Manuel Alejandro Matus de Quevedo
Courses Plus Student 6,407 PointsI would like to know whats the best way to build a knowledge base website
This website will have to be updated frecuently, and it's for work porpuses to upload files, articles, FAQ's and so much more information. I would like to know if I need to use a MySQL database or something like that to store the information.
There won't be any login information for now, but in the future that will have to be something to think about.
I would like to know what languages, besides HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP I will have to use for this.
Your feedbacks will be really appreciated.

Have a look at Rainbird - a company local to me and set up by people I know (and they're very, very clever people!!)

Unless you absolutely need a custom piece of software, you might be better off going with an off-the-shelf solution.
