phpwcms Support Forum

Hi,

I'm completely new to phpwcms and I'm trying to evaluate if it is the right tool for me. In the last days I've visited many CMS resources and as a result I'm very impressed by phpwcms and websites built by phpwcms. I've just have a couple of pleminirary questions before I start to study it more in details.

I would like to build a country portal and earn some money from advertising. Can you tell me if there are limitation to the use of banners, buttons, ads and affiliate linking in websites built with phpwcms?

I've visited many websites of the "sites you are proud of" section. There are so many beautiful sites there. The only thing I don't like so much that the majority of the sites use a text size that is a little small for my eyes on a 1.280 x 1.024 pixel 17-inch LCD display (but I suppose that it is bigger on displays with smaller DPIs). Can I use also bigger text sizes without too many complications or there is some reason for the majority of you sticking with the smaller text sizes?

What do you think, is it really a good idea to build my country portal with phpwcms instead of Dreamweaver or some other html editor? I suppose yes, but I would like to know also your opinion.

Thank you for your attention!

hello

edit the css file and you will have bigger font sizes

nad the ad question, you need to use something like phpmyads or so. and there no limitations in phpwcms. cos there is no inbuild banner system.

Ok, I'll play with css...

And then when it's time I'll see phpmyads, for now it's important that there are no limitations...

Many of the phpwcms sites are incredibly fast, even with the menus and many pictures per page. That's really wonderful. What shall I do (or what I shouldn't do) when building my portal to keep this lightening speed?

Thank you very much for your help!
