Need help to create new website!!

Hey there
Iam planning to create a new website,for all of my ps2 public beta,xbox live beta,kiosk and other discs!
As i am not really good in creating graphics and php pages,i mwanted to ask here,if there is someone who might wants to help me!
Any kind of help would be much appreciated
thanks

 

Check out Wordpress, it doesn't take long to get a simple but nice looking PHP website going using one of the included templates. Though unless you're thinking of including a comments section you could just do it in html with a simple theme.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to help out at the moment myself mate.

 

I agree, Wordpress is definitely your best option.

 

Use something simple like Wordpress or Blogspot.

 

yeah,i know wordpress,but i think it will be much easier to creat just some php pages.i dont need much,just some graphics and a standart php page to use it for the other pages.
so i need the following pages for: ps2 public betas,xbox live betas,xbox kiosk demos,xbox 360 kiosk demos,demos

 

I would go with Wordpress/Blogspot as well, I'm using Wordpress for my blog. If you are not familiar with php (like I am) it's the easy option. Bear in mind you'll have to install php+apache+mysql although most host install that for you but you'll have to configure these to a degree in order to run a php site. HTML is much easier.

 

ok,about blogspot:is there any chance to copy that programm to a own domain??

 

never used blogspot but have used Wordpress and can recommend it as others have above, very easy to setup and very very easy to make your site look good by using tons of available templates and can be loaded onto your own server, shouldnt take you more than a couple of hours to get it up and running

 

ok,i should test wordpress,but i prefer to create my own pages with some php tools

 

i suppose it depends on scale-ability, if your website is going to grow and get used by alot of people then doing your own PHP code might not be efficient enough when lots of people are using your site, however wordpress and the like have been designed to do this so you can find that your own code my have problems in the future (in which case you will have to fix manually and discover why it happened) whereas the pre-built environment will sail through it

good luck with the site no matter which route you take!

 

You only use Php to interact with your database or to create script
You'll have to use HTML/CSS to create a website.

But yea, try wordpress, it's easy to use.

 

anyway,thanks for your help guys.ill give it a try with MS frontpage first,if that doesnt work ill try NVU

 

Front page?? They still make that?

Seriously, Wordpress is perfect for what you want I can't stress this enough - just have a look at the templates and customisation options. I personally use Dreamweaver when in windows and ether Gedit + firefox when in linux or get a proper (free) IDE from the software respoitory.

I'm certain that it will look awful using front page, I've not used that since 1998. Though I admit they could have improved it, however I've not heard of anyone using that program since the 90s in the web development scene.

 

Hope I'm not too late to chime in, but another vote for WordPress!
That said, I've been fiddling with a basic PHP / HTML version of my site... it just makes it look so damn... well retro! :loyal:
But WordPress is definitely my weapon of choice.
Problem is with WordPress, so many plugins, so many options! It's hard to pick and choose what you want! :encouragement:

 

I wouldn't recommend WordPress, I would in fact recommend coding it up in HTML/CSS the design first. This is because you have control of everything and know exactly how the website works. You can then add a database and connect it via scripting such as PHP. It will allow you to learn how websites are created. I've quite a bit of experience with HTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript myself but i'm unsure what type of website is suitable for your needs.

 

You can resign any domain to these sites, like blogspot and wordpress. I've been meaning to buy a domain for a while...

 

would not recommend MS Frontpage mate (i didnt think it was still updated etc. i thought it was now a legacy program)

if you want to do it yourself then use something like Dreamweaver and even then only if you want to know how the website works etc. if you just want a working website without any of the hassle then just go for wordpress

 

I can't believe you don't have one yet! Get a move on! HexHax.net :boxing:

 

Considering he is going to use Frontpage, somehow I don't think a database created from scratch is in his future hah.

 

Doesn't sound like he's looking to learn to code one himself. He ether wants someone to produce it for him or something nice and easy to use hence why Wordpress is the prevailing suggestion here.
