Need for a CMS, ... I have no php knowledge ( or little )

Klaas Koopman · 05-23-2006, 08:17 AM

Hello Everyone,

Currently I am working on a school project. And I need to create/use a cms behind this design, www.dikkop.com

At first I wanted to go for Joomla, but it seems it's harder then I have thought. Now I thought of using wordpress as it's easier to skin, as far as I have seen right now.

I know how to use php includes, but that's about it. I need people who aren't capable of html/css etc to add pages to our website! I first thought to just make sort of my own cms by using a lot of php includes, but it does not allow me to make pages and use wysiwyg. So I am asking for your help.

Should I learn how to make my own cms behind it.

Or should I use some cms software, if so which one is easiest for skinning!

Thank you ahead,

Klaas Koopman

Well I have little to no php knowledge so would this be easy to use, if you have seen my design on www.dikkop.com, would it be easy to use this on?

You don't need php knowledge for this one, all you need to do is change the html parts for the template, and phpwebsite is easy to change designs, I think that your design can be fitted in there, apart from maybe a few minor edits. It comes with lots of changeable templates, also with rounded edges like yours.

And it's free right? Or not? Cause I am looking for a free solution as it's just a schools project!
