[NTLUG:Discuss] Website design questions

[David Simmons]

I'd say - start with those that have already invented the wheel.  What I
mean by that is using some of the CMS (Content Management Software) suites
that already have alot of the work done for you.  Then by customizing a free
theme, you're must quicker to a good looking solution then 'rolling one by
hand'

You might consider:  http://wordpress.org/   has a great Docs/learning area
here --> http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress

<http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress>or maybe
http://www.joomla.org/

<http://www.joomla.org/>or if you really want the best; check out:
http://www.pmwiki.org/  (our own NTLUGer!?)

just a thought,
