How To Make A Portal?

 


jipmerite
How do I go about making my own portal such as Facebook or GainPals ?

Is there a Software that I can use or do I have to hire a programmer?

How much bandwidth would I need?

to make such a huge project you need first a lot of time.
About the software, no, there is not such software. I do recomend you using a strong web editor, such as dreamweaver.
You also need to know about some serverside language, like php. And you need to know a good deal of CSS and javascript to make all the nice effects and stuff they do...

If you are thinking of creating something like that, first get some people to help you, and then look for an open-source project similar to what you are expecting to do.

luck! Very Happy

Yes, you will require programmers and other software engineers. Don't expect that the website will just appear after a few days. Most of those sites like facebook took a very large amount of work/time to get set up.

Yes I realise it will take time to make and time to for the site to grow. And probably i won't be able to beat those sites at this game. But it would be fun to have a small site like that with my friends.

I just need some guidance on how to start.

Information like where can I get such a programmer and how much would it cost?

Your question is a little unclear. Do you mean how do you create a portal from scratch coding it all, or how do you set up a portal?

If it's the former, then yes you will need programmers.

If it's the latter, you might want to look at something like Joomla, PHPBB or something similar. Go for PHPBB if you're looking for forum software, or Joomla if you want a customisable portal with tons of features that you can download and install. If you want help setting something like this up, I'll give you a hand for 20 Frih$.
