[Phpwm] My New Project

[Chris Allen]

Just thought I'd babble on a bit about my new project, as its the largest 
I've embarked on so far, and I'm using the Codeigniter framework to ease 
things a little. Forgive me in advance for waffling. :)
Its been done many times, but I'm making a flexible structure for a website 
for my own use. It consists of:

Front End - Semantic XHTML with a few divs for design flexibilty.
Back End -
User Admin, Product Admin, Contact Admin( with mailing functionality ) & 
page content admin.

This will give me the bones of a website package that I can tailor to suit a 
customers requirements. It should cover most types of site, from basic 
static to ecommerce sites.

In future I may add CSS skins and editable design elements, only time will 
tell!

This is because I aim to go freelance, and I need a bit of 'power on the 
hip'. My aims are to make it as expandible and future-proof as possible, cos 
I'm sick of rewriting the same stuff :)

A sensible approach don't you agree?
