Wanting To Start Community Site For Fashion Advice...Best Way To Start? email this discussion to a friend?

dovinea (58)   ranked 81 out of 167 in website designing8 months ago

Hello!
I have been trying to set up a site for the past few months that will allow users to create an account so they can add articles to the site. I understand I need a content management program (I assume), but I'm not sure which program to go with. I have used Joomla in the past and ended up getting so frustrated with all of the steps required just to get the site up and going, I gave up.
Is there an easier option? A way to start a site like this without a huge investment of time and money? How would you go about setting a site like this up? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Alot will depend on your budget. Check out techmeridian.com for hosting with content management. Another site is web-widgets.net which also you have to pay for.

I would probably go for siteground.com as I think that their CMS hosting is exactly what you are looking for. They offer Joomla hosting aswell as Drupal and Mambo. They are reasonably priced aswell. Hope this helps you.

I think you're right about siteground. I'm going to check into Mambo and the others they offer to see if they may be a bit less frustrating than Joomla.
Thanks so much for the help!

Hi,

There's probably a few different ways you could go. I'd either use something like a wordpress blog (people can register and post articles for themselves) or even something like a forum (easy to set up etc) a lot will depend on whether you are willing to pay for hosting - probably best in the long run as it gives you control.

Or, if you have your own hosting - there's plenty of free (or paid) article site scripts you could download and use. That way you just set it up and people register to submit their articles etc.
