Hi,

Basically for Uni I'm required to create an online portfolio of all the bits and bats I've created (and am going to create in the future).

I'm familiar with HTML and CSS so making a layout for myself will be no problem, but ideally I would like to use some kind of CMS to make it easier to maintain.

All I would require the CMS to do is run in my design and let me add news post on the main page and update the projects section when I work on something new.

Has anyone attempted something like this before? If so, what CMS would you recommend (I'm not 100% used to PHP but I know how to set pre-made scripts up, so the simpler the better tbh).

Cheers in advance :)
 
hmm.

Been having a play around with a few CMSs, tried Word Press and a couple of others seems more complicated than I first thought.

I assumed you could just install it and change the theme with the CSS, but it looks to require more PHP knowledge than I anticipated.

All I want basically, is it create my site and have the ability to update 1 or 2 pages without having to go back to code.

Anyone any ideas? :)
 
You have to strip Wordpress down a bit to make it work as a CMS.

How about MODx? Install it, find a free template, stick your logo in and begin making pages.

Here's one I did for a local residents group -> http://www.cloughhall.co.uk . It uses MODx, and was straightforward enough to do .. no PHP programming necessary.
 
I'll take a look at that thanks.

I want to write my own template tbh, I wont get as high marks modifying someone elses.
 
Just installed MODx and even that is confusing me :p

Is it possible to make a static website then add a simple way to add news items into it?

gah this is really grating my head :(
