Building a portal to connect to a database – where do I begin?

by dbfg . Updated 6 years, 12 months ago

Hi All,

I am looking for advice in building a web portal. I’m no expert in building websites at all, I’ve had very limited exposure to it in my time working in IT and I have worked with databases.

I’ve been asked by my company to create a portal that one of our clients can use to input data which we will read into a database. I have already set up the database, since I know how to do this. What I don’t know how to do is how to build the website and how to connect that website to the database I have created.

My database is a SQL server database, I created it using SSMS. I was originally going to use WordPress to create the website, but from what I’ve been reading WordPress only seems to work with MySQL and not SQL Server? Basically whatever website I create needs to work with SQL Server.

So what I want really is recommendations to build my website where I will be able to connect to my SQL Server database. Can anybody help?

Happy to provide more info if needed.

Thanks
