Need help to create new website!!

yeah,some databse software would be cool.ill google around a bit,maybe i can find something i want for my page

 

agreed i have been with godaddy and 1&1 and to be honest the service was shockingly shit
with hostgator now and couldnt be happier

 

Look mate, we could argue about hosting till the cows come home. I've had a good few decent £12 a year hosts in my time. I agree with you 100% about the fact that PHP is the best way to go on this project. But for the quick fix, for a static archive website I stand by my recommendation to do it in HTML/CSS as it would be the least hassle (again my opinion). With a lot of these editors you don't need to know a shred of HTML or CSS as they employ a WYSIWYG interface.

Also, yeah I don't doubt you for a second as far as the hosts who provide PHP as standard and are decent hosts. I guess the last time I went shopping that just didn't exist.

Of course the best option would be WordPress (again I suggested this in the second post on this thread) at the end of the day. But the quickest fix for Joseph_capelli in my personal opinion would be plain HTML.

I'm happy you're considering DB software now, and I'm sure whichever way you go you'll find tons of support here mate. People here don't mind helping people who want to help themselves.

If you're considering a CMS (Content Management System - For those reading who are clueless) I'd still suggest Wordpress.

 

maybe i am a bit stupid,but i cant find any good programm that will create a database for websites for my discs.does anyone knows a good programm maybe?

 

Wordpress.

*EDIT*

Personally, I find Drupal easier for that sort of thing, though - but the learning curve is steeper with Drupal. Still, getting a good book on either one is probably the answer to that.

I guess my point with saying Wordpress is that you're not really listening to us. I'll spell it out for you, again...

You want a CMS!

(Wordpress is, well can be used as, a CMS. Drupal IS a CMS)

Beyond that, you need a little self help. If you can't figure out how to do a specific thing, it's OK to ask, but don't expect people to hold your hand and tell you how to do everything. I would suggest choosing a CMS and getting a book or at least finding an online guide on that CMS. Install the CMS. Play with the CMS. Download add-ons (plug-ins, themes etc.) to do what you want it to do. And if there's something you don't know, ask... although you'd be better off asking on the official forum for the CMS rather than a video game forum.

Good luck!

 

I use Wix.com

One of the many WYSIWYG builders out there but there are some nice templates and the hosting prices aren't bad. Not sure what the plugins are like for what you need but maybe worth exploring.

I'd show you my site but its currently being built.

 

This +9000!

Please!

 

yeah,wix.com seems to be very good..thanks for this,i think ill give it a try there

 

hey...

There we go mate! How top does it feel to get your hands dirty?

If you want to get by when asking for help it's best to remember that people won't tolerate someone who wants something done but isn't willing to put in the time and effort to achieve it, unless they're offering a handsome reward in return

If you get into web development (which I highly recommend) then the rewards are amazing. It feels unbelievable to produce your own site, and more often than not it becomes your personal obsession to refine it and add to it as much as possible. If you get good enough then you have a marketable skill meaning you can use your computer to generate some 'dead presidents' as Jay-Z used to say - I did, and you'll choke when you find out how much a functional website goes for!

 

Not bad. Works pretty well on mobile devices too.

Wix is ok, it's probably as easy as it can get when it comes to basic web design, they used to be awful as they did everything in flash but their switch to HTML5 makes it much easier to work with.

I'm using it just because I need a basic landing page/portfolio for my development work.

 

Why not get some cheap hosting (ISPs used to give free hosting, not sure if they still do) and put up a nice, responsive page then, Twimfy? It looks more professional than a site advertising itself over your page. Or a dedicated profiling / online business card site. Something like about.me, perhaps?
