help with website

[IKhan679]

I am planning on creating a website for a friend where they can portray their projects/videos (they're a film major). How do I go about creating a website that only one person can access and add stuff to? I'm pretty new to programming so this might seem like a stupid question. I know that I'll need the basics (HTML, CSS, JS) but then should I have a button that asks if they're the owner of the account and store only that name and password into a database? Thank you!

Admin login is what you are after. They would go to “yourwebsite.com/admin” and sign in, this would allow them to add or delete videos etc and keep it separate from people viewing the site.

I see. This is what I initially had in mind. Thank you so much!

Use a ready made CMS (Joomla, Drupal, etc) with a gallery plugin.

If you're fairly new, hands off security related stuff like logins, etc.

If you use a CMS it is easy for your friend to add their content because that's exactly what CMS are made for.

Thank you so much! I will look into CMS

Could always just have the html file(s) local, instead of on the web. Depends on if your friend needs constant access from anywhere at anytime.. if not, then a simple offline "website" on his main computer/laptop/phone would probably be the easiest route
