More than you wanted to know
A website page is constructed with different languages & code, which is then rendered in your browser.
- xHTML - structure & content
- CSS - layout & styling
- JavaScript - manipulation & effects
- PHP - management & backbone
Correctly combining the best functionality from each creates the look, features and interactivity of your website.
Content Management System
I use MODx, a CMS, for nearly all the sites I design.
Some of the key benefits to clients are:
- Easily edit your website from anywhere via your web browser.
- Regularly add/delete/edit news items to keep your site fresh.
- Upload your files directly to create a visitor downloads page.
- Create automatic galleries by simply uploading your images.
These features are accessed via your web browser from any location and give you access to the intuitive built in editing tools.
Custom coding
Quite a bit of my time is spent custom coding MODx / Wordpress features for designers.
More info is available on the Modx & Wordpress page.
