When a lot of people think of websites they think of writing line after line of code. While this is true for some, and even the preferred method for a few, there’s other options out there. Have you ever wanted a blog, a local restaurant review site, or even an all-in-one community system?
That’s possible without having to know any code.
There’s many solutions that exist for just those types of sites, and the best thing about it? Many are available as one-click installs on your hosting account here at GlowHost! These are called Content Management Systems. A content management system is designed to allow users with little or no knowledge of web coding to create a fully-functional website that can be customized to meet your needs. But don’t get me wrong, even if you’re fully proficient with HTML, PHP, CSS, what have you, a CMS can still be a good thing!
Personally, I started with PHPNuke years ago to get a website off the ground quickly for a gaming clan. It allowed for independent login access for each person, complete forums for posts back and forth, an FAQ section for answers to questions, and even an RSS-based back end for articles posted. After setting the configuration options which are done through a webpage directly on my account, I had a site ready to add my personal touch.
