I am trying to learn PHP, and am trying to create a website for the engineering company i work for. It will be essentially a portfolio with 'about the company' type info as well. My goal is to do it through wordpress with a custom theme to create a homepage menu that the owner has come up with (sketched idea at this point). It will be layout of different images of different jobs we have done that when clicked will take you to the page with those corresponding types of jobs. I know i could do this with HTML & CSS but id like to do it with PHP (if that makes any sense).

I always find when learning something new like this (language/software) that its much more about understanding the uses and limitations of whatever it is that is much more helpful than trying to learning all the individual commands or whatever one-by-one.

I know this probably sounds like a broad request, but anyone have any tips to start me off?

    if you do a Goole search for Wordpress create custom theme you'll find a good deal of instruction on how to build your own themes. Wordpress /PHP actually uses HTML and CSS to build it's pages and once you see how the parts are used you can build your own layout / design. Another point about this is that by building your own theme / design it doesn't get wiped out the first time you do an update for Wordpress.

    Like practically every single thing in life from preparing for the birth of your first child to the launch of your first business - it is CRITICAL to PLAN it properly. In this case, we are talking about a vision, what you wish to achieve and how you will look to achieve it.

    From a great platform you stand more chance of success.

    Also, big tip, do not try and reinvent the wheel. Don't bust a gut on some specific programming task when there may be hundreds of scripts out there that will do this all for and you only then need to tweak it to make it specifically appropriate to your needs.

    WordPress makes it easy to create pages and then link to them through the WYSIWYG editor. WordPress really makes it easy to do things without knowing HTML/CSS or PHP. Although it helps!
