yandoo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi all, I'm about to embark on building a website for a friend. It is all about natural health and includes weekly blogs, tips, news and articles, along with media. The question I have is should I build it in php/mysql or just stick with simple html/css? I'm fairly new to php and mysql although do have some experience so in terms of learning curve and difficulty in the language is not really an issue. However I'm not sure which was to go.. The main obvious advantage is that I could have my own build search function for the blog, tips, news etc records in my database but is this a bit over kill when I could just use 3rd party scrips and engines like google custom search and stuff. Whats the most common best practice for a website of this type? Any ideas would be super. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDCode Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Most blogs us simplicity with html php and css. You could make it fancier by using jquery and/or ajax so the page does not refresh; but seems a bit pointless. If you are going to allow any entry that needs to be displayed on a page (comments, blog entries, etc.) which is what I assume, you will need php/mysql.

yandoo Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thank you so much for your reply, I agree with you there. I did think it may be a bit overkill... So for premade websites like word press and weebly etc where they have "leave comments" under each article do they all have mysql database then?
