Web Design: PSD to CSS, Part 4
by Joey at 3:00 pmUsing CushyCMS to generate content and manage the site Through a tutorial located on Nettuts.com, we can use CushyCMS’s service as a very basic Content Management System to include text and photos into a site. By going to CushyCMS.com, you sign up for the service and begin to include a specific web site. Once you upload all of your hosting login information and prepare to get the site ready, they provide you with the proper coding in order for it to work properly. The User Interface is relatively easy to use, so it will not be too difficult for most beginning to intermediate web designers. If you know the specific DIV in which you would like for the content to go, add the following code so that it connects to service and works properly:
<div class="cushycms" title="Main Content">
Now within, the CushyCMS window, you can add text and then save. Go to the website to ensure the text is updated.
To add photos, they must be uploaded to a specific address. In this particular case, I’ve added a photo into the Photobucket.com service, and linked it to the CushyCMS service. While this is only one of several CMS services available on the Internet, and by no means is it the best, but it provides quick and easy results for those just beginning to develop web sites. Also it allows the person or company that owns the site to manage the content themselves so the web designer doesn’t have to make small changes constantly.
