Hi, Even if it's just a site don't thing u don't need a structure to it. Why not a MVC structure? U can dig about cakephp on google to see some of it working. If U don't want to use a framework, start with the business rules u'll need, after that do the CRUD and for the piece of resistance assemble the html for it. :) On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 3:34 PM, Raido <raido.aasoja@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > There are many sites explaining how to build new site etc but I'd like to > hear what You suggest.
