I have been asked to help to maintain a non profits website because I have created & maintained websites before. But they were using non coded websites, such as homestead. I liked using homestead because once created, it was easy for me to turn it over to another person to maintain, even those without prior experience in websites & they could learn with easy instructions from me or homestead. ( such as changing out pets on a weekly basis in the shelter, or updating the upcoming events. I have been asked to help with a website from another non profit, no pay, dont mind that, but the current website is in code. I have no experience in using code & would have to learn it to do the updates needed. Anyone still creating websites in code? if so, how hard was it to learn if you didnt know beforehand, any suggestions for books or instructional DVDs? I have seen HMTL for Dummies, & windows makes an instructional book-dvd also. Would like opinions because I do want to do this for them.
Also what is the advantage of using code? Is there more security in it? If there is no advantage to it over using a product like homestead which has all the bells & whistles that I have seen in websites anywhere, perhaps I can talk them into starting over with a non coded website to make it easier to do updates by us non coded peeps. So what is ya'lls experience? Want to know what I am talking about before I suggest a non coded version.
Thanks so much
