Fast Web Design For Webmaster
Placed in Website Design, Website Guide | June 4th, 2009
About two years ago, I got into website design. I have a display in a London classified ad paper. Not want to: Web Designer looking for work … “It was expensive, etc, over £ 500 for a month.
Have you some answers. Lesson number one: advertise where clients of class you will see. The clients that I thought, £ 300, a quantity of a website. Do not pay for Web hosting. They wanted a lot of Bang for their Buck. “Mission creep” is a concept that I have to know and hate.
These me thinking: what can I do to these people all they ever want, but not much time and money? Recently, I realized how much.
How can you a website fully operational in one day? Easy (ish).
1. Content management system Mambo http://www.mambo.com
I wanted, I found this software a few years ago. It is free. The set-up allows people without web design skills, the website updated. It has a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) option. This HtmlArea-code for text boxes. Each input field HTML is a mini-HTML editor.
If you can use Microsoft Word, you can use the HTML code of the page.
To run, you must know that the installation of MySQL databases, PHPMyAdmin or as part of your web hosting package.
You can text, edit, send e-mails to members, and be contacted by users.
The only criticism I have of this software are:
1. The admin interface is confusing. Everything is there to find, and it is the problem!
2. You must Template for the search sites are likely to find, for purpose of your site. I just wanted to clean business. Most of those available seem to have a fat graphic, half of the screen. There are more to include on the outside.
It is small gripes, compared to the discharge, which is essentially a website in a box. It can in one hour, after you with it.
To add e-commerce on your site:
Cart OsCommerce http://www.oscommerce.com
It is also a complete software Freeware. You can a lot of freeware plug-ins “for, for a professional basket.
Therein lies the danger. Some of these plug-ins need to modify or replace the standard basket of files. If you try to create an upgraded version of the cars later, you can “break” is using a plug-in, allowing for errors.
The trick here is to install plug-ins, add-files (and will not), or require minor changes to existing files.
What I do, download all versions of the plug-in type I need eg a WYSIWYG editor. I then choose the files less, or a new directory for files. If necessary, overwrite files, or complex, I Chuck it.
OsCommerce and Mambo. Do not try to integrate them! Hyperlink from one to another. I tried to integrate other software such as phpBB and PhpNuke. Well if it works, but if one or the other, arrgh!
* Do you separate databases *. If we skew-key, at least, more work. The same goes for adding chat rooms, etc.. If all of the database and the database is …
It may offend your sense of order for your visitors to have to place twice at home, but I thank you for the advice Sage later. Remember, KISS is the basic rule of computing (Keep It Simple, Stupid!).
