I'm amazed at how often I catch others and myself making this cardinal mistake. In fact, I'm making the mistake right now and I know it.The mistake is trying to build a mansion from a house's foundation. It's silly to even think about. How can a giant mansion be held up by something meant for something so much smaller?
Your framework limits your capabilities and while new frameworks require new skills, the payoff is worth it.
We recently transitioned to Wordpress from our custom CMS. Developers have been blowing smoke all over the place warning people about the evils of Wordpress. The fact is, it's more robust, simpler to use, fast and reliable. With a few key guidelines, your cost of IT will drop heavily by using it or switching to it.
On the other hand, we have an e-commerce solution where we are praying to the stars above for updates so we can inch closer to our competition. The other solution is to slowly develop everything ourselves and compromise its the speed of upgrades.
My advice, get good an flexible. As you grow, you'll need to change frameworks get ready for it.
