New Website Idea Help

    Hi, I am thinking of making a new website. It will be a website similar to siteslike.com. I am a novice html user. I don't have any knowledge about databases. Although, I think this one has to do with databases. So can someone explain to me the whole process of the website making. I mean where do i start and how does it work or how does the site siteslike.com work? Thanks

    You will either need to start working through beginners PHP tutorials and get to know about databases, security, and design or hire someone. I doubt there are any multipage websites that don't use a database, nothing special about them but a vital skill you need.

    Yes, I agree with sarahk, you should try to learn basic PHP before you want to create a website, since a website is not just enough with a database

    Use online tutorials available in youtube for each topic and learn step by step methods , Also search for the books with 'topic' + dummies (eg : photoshop for dummies) .

    You need to develop the strategies you would be planning to make your website and depending upon it you will have to learn different stuff. Major information is available from Google and you will have to learn how to integrate database with website.

    I wasn't originally a web developer. I was a programmer and had no idea of HTML/PHP etc. I mean I could write a bit of HTML but never tackled anything like CGI on myown. I used an oreily book when in college to learn php really fast (like 2-3 days) max and was able to build a CD database with shopping cart. The tutorial is in the book and several smaller ones.

    I personally find it is best to type out the sample programs and click run rather than copy paste run. If you already can do HTML you will "internalize" some code automatically.


    You have a great idea. Siteslike is pretty good idea but it is full of ads and rarely shows relevant sites in most cases. I am hoping someone else will go ahead and doa better job. Using a project in mind in order to learn is a good thing. You wont get bogged down my too much information which you may never need. Secondly , the website/project will never be complete, you will only make it better as you learn.

    all the best
