HTML5 CSS3 Website Help

[1823alex]

So I'm coding a website for my Minecraft server, I'm using Enjin right now and I'm considering switching to my own website. So I don't know how or if its possible to do some things in HTML or CSS. Note: My skills are right now limited to HTML and CSS (Been using www.w3schools.com) (I'm trying to get it to have the same functionality as my Enjin website server status, forums, news, players etc.) (My Enjin Site)

I need to code the following:

Forum

News section (Preferrably updated without editing server side code)

Login/Register (User Account Management)

Thats about all I need at the moment.

I've attached what I have so far for my website. If theres anything thats not needed in the site please tell me. Also I'm a bit of a web coding noob right now so try to simplify stuff and try to just add on to the code I have avaliable for download.

Any help is appreciated.

A forum and login/register is best done with a premade forum, such as Vbulletin or this forum that LTT is running. Coding a forum requires lots of PHP code knowledge.

 

A news section that doesn't require server side editing will also need PHP. I recommend reading up on that

Your best bet is to go with some type of Content Management System(CMS) as stated above.

 

Find which one fits your specs and go from there....

 

Quick list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems

 

I am a fan of PHP but there are many other server sided language some of which are outlined in the link above.

If you aren't into CMS or anything you could do it yourself with HTML/CSS and PhP but it's not something you'll learn in a few days.

If you want to make your own website don't think it's easy. The basic design is just a couple minutes of work but when you are talking about details... That takes up a lot of your time!

Those features you listed are no simple things to implement.

 

As @laxer mentioned, you may want to consider using a CMS. Most CMS's out there have ways of implementing most of what you are looking for and some are even built-in (like login/registration).

 

Have you tried looking at Wordpress?
