Is Php better than Html...?
Basically I would say it is a matter of choice. Yes, I would really think about using Php when you want to run a Social network site or a blog site but in general you can get away with launching a Great Looking Html site. The trick in building a website is making sure that you know what you want and what you are willing to spend.
Most CMS site (Content Management Systems...Read more WIKI!) is usually built with Php code. The now popular Joomla and Wordpress cms scripts are best when you are regularly changing your content. With a Backend control panel it gives you must more control over your website. You essentially don’t need to know any coding to create a nice looking site. Also a nice extra feature is when you want to change the look and feel of your new site; you can just upload a template you downloaded from the internet. The drawback of this type of site is that it loads a fraction slower. The unique feature of Php is that it loads the whole script onto your computer. It then just has to download picture and module content from the host server.
HTML built site loads faster but in most cases it does not look that great. You normally get a plain basic text based site. I would choose this if you want an informative website. You can though look for a HTML website with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets ~ Read here WIKI!) which will improve the look hundred fold. Css tells the script the layout and size and placement of picture or scripts of the site, with this you can now add layer on the basic html site. The drawback is you need to have a general knowledge of html coding and if you don’t know how to do this you need to pay someone like a webmaster to make changes, which could be costly.
The best starting point is finding a GOOD HOSTING company which will avoid a lot of Hassel in the future. Then you need to decide if you want to attempt building your new website yourself or Pay someone to do it for you. Price might be a factor for you but remember do not be cheap on your site because this can affect your future sales if you end up with a site which really doesn’t do your business any justice. If you are not ready for this step, wait until you are in a position where you can afford this. Do your homework before you start. Look around on the web and see what other sites in the same industry look like and what content they have on their pages.
