Why am I so excited? Automatic Website Builder from Existing Database!

[ecomindia]

Why am I so excited?
In 2008, I initiated a development of a web based Database to Website Tool but due to much involvement and requirement in my current job, I abandoned the project after 12 days of development.
Now, In 2010, I had given 2 complete days (this weekend) and have made it functional and running.

So, where the thought came from?
Every day or rather I should say frequently, we do get database or buy list of say Recipes, Companies, Jokes, just anything that is provided to us in Excel, Access, MS-SQL, My-SQL, Text.
Once we get it, we just keep thinking, what to do with it? Shall I create a site for it? How much will the developer take? How much time will it take? Maintaining of websites on day-to-day basis? Just too much of thinking… isn’t it?

Providing solution in 3 simple steps!
Step 1:
Any database that I get, irrespective how many columns, how many records it has, I import it to Access Database (SQL will also do, once I complete this project)
Step 2:
I register a domain that can be used to host a website to use the database and point the DNS (name server) to the hosting space where the database and web files are stored.
Step 3:
In Separate Database, I add the details of this website i.e. Domain Name along with Title, keywords, Description, Database Name, Table Name, Logo Name, AdSense Code (all formats), and few other technical configurations.

Ready to Run Website!
The Header - Top section of the website will display 728 x 15 Google ads
The Header - Middle section displays the Logo, Website Name and 728X90 Google ads
The Header – Bottom section displays the Website Punch Line
The Middle – Left Section contains “Automatic Search Engine”. This Search engine is provided with a text box to search the database (website), with the option to search all the available fields in the database.
The Middle – Bottom Section contains the search box displaying Google AdSense 160 X 60 ad.
The Right Section – If homepage, will display the random 50 records. If anything is searched or any record is clicked on the page, the details of the record are displayed.
The Bottom Page – Contains the links to various other websites, links and footer
So, going forward, I will just buy a database, and add it to the configuration database ….. and that’s it!


What's Next?
But my goal is to make it totally automated, many more features to be added!
RSS Feeds, News, Features and Widgets to be integrated
The configuration panel to Automate for OTHER USERS to add their website details!!!
So vision is to extend this tool to others as well!!
This is just a beginning…. !

Few Sample Websites:

AmericaHotelFinder.com
SearchingApartment.com
HairCareUS.com
ContactRestaurant.com
OnlineRecipe.org
OnlineLyrics.org
BoozeRecipes.com
Import.Net.in / Importer.Net.in / Exporter.net.in
Company.net.in
IndianFestivals.net
Joke.net.in
Quotes.net.in
Thought.net.in
Feed.net.in

These are the websites for which I had the database, and developed it!!
Please do review how u find it to be ? Critics & Suggestions always welcome!
I think, the best way to pass the week-end watching matches & movies by side

HI

I could be interested in such a script that would allow a domain owner make a website from a database they buy, like a mysql db etc... but it would have to be simple for database own put it online in to a working website... Is your system hard to get up and running.

Totally agree with that!
As i mentioned, the whole thought process is for serving it to the end-users
Currently, every configuration is done at the backend.

That is - Adding a domainname and meta details, adsense codes, logo,

This will be my target in coming days ... month!!

But do give me your review by reading through the details and visiting the websites mentioned in the quote on how it is working/

Thanks once again for your valuable time!!
