Incorporate member login/register to my sitw?

[Adam]

Hi i am building my own website which needs a member registration and log in system which would create individual profile pages. The software im using is xara mx web design premium if anyone knows anyway to help me out with this that would be much appreciated. Also i am very uneducated with scripts which is why im using xara thank you.
So are we saying that I should learn scripting as a priority? Because if that's what it takes then that's what I'll do I don't think I'm in over my head at all though I believe I can do this with a little guidance I do appreciate your answers thank you for getting back to me

unfortunately you are probably in over your head.

to build a member registration / login / profile pages requires one of three things

using a platform like wordpress and finding the plugins that will accomplish what you want

or---learning to write code such as html/css/js/php and build databases with mysql

or getting someone to write it for you

fwiw...if you bought that software you are using, you could have had someone hand you a really nice themed prebuilt WP site that all was required was to upload and unzip, then customize it for about the same money

If that editor you are using is a simple HTML editor, you would need to add another level of sophistication to get that member info stored on your server, usually involving a mysql database on a Linux server. You might find an offshore programmer who can get it working for not too much money, possibly for $5 on Fiverr.com or more likely a freelancer on odesk.com, elance.com or vworker.com.

Yea Wordpress is used for some 15% of the top 1 million web sites, though blog platform, the countless custom themes and plugins allow you to create a site tailored to your needs without programming. (It's a Content Management System (CMS) saving your live online edits in a database.)
