Modular Web Site
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 7:52 am
I'm planning a web site which I think should be modular. I say 'modular' although I don't actually know if that's the right description.
At the centre of the site will be a login area for users to manage their details, site preferences and other general user admin stuff.
The site is for artists so I will also build a gallery manager.
In addition to this core functionality, I want to be able to create add-ons. I have an idea of what I want for the launch. I also have future ideas for a later date but I also want to cater for ideas I haven't had yet.
An example module may be a CV section. Create a CV, email it, download as PDF etc or maybe add a basic blogg.
I can manage to wedge this functionality in as I think of it, but I like the idea of creating these as stand alone apps that integrate into the main site. This makes it easier to outsource too.
Where can I find out about doing this, are there rules I need to follow? I've read this post viewtopic.php?t=17430&highlight=design+modular but I got a bit lost in it...
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed.
