A User-Friendly Web Content Management System

This study applies two open source projects, namely PHP and MySQL, to create a powerful, user-friendly Web-based system for creating, maintaining and publishing a database comprising news information in the form of text and graphical images. The proposed system is specifically designed to enable non-technical users with no knowledge of computer programming, graphic imaging tools, or markup languages such as HTML to add new material to a Website or to modify the existing contents as and when required in an intuitive and real-time fashion. As a result, a technically competent Website management team is not required, and thus the cost and flexibility of the Website management process is significantly improved.
