New site building


Question

Hello.I've to build a new site.It'll not be a blog,or a news site,rather a general one,say like Yahoo! perhaps.

I've already got a name and registered it on a host.Everything's ready,now all I need is a good site builder.People suggested Drupal/Joomla but I see they're CMS,whereas I'm not going for a blog,or a forum.

My subscription comes with a Plesk sitebuilder.Should I use that?Will that suffice and be easier to use?Please help me out.

Thanks.

Plesk site builder isn't powerful enough to create what you want, what you want, however, I'm not sure of.

Yahoo.com is made up of a number of different sections that could each be separate websites in their own rights. I never use yahoo for anything, but judging from their homepage, they do search, email, news, weather, messenger, dating etc. There is no such thing as a "general site". All websites have a purpose of some kind. Yahoo split their purposes up into clearly defined sub-sites. So, before we can advice how to best make your website, you have to tell us; What do you actually want to do?

Kind of like an web-based tweekdeck?

I don't know if there is an open source system that does that sort of thing. You'd probably have to get something custom made.

Well,just to take a hypothetical use,say it should allow the user to login to my site,and he'll have a deck/panel where he might see a snapshot of his facebook/linkedIn etc. page,be able to view the updates and so on.

If he wishes to move over to these sites,he can navigate to those.Maybe for reference,a feature like they have in Flock,where the user,if logged in,can view his facebook,updates or feeds as and when they happen.

Need to develop something on that front.

Thus wanted to know what kind of builder to go with.

Own site builder,or have someone build a custom one?Um..no,I don't think that's something I can go with.Been hearing great things about Drupal,maybe that's the one to go with.

Then again,they say Joomla is great too,with Plesk however,I'd get help and support.
