Site conversion / is phpwcms the one for me?

Post by pego »

Hi all,

I am developing and maintainig a guitar- lesson site and am considering using a CMS.

The site would only be a community building site in some aspects (there is already a forum, so thats not a problem any more).

For the major part it is me, the admin who will be publishing articles, lessons and reviews. Sometimes input from users will be asked (rate this lesson...).

The features I am looking for:

Easy publishing with (automatic) creation of new pages after a page break with creation of a link to these 2nd, 3rd etc pages.

Each lessons/article will contain several pictures (gif) of scores and tabulatures, so it schould be easy to insert them/ cataloque them / refer to them.

Each lesson will as well contain links (play buttons) referring to mp3 files. Same as with pictures: easy etc...

The lay out should be "monitor- wide", due to the horizontal size and the needeed resolution for the scores in gif.

Background MUST be white for the content , again for the scores (grrrr, but it is like that).

Do you think this is feasible for my kind of site, and do you think phpwcms is the tool for the job?

I have to stress the fact I do not know anything about PHP and stylesheets. I handcoded the actual site in html (with a little help from Acehtml) and set up the forum, and that is as far as it goes for the moment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Still looking for a CMS. Tried Mambo and didn't like it. Tried a few others, to no avail.

I think I am going to give phpwcms a try.

phpWCMS is great
very simple to use and you should grasp pretty quickly.

Mambo, needs more time and you need to read the manual. :-)
