Hey all,
I want to create a database driven website to handle data of football matches. The size of the database would not be too huge. The number of pages will also be limited (10-20). Examples of pages would be like 'Highest Goals', 'League Standings' and so on. Basically the number of pages is low (more or less remaining the same), and its mainly the data that keeps growing. The pages would basically summarize the data and present it in the form of tables, graphs and charts.
My query is this:
What are the best platforms for me to undertake such a task? I know a bit of web designing using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But here I would need to use some server-side development. So more specifically my queries are this:
1> Are CMS such as Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal appropriate here? If yes, which do you suggest?
2> Is it better to build a custom website using PHP-MySQL?
3> I recently heard of Django. So Django or PHP-MySQL? What are the pros and cons?
I have tried to read up a lot on CMS, but I think there is an overdose of data comparing them on the web, leaving one confused. I am fine with developing from scratch, but I am just worried about the how easy/difficult it would be to manage security on a custom designed site.
Thanks for any inputs you could provide.
