dandoon96 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I want to make a website, probably using Microsoft frontpage, unlessy you suggest a much easier free programme to download.I want to include professional assets such as :- a commenting page on the website- a rating thing where people can rate photos and the top rated ones appear first- a programme that prevents people from stealing the photographsPLEASE help! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldld Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) You could just use WordPress. You'll probably find a plugin that can do the 2/3 of the things you mentioned. Otherwise you could put something together if you have some experience with PHP or another language.- a programme that prevents people from stealing the photographsThat is impossible, short of not displaying the photos at all. It can also be very frustrating for users so don't even bother. Edited August 12, 2012 by aldld Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well see, Wordpress has 2 options.The free version doesn't allow a lot of plugins anyway. So I suggest you shell out the money and go for the pro version. It can do EVERYTHING you've said and more. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any site will need hosting. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

unicornication Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) This rating / commenting stuff requires PHP (HyperText Preprocessor), you might be able to find a WordPress plugin to do this, but it's definitely not HTML. You 'can' make images non-copy-able, but that requires quite a bit of work, you can serve the image from within a dynamic cascading-style-sheet and have it show with a data:image/ base64 encrypted string. As to other programs: you could try Adobe Muse, or Xara for drag-n-drop webpages that are fully compatible in Chrome and IE.WordPress comes as a .zip file, you need to either upload the whole zip file over to your host's web-ftp panel, or via FileZilla, and unpackage it on the server, or, unpackage it on your computer, and upload all the files to the server in one go via FileZilla, though this almost always causes problems.To open .zip files, Windows (and Mac) can do this, but if you need some advanced functionality - go ahead and download WinZip - it basically has a free trial that runs forever.As to your earlier questions, yeah - WordPress is Open Source, and you can do whatever you want with it. Though, for others to see it, you definitely do need it to be hosted. Edited August 21, 2012 by unicornication Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, there is no way at all. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HayashiEsme Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Guess the only partial remedy is to watermark everything. I've seen "anti-theft" before, I just wish I remembered where I found the code Edited November 15, 2012 by HayashiEsme Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
