The previous post (with the tutorials) was mine. For some reason I was signed out...

why would you want a frontpage? when i build my site most users complained they had to click through the flashintro before getting to the content. www visitors are the most impatient customers you'll ever see, so make sure they get to the content asap.

anyway, i really love the site as it is...

rickg22:
by "front page" i mean a main page with menus where you can click to know more about codeblocks, go to the manuals, download... without having all these forum thingies around.

Hint: "Front page" != "splash page"

Well, my previous posts seem to be gone. Anyways..

I had some more time than I thought, so I've begun creating a new design. It isn't finished yet, but there isn't much work left either. (It's quite plain, based around rounded blocks (as in Code::Blocks..) with some discreet fades)

I could maybe create a drupal theme out of it, but personally (as I said in a previous post) I wouldn't use a cms, but a custom PHP system.

What do you think?

You asked if there was any suggestions about web hosting if you're going to change. I would look for PHP 5, because of its far superiour XML and OO features compared to PHP 4.

With PHP 5, I could create a powerful yet simple system based on XML/XSLT, but that would be almost impossible with PHP 4 because of its poor XML functionality.

But of course, it depends on what you want. I can just give you the design and let you use it however you want if you wish.

No problem. We 're not after a CMS anyway. It's just easier for people to contribute, if we use a CMS. If you think you can make a PHP site without a CMS, that's fine with us.

Thanks a lot,
Yiannis.
