City Community Portal

[convcapri]

Hi,
I am new to this forum and I hope I am not in the wrong place for my question.
I would like to know if there is anyone here that has put together a "city", "town", or "hometown" community portal using PHP. I am looking for the software programmed to install on my server so I can build a community portal for my city. I am not a programmer, so I have to rely on someone to help me. Or, if you know of a software that can be purchased reasonably, that would be a big help.
Thanks,
ConvCapri

You could try a Content Management System (CMS) such as PHP Nuke or Post Nuke.

For a (probably) full list of CMSes, take a look here
