A website that offers registration / membership requires a backend database, normally achieved using Php/Mysql. You cannot offer a membership site without a database, or at least an external php file holding membership information (can cause problems). You certainly can't create a membership site using just HTML.



Sorry for the bad news.

Uh well....

sorry for the bad news but there's no way you can do that with HTML.

HTML basically is only able to print stuff out. It can put tables, forms, headings etc, but it can connect with the user except mailto.



If you know CSS then you should know that CSS only styles the page, makes it nice to see.



Then comes MySQL and PHP. They are what user can interact with you. Well, there's other languages to, but I wouldn't recommend to start with them. PHP and Mysql are a lot harder then HTML. It's proper programming, with if and else and Else-if and whiles etc.



MySql basically makes the databases, which your users would use, so its how it updates itself. It's not hard, at least in my opinion PHP is harder. So if you are set on making a good website, and are able to devote time to it, here's what I would do.



1. Make sure your HTML skills are good, if there not I'd either go on w3schools and watch The new bostons videos, or buy the book Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS, 2nd Edition.



2. You see in that book I mentioned above the word CSS. If you don't know what that is then I again highly recommend that book, or the New Bostons videos (on youtube), (the new ones, not the oldies)



3. So now all you have to do is learn PHP and Mysql which is unfortunately for you the hardest bit. I would buy a book, and read some tutorials until you get it. Once you master all of that you can make pages with, login pages, member pages, polls etc.



If your not serious about all of this, I'd just find some free software that does it for you.



Hope this really long answer helped,

Aimee.

You can't if all you have to work with is HTML. In order to do any kind of user/member system, you'd need a site capable of connecting to and interacting with a database. And for that, you'd need to learna server-side scripting language like PHP or ASP.net.

You can't do that with HTML.

I doubt you know PHP or else you'd know the basics of web back-ends and front-ends.

PHP interacts with the server.

HTML is just stylings.



But if you know then PHP, then adding a basic member system is fairly easy. Just make a database with a few fields, for example ID, NAME, email address, password, birthdate, signup date.

then make a registration page in PHP to process a form and feed it into the database.

then make a simple form for logging in. It will just check a user's email and password to make sure it fits the records in the database.



Make sure to use PHP sessions if you want them to be logged in across multiple pages, and also be sure to encode the passwords with MD5 or another encryption.

There are somewhat some club scripts attainable for the two static web content and blogs - some low-value at the same time as others somewhat costly based what's secure in the scripts. i take advantage of LoginFrequencyMarketing on quite a few web content. you've gotten quite a few ranges of memberships,buddies software and lots greater.

You cant create sign up/in systems with html alone. You need to expand your programming knowledge if any.
