Building up an intranet

Hi, all,

I am a marketing manager in a small company. We have around 50 computers here.

I know how to work in HTML (either code or Frontpage or DreamWeaver) and a little Javascript. I can also create basic graphics and animations. However, I'm not an expert in programming.

Since we have no budget for buying services for someone to develop an intranet platform for us I would like to ask you if I could use the same principles for creating a webpage for creating by myself one. We have here a mail server and a network that unites all computers (I'm not sure of its structure).

Can you help me with some advice? If I create a webpage (I do not want something complicated, with a user interface or databases, just plain HTML and Javascript) can I use that as an intranet and how can I upload it to our server? What other things should I know?

Thanks in anticipation! Best!
 
download a leatest version of wamp and follow the steps for installation, and then start the application, or else download the latest version of myphp and install it and run it, both of them will install mysql database and apache server , start the application with recommended settings and your intranet is ready for use...
for using interaction between user and your site php will be the thing you should learn, appart from that mysql knowledge will be handy..
if you want a database to be included on your site , you should know how to setup a content management system, i preffer joomla for cms with lots of templates to chose from. you can get joomla here
joomla tutorial will help with your all the other question's .. you will find it somewhere on its home page....
any questions you are wellcome ...
 
Thank you, wandhanster,

I will try some of that. however, I only want plain HTML. Do I need php and apache for that? I would only like to upload some files for others to downolad. I know u can do that in html... I could use your help.

Regards.
 
well to execute php scripts u need to have a server, php is a crossplatform language and easy to learn, and if you are seriously looking for user interaction between your web page then you have to have some grip on it, if you are not planning to get into too much of scripting then there are many websites which will help you create a online form submission through simple steps and online wizards, google on the topic. cuz i have the link but its misplaced in my unsorted inbox... post u latter.
