mostafatalebi Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hello everybody I have experience of web programming. But I do not have any experience of a big fully structured Web Programming. Therefore I ask for guides from members: Explanation: This website is quite a big, or if initially not, would extend into a big site by the next year/or near future. The customer strictly emphasizes on the availability of a very good and smooth Content Management System [to be designed]. For him, since this is a Real-State Website, a CMS with the option of adding specific regions/cities/states to the option menu is of high significance. Thus, for now, I propose three questions: Question #1: In order for the option menus to be upgradable, from CMS, is it better to use a Database table, or simply an XML file? which is better? Question #2: Is using MVC necessary and thus promising? Question #3: Is it good to use Dreamweaver, or I have to use some advance frameworks such as Zend? Thanks so much in advance Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278617-need-guide-for-a-big-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 1. Database. 2. It's a very good idea. 3. Please don't use Dreamweaver. A framework is also a good idea, even if just to save some time.

dannon Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Oh! Can you explain a little bit about the second and third arguments. specially using DW. 2. By using an MVC, it will make it a lot easier to manage your website's content. 3. Dreamweaver is an IDE not a framework. I personally hate Dreamweaver for php coding. I use Netbeans and sometimes PhpStorm.

mostafatalebi Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Then I need more info for Framework. I mean is it necessary to use a Framework, or IDEs like Dreamweaver or NetBeans are enough?

No, it is not necessary to use frameworks, but they can help you. IDEs are just here to help you write code by highlighting keywords, suggesting code, checking for errors and more. You can code your website in Notepad if you really wanted.

trq Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 If you are seriously asking these questions it is highly likely that you are not ready to take on such a task. Sorry, but people should really learn to walk before they attempt to run.

mostafatalebi Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sorry you never learn to run even if you master walking. You learn running when begin to run. How can I make a big site by just making small ones (which I already have done)? Isn't it better to start making a big site!?

DaveyK Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Then try building a small website using MVC and an IDE before you take on the big fish Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278617-need-guide-for-a-big-website/#findComment-1433369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
