Hi Everyone,

This is my first post here - and it looks like a nice little community you have. I feel right at home.

I am currently working on a web project for a mortgage company, for a friend. I am just doing a simple site, and need to add a few pages with forms and login info. I need to learn how to create a simple form page, where a question would be in the field, and the viewer could type in their information in the field and it could be sent to a specific email. It will be like an online credit application. I also need to learn how to create simple accounts, where usernames and passwords would be used and the user could login and have a little account. It doesn't need to be advanced. I only need it to recognize certain types of people. For instance, if Joe logged in as a "Manager" then a certain page would come up for "Managers"... Also, a simple contact and feedback pages would be needed.

I have never dealt with any of this stuff, and have moderate experience with web design. I can create simple sites using Rapidweaver, CSS, DW, Flash, etc. etc.

Is there a simple way to create these types of pages? With everything out there these days there has to be an easy walk through program!! If anyone can help out, please do. I don't need to get too involved, just need to get this done and hopefully learn something valuable. Thank you all.

Yes, those sorts of things are fairly simple, but you don't have the time to sit down and learn server side programming (like PHP and MySQL). Try CMS Made Simple - www.cmsmadesimple.org - (combined with the FrontEndUsers and CustomContent modules). It'll be much faster if you use a CMS - more are available at www.opensourcecms.com
