All,
I'm currently researching a better way to build websites (I work for a small
web-dev shop) and was hoping someone here could give me some opinions.
We're currently using Dreamweaver as our main tool, and though I love the
program itself, we want to break free from Dreamweaver templates. I have
been writing PhP now for a good 5 months, and feel VERY comforatable with
the language, and we currently use a combination of Dreamweaver templates
with PHP includes. So basically, we'll include 'htmlheader()' type functions
to build the page on the fly using PHP functions.
My question really is regarding the value of dogging the DW Templates all
together. If I can call all PhP functions for the page builds, and even
write the side navigation based on pageIDs - is it worth taking the next
step and building JUST PhP pages? I know the advantages of PhP, and know the
disadvantages and advantages of DW Templates, but what are the disadvantages
of building ALL of our pages in JUST PhP and freeing ourselves from the DW
Templates? Am I getting into more complications with a move like this?
Thanks in advance.
