I wasn't sure where to post this but I have been working on a system of PHP scripts that generate a web site for me based on some limited input regarding which header, footer, background image, etc. to use. It isn't quite a template system of which there are abundant one's on the internet. It reads web page content from regular text files which contain some very limited markup which is converted on the fly into appropriate html. Anyway I don't know of anything else like my system on the Internet and am wondering about it's marketable potential to help people create web sites like the simple one's used in Adsense (i.e. 4 or 5 page web sites all using the same basic template). My system allows me to create a web site super fast (once the header and footer graphics have been created...if I am going to have a graphic image header and footer). I was wondering if I could describe my system more, even layout out example code, and perhaps an example web site or two that I have created with it here in this thread to get a better handle on whether it is worth pursuing the marketing of it and not just using it in-house for my own web site creation needs?

If you can really create web sites that quickly with a good interface it seems like something worth trying to promote many people would like a quick way to generate new web sites.
Thanks for the input you all. I assume it is okay for me to say more about it here then. At least I hope that is okay. Here is the guts of my system. It is the ONE file that a user changes things in to generate a web page once the individual pieces of a web site are known and the plain text content files of the individual web site pages have been created. <?php /* * This file is required by both index.php and contact-me.php so the code below cannot just be copied into index.php! */ $page = new webPage(); $page->setHeader(""); $page->setContentBackground(""); $page->setPageBackground(); $page->setFooter(""); $page->setCopyright("Copyright © 2009 by xxxxxx - All Rights Reserved"); $navLinks = array( "Home" => "/", "About Me" => "about-me", "Contact Me" => "contact-me", "Privacy Policy" => "privacy-policy" ); $page->setLeftContent($navLinks, "18.1em"); /* * Email settings used to email you information entered into the contact form by site visitors. */ $page->setSmtpServer("xxxxxx"); $page->setSmtpUserName("xxxxxx"); $page->setSmtpPassword("xxxxxx"); $page->setSmtpPort(xxxxx); $page->setYourEmailAddress("xxxxxxxxxxxx"); $page->setYourName("xxxxx"); $page->setSubject("xxxxxxxxxxx"); ?> Code (markup): I have xx'd out the private email settings. If it's okay for me to post a link to the site above to show you what a site created with my system looks like let me know. A couple of things to note.... I will explain more and go into how my system works more as I get further interest and input. Carlos
