I need to create a simple site with login and paypal links
I have been doing simple web design for years. Just simple and clean sites and manual coding HTML, never got used to the GUI programs.
I now have been asked to create a site similar to this - http://www.hfalert.com/
With a customer/client login, payment via paypal is all. And it would be very similar, members would have access to documents/mostly pdfs and needs to be secure.
What is the easiest way to set this up?
I tinkered with PHP a little, and could spend more working with it and MySQL.
Thanks so much

Hi Werner
Between Drupal and Joomla, which would you say is easier to manage and setup.
I think I will go that route.
Thanks

Hi WPC479,
Joomla used to be very popular, because easy to setup. However, I would rather look at drupal, because my feeling is that the community is very active, and I believe that Drupal is one step ahead.
Both community feel very responsible for security. On this topic, bear in mind that when you install any third party module, security flaws may come from the module. In other words, most of "Joomla!" security "alerts" are in fact linked to security issues from a specific "third party" module, not Joomla itself. On the other hand, there are thousands of third parties modules availables...
Rgds,
