I would suggest that you need to first identify your needs to decide whether your new site is more web site, web application, or CMS. Much of that decision depends on the type of content (static vs. dynamically driven by database content, how often static content changes, and whether or not you want end-users top be able to make most if not all changes to static content without developer assistance. Having made that choice, you 're then ready to begin comparing options with respect to the tools you'll use to build that site. Ruby on Rails is the tool of choice for most readers of this list. It is, IMHO, the preeminent choice if you need a database-driven web application. It would be a very poor choice if what you really need is just a static web site, and not much better if what you need is an end-user-editable CMS. At this point I think you're looking for someone who can help you identify your needs. I'm afraid I'm not aware of any mailing lists that focus on that space. So the first part of my recommendation would be to reach out, preferably to someone you already know and trust, for help in that. If you don't have someone like that in your 'circle', then feel free to ask here. There are many here who have that experience in their background and this is a very helpful list. A good starting point would be a link to the site you intend to rebuild, along with some explanation of _why_ you're rebuilding it; especially what it is that it doesn't do now that you really need it to do? You might want to start a new thread with a new subject; something that includes 'need advice'.
