Create my own website with database?

Question

is there a quick (1-2 days) way to create my own website prototype with database behind it

I tried to use google sites, but they do not include a database and database search function

thanks

Answer 1

all those answers are pretty much toast. a CMS is not going to give you search capabilities.

BTW, If you put your site on Google, you can put in your own CSE (Custom Search Engine) through Google Webmaster Tools. saves a lot of code and gives you the list of top 100 keywords people searched on your site so you can optimize.

CSE allows you to put a google search box on your web site that searches your web site only (at first, later searches). if you want to see it in action, go to http://JesusnJim.com



otherwise, you will be writing your own PHP+MYSQL/pgsql code. mysql and pgsql provide different text search functions, but they both commonly have the keyword LIKE, REGEXP.

but to use the full-text search facilities, you will need to alter the structure of your database to FULLTEXT.



note that if you ever decide to switch hosting, you are more likely to find mysql than pgsql, so I suggest learning development in mysql.

the 2nd-last link is the main manual link for the mysql manual.



do NOT do mysql/php development on the production server. install a local web server package li8ke XAMPP or WAMPP on your pc and do development on THAT instead - besides - it's a lot faster. see last link.



use http://w3schools.com for beginner's training on sql, php, and other web technologies. bevvy of stuff.

Answer 2

I far as i know quickest way to setup a website with a database is to use content management system(CMS). Some of the best CMS in the market are



1.Wordpress

2. Drupal

3. Joomla



These three are open source and hence can be used by anyone for almost all types of websites.



Wordpress is at its best when used as a blog site.

Drupal is good for a programmer, lack in design

Joomla is user friendly and is easy to maintain.



Its up to you which one you choose.

Answer 3

you need paid hosting, or you may purchase a program that can import products from a database such as hyperpublish http://www.hyperpublish.com (that way you can use a database to have a static website that you can publish everywhere... also the server load will be low because you don't have a huge database engine to be under the site

Answer 4

Try Joomla or Drupal...they use SQL databases, and are pretty easy to set up. Or you can learn PHP/MySQL and create your own..there are several free hosts that offer free hosting with databases.

Answer 5

yes, but you have to pay for all the good ones.
