If you're building a user-facing, database backed website, Django should meet your requirements. > i.e. are there many predone components for this kind of thing which > can be utilised to speedup development time? Yes, there are. If you'd like an indication of the ecosystem of apps and plugins that are available, look at: http://djangopackages.com/packages/p/opencomparison/ This isn't a 100% comprehensive list (i.e., it's worth doing other searches), but it is fairly extensive. > Also, is DJango scalable enough for a system of this sort, or should I > pick a competitor? The decision to use Django won't be what stops your site from scaling. For example, Mozilla and Disqus both use Django, and their sites handle millions of requests a day. The ability of a site to scale has a lot more to do with database design, caching choices, and so on. Django gives you the tools to make your site as scalable as you need.
