Suggest Plugin or Framework

  • Hi

    Want to build a WordPress website that involves:

    1. Front-end User registration (with Captcha)

    2. On front-end username / password for login on top of all pages. Also, login via Facebook / Twitter is allowed

    3. Logged in users can create (within some configurable limit like 40 or 50) the following:

    – Articles (/posts)
    – Multiple Business profile pages for their companies
    – Upload images (shown on front-end under Gallery link)
    – Questions (that will show under ‘Ask an Expert’)

    NOTE: Two Taxonomies are 1. Areas 2.Products which will have several options, Example, Areas = Dining, Drawing, Kitchen, Toilets…
    Products = Artwork, Furniture, Lighting …

    All Articles, Business Profiles, Gallery images and Questions must be related to one or more of types of the Two Taxonomies (Areas & Products). For example, an Article can be associated with Dining (Area type) and Artwork (Product type)

    4. Admin: Advertisement management, Subscribe to Newsletter, Yoast SEO plugins are required. Admin can mark these items as Featured
    => Business page, Article, Question, Gallery Image

    5. On front-end:

    – Two column (most pages), One column (one or two pages)

    – Advertisements & Subscribe form will be visible on all pages

    – Directory of Business pages, Gallery, Article-list and Question-Answer list will be separate pages linked from menu-items.

    – On the pages of List of Business pages, Gallery, Article-list and list of Question-Answers, search box will be there.

    Article search by (Author name, keywords, Product, Area)
    Gallery Image search by (Product, Area)
    Business Pages Search by (name, location of registered user, Product, Area), Questions (Product, Area, Keywords)

    – One page for each Product / Area option like one page for dining, one page for artwork.

    – One page template that shows featured articles or featured images.

    Q1: I can do medium PhP and handle responsive CSS. Is there a comprehensive plugin that can help build the above with minimal coding?

    Q2. If a plugin like Types or ACF cannot handle most of this should I be looking at a framework like Genesis or is there too much of a learning curve for a framework?
