Advice re: how to create a website like 'Pre-loved'?
Discussion
I am a relative web design/ web hosting novice and would appreciate advice on how to quickly create a simpler version of the Pre-loved website?
A free platform where members of the public can upload photos of household items they want to trade or sell (i.e. Consumer to consumer). It will be different to Gumtree or Pre-loved as it will be targeting a very specific market. Possible advertising revenue in the future.
All input appreciated!

So if I create a website using the Wordpress 'Classified engine', how do I choose the correct hosting site so that it can be scaled up easily when traffic increases?
I think you can tell I'm a bit of a novice at all of this!
But ask me about international corporate taxation and transfer pricing and I'm your man...

I have been involved with several of the largest classified sites in the UK, I have also set-up and ran a few of my own and more recently was SEO Lead for a $60MM funded classifieds platform start-up.
From a start-up position you are in, where you go with the what actual platform will depend on what budget you have, if you have a few hundred $$ or there abouts I'd start with an off the shelf solution for you to get started with...https://geodesicsolutions.com/client-area/task,product/product_id,68/
I'd avoid Wordpress as it is not really intended to be used in this way and all the pluggins and themes I have used all have real issues with them that are not easily fixed. You will also find any Wordpress set-up will be quite slow on the pagespeed side of things.
Feel free to drop me a PM if you want a bit more guidance.
