An Overview
As you probably know, web pages are coded with a number of technologies. HTML for markup, CSS for styling, JavaScript for scripting. Besides, there is Flash, which is great for animations.
A Centent Management System
We can create both usual HTML and CSS web sites, and CMS web sites. A Content Management System (a CMS) is a website platofrm, which facilitates creation and handling of your web site. A CMS is a program written in a programming language, such as PHP. It provides a user interface in a web browser and looks like a web site, except that it is "smart". Instead of having many actual pages, it stores contents in a database, such as SQL, and this allows not only great interactivity, but also easier creation and editing of pages.
Visit out tutorials section to have a look at SiteHound Drupal interface of adding and editing pages. Mark how you no longer have to add HTML markup or know CSS, but can use a friendly HTML editor to add and manage pages.
Have a look at a SiteHound Drupal CMS overview.
Experience tells us, that most of the customers, who ask for a simple HTML/CSS site, later regret they have not chosen a CMS for their web platform. That happens as soon as they want to add a contact form, allow comments on their pages, or want to create a blog or an integrated web shop.
Coding to Adding Contents
The process of coding results in a functional site, that you can test. At this stage, you should already have rented a good hosting (I reccomend PowWeb), where the site can be uploaded. As soon as there is a working skeleton of your site, it will be uploaded to hosting for you to play around with it and track further changes as they are being made.
If you are using a CMS, coding ends up with an installed Sitehound Drupal (or another CMS of your choice) and the theme (look∧feel) of your web site. Now, the last step, is adding contents. We have singled that step out, because some clients get used to CMS, and prefer to add contents to their web sites on their own (which is also covered in our tutorials section).
Move the the Adding Contents section.
