Wizard Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yes. From the sounds of it though, you should probably learn a lot more about web hosting/web design/CMS before you try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manish_kvs Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 well, i know html and web designing using flash. where can i learn cms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Consult the Oracle. Though you could probably get away with not knowing them, you'll also need to learn databases (like MySQL) and server side scripting (like PHP) if you want to radically customize your CMS. I can tell you off the bat that unless you're dedicated, you're not gonna get this done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Take a look at 'Softaculous' in your cPanel. It contains many different 'softwares' for making different websites - each one is pre-coded and most don't require any web-coding knowledge!

jje Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 thanks jje thanks wiz, you're right. well i'll try my best. If you seriously want to do this, hire a real developer. Even though you could pay for a developer to make a professional site, many services that a developer offers can already be added to your site for free using a CMS (or any other softwares in Softaculous).
