Need for a CMS, ... I have no php knowledge ( or little )

[Klaas_Koopman]

Hello Everyone,


Currently I am working on a school project. And I need to create/use a cms behind this design, www.dikkop.com

At first I wanted to go for Joomla, but it seems it's harder then I have thought. Now I thought of using wordpress as it's easier to skin, as far as I have seen right now.

I know how to use php includes, but that's about it. I need people who aren't capable of html/css etc to add pages to our website! I first thought to just make sort of my own cms by using a lot of php includes, but it does not allow me to make pages and use wysiwyg. So I am asking for your help.

Should I learn how to make my own cms behind it.

Or should I use some cms software, if so which one is easiest for skinning!

Thank you ahead,

Creating ur own cms will be hard without the php know how. How u not looked at the extensions available to the existing OS CMS.

Drupal is good one you have made your template (that is only really 1 to 3 files) you can just go in the admin section and make pages from there with HTML, PHP know how or not its really easy once you get the hang of it and it doesnt take long to do that

*look at me I should make cash for this*

Drupal hea? So you are saying I should go with drupal?

[MadKad]

Yes drupal best thing about it once you have done your site you can show it in the showcase on drupal forum and you will get about 400+ hits in a month
