HOW TO BUILD A WEBSITE USING A CMS

Student:Ionut Silviu Pirvulescu

What does CMS stand for? Content Management System

Getting everything set up properly will be a technically challenging project, because even the simplest CMS has a

lot of complex programming.

There’s a wide variety of different content management systems available, and the best one to choose for your

needs depends on what features you want to have on your site.

First of all you have to:

talk to client

choose a CMS depending on scope

make it unique and functional

DESCRIPTION

After you’ve chosen the best CMS that suits your needs you have to:

-download the copy from the CMS website

-unzip the archive to your local folder

-copy the files to your web server through a FTP program

-create a MySQL database, along with a user(with name and password) to use the database

-specify the database path, name and the user login and password

-set the CMS settings, strucjture and layout as an admin

After doing the basic steps it’s pure software development.

Designing the looks and functional modules that the client requires involves following the steps described in the

ACTIONS presentation.

TIMESCALE PICTURES

Plan way ahead Go step by step Give your visitors and clients a way to

cooperate/communicate Less is more (number of pages/plugins/links on

page/modules/etc) Quality beats quantity

In case of unsuccessful implementation of one of the modules, we will appeal to buy some of them so we won’t

be behind schedule and continue with the central plan. That means cutting off a percentage of the salary.
