I've been in IT business for long time. Back then you have to pay a lot of money for Professional website. Pay tons of money to web developer. It's not true anymore. You can do it for 0$ and I'll show you how.
You must have computer skills thought :). If you do please enjoy rest of article. If don't ... you can also enjoy this article :).
First you need to think about what you want to do with you website. Here's what I need to have on OfficeForLess.org:
- Blog (Articles and Tips)
- Community (Fun)
- Reviews & Directory (Advise)
- Forum (Opinions exchange)
I'll use Joomla CMS because it can do all of this. It's very powerful CMS (Content Management System). Best part of it - it's FREE. Joomla has thousands components, modules and plug-ins. So you can do almost "everything" with it.
Let's take a look again how I can accomplish my goal:
- Blog (Joomla itself)
- Community (JomSocial - Social Network component for Joomla). Not Free but you can use Community Builder instead and it's Free.
- Reviews (JReviews - Reviews & Ratings for Joomla. Very Very powerful component. That why it not free ether.). Joomla itself has rating system plus here's a lot of Free Reviews Components for Joomla.
- Forum (Kunena - Free forum for Joomla)
So next step would be setup. I'll talk about it tomorrow. Right now I need to spend some time with my family :)
