Is site designing really tough?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. jassics (144) 3 years ago

I think if people know basics of HTML and CSS then then one can design good sites.
but in recent technological era most of the popular or professional site is based on CMS.
Most popular CMSes are DRUPAL, JOOMLA which is based on PHP,MYSQL which is the basic need to make a dynamic website other than HTML and CSS.
For blog purpose people use wordpress as i did in my site http://www.sanjeevjaiswal.com

i used drupal for making dynamic site which is secured and good looking is http://www.soecusat.com

one simple site made by me when i was learning HTML and CSS is http://www.jassics.110mb.com

In short i wish to convey the message that if you are willing to good looking website with minimum effort then choose some already made softwares or you wish to learn codings then start from the scratch but one can get many ideas from these softwares. so just have a look and try out to make your own site

hey friend it has so many limitations.
i am asking that if you know html, css, php and mysql or many more web designing languages then making a site is not tough.
although making a secure site and giving professional look is bit tough but for that CMS is there which means content management system.
There are so many free webhosting sites which will host your domain name where you can put ur pages which you wish to display over internet.

I am using drupal (CMS- just google for it). Its full featured and very popular PHP based framework for making good looking websites in few hours.
check my site http://sajeevjaiswal.com
its again based on wordpress . If already so many softwares are there for making such a nice site then one should use it i guess.

Hi Jassics, nice topic to discuss here friend.
In my oppinion, just know HTML/CSS/XML/Javascript/PHP/AJAX/SQL or any other web techonology is not the garantee you are a good web designer&developer.
In fact, there are 3 main focused areas in web development: Design, Programming and Content.

To be an expert in those 3 areas is really difficult. So, commonly you will find good professionals with knowledge in just one of those areas and a few domain of others.

Regarding the use of CMS to develop websites, I think they are a good option when you have to develop a project quickly and your customers want a low cost/manutention project. I have to mention that, when you look to a Drupal or Joomla portal, rarely you will not realize that because all of them have the same layout and styling! Even wordpress, which is very easy to customize, you find the same looking in almost all websites based on that solutions.

I also checked your websites. Congratulations! Still improving your techniques.

thanks aferreira385!
You are right at your every words. see versions of every software and programming laguages rules are getting changes time to time so you have to be uptodate in that sense also. If you want your themes and you want to make website such that it would the same what you wish to do then you have to be very good coder and it will take long time to make bug free site.
BUt due to CMS or blogging software without any difficulties you can concentrate on the content and you can try to make your site more interactive and popular by working on contents instead of working on themes , templates etc.
Thanks for visiting my site , if you wish you can share your technical stuffs there. just register and start blogging might be after one year we can be very popular blogger and site may be very popular . I will upload all my notes and lal there. hope to see u then

If you know html and css thoroughly then you can make any site. Designing site is easy if you have good knowledge about technology.

Yes it is VERY tough!

HTML and CSS is not enough to make an excellent website. You need to know how to design one, meaning using Photoshop or such. Photoshop is the design of your website, html and css are just the coding. You cant really "design", per say, a website with html and css besides colors and tables and etc...
