Hey guys, just a quick one for you.
So my wife has just started a small interior design business. Her business is starting to pick up so its time I build her a website. The only issue is she wants to be able to submit photos and write articles/ blog on it as well.
So I’m mostly ok with building the front end and can probably set up a bit of the back end as well. The only thing I am not sure about is setting up some kind of “article submission bit” for her post her own articles and photos to the blog portion of her site. Can someone point me in the right direction with this? I’d like to avoid wordpress if possible but the only problem is I well be traveling for work for about 60 days in the next few weeks, no internet access, and won’t be able to submit stuff for her via just html/css/js. Not really sure how to word this question for google so here it is, thanks in advance! @kevinSmith tagging you here since we’ve been chatting lately, any ideas?
It’s really hard to say without knowing more about what your skill levels as. It also depends on exactly what she wants. You want to get this up in the two weeks before you leave?
WP would certainly be fastest. Other than that, there are services that can do basic b/e type stuff. You can look at installing a content management system (CMS) that will let your wife manage her stuff, if she’s not tech savvy enough to do it manually.
Another option would be to get a WP site up and running for here and then when you get back, see if you can replicate it on your own.
Thanks man I will look in the the CMS stuff, currently quarantined with her being a possible case so I may have the time to figure that bit out. If not wordpress till I get back.
Semi random but thought it was worth saying. Put in my two weeks today, no sea. Moving back home to Memphis to help my wife develop her business, take a local bootcamp to make some connections and learn some of the local preferred stack while getting as much out of FCC as I can, and pursing this career path for real. I am all in and could not be more hyped. Gotta be reckless while I am young in the middle of a pandemic lol. I considered firehouse project as a back up up option but that’s more of a last resort. I am going for it.
Cool, best of luck. And just a word of warning - it can often take longer and is harder to get that first job than a lot of people realize. Yes, it can be done, for sure, but there are a lot of people out there screaming about how easy it is. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
No worries man, I am taking time to dedicate to my learning. I know it could be anywhere from 6months-2 years to find a gig. I fortunately have side work and or other jobs I could hop in back home in the mean time.
Since I am not going to sea do you think you could point me in the right direction as far as setting up my wifes blog goes?
Still semi new to JS and I am trying to avoid having to manually enter everything on a single html doc unless that’s the proper way of going about it? Just feel like after a while that could be a lot of lines of code or many pages to manage. I am still open to CMS or word press for the blog portion if I need to do that, but I assume there’s a more proper way I could go about it while learning a bit of back end/ database tidbits. Anyways, thanks again for all your help man hopefully I don’t pester to much 
. You have been a ton of help and encouragement!

Sorry, no.

No, that would be a nightmare. Usually you’re going to use some kind of templating engine (pug, ejs, handlebars) or some view library (React, Angular, Vue). Those allow you to compartmentalize code.
If you have to ask that question, you’re probably not ready to right a blog, at least not on the professional level that your wife will want. My advice would be to set her up on WP, get her settled with what she likes, then keep learning and eventually write your own version of the blog.

That’s why we’re here, to help the community.
Just thought it best to clarify
Was answered with this.
This was what I was trying to ask about, just didn’t know how to word it or what pieces were missing.
Yea your right, probably not there just yet but I would at least like to start reading up a bit in my downtime of focusing on java script, just to see how things play together. Thanks for the help man!
