Question

CMS

I want to create a city website. Yellow Pages. When the site is more or less filled with content, I would like to sell ad units on the site.
But, here, the question is tormenting .. On which engine to create a site? Please advise! It will not be possible to make money on ready-made sites, since control will be partial. You can do anything on your site. I would like a convenient and intuitive tool.
Offer all sorts of options.

Answer 1

yii2, for example, half of the code can be generated through a visual editor, page templates can be filed in a text editor. The framework is not complicated, there are a lot of articles on the Internet.
If even easier - wordpress.
