Developing help needed for a newbie...Thanks

gilescoley · 02-25-2009, 04:33 AM

Hi all

I have never done any developing before but I want to give it a go on a particular project I am working on. I usually have a friend do the dev work but he has moved on and I want to build a small website, maybe 6 or 7 pages is all I will need.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-design-discussion/562337-developing-help-needed-for-newbie-thanks.html

Could anyone suggest a hosting company that has one of those built-in website designers, I am looking for something simple and easy, but must still look quite professional and the price must be reasonable too... am I asking for too much?? lol

Is it just as easy to use like Wordpress/Joomla etc...I just figured it easier to have everything in one place for easy management

Any suggestions or ideas from the pros on this would be appreciated. I am new to all this developing stuff

Thanks in advance everyone

i would suggest going with wordpress. it's quite easy to learn and extremely easy to manage once you've played around with it. there are also lots of free themes out there so you can get the look/design you want.

Thanks shockie, I have heard wordpress is pretty popular. I will give it a try. Does anyone know of a good website with step by step instructions or an easy to follow Wordpress manual.

I would also recommend Wordpress; their own website has a quick installation guide, as we as a detailed one, so you really can't go wrong.
And as shockie mentioned, there are thousands of themes to choose from and the back-end us user-friendly and easy to maintain.
