[I BLAKEx I]

First I have a multigaming clan and was thinking about using IPBoard for my host. I would also like to point out that a buddy of mine just opened his own buisness and was wondering just how easy it is to manage an IPB hosted site without coding experience. First I have a couple of questions I hope to have answered.

1. Can I make my homepage/landingpage something other than the forums fairly easy (If so how)?

2. How easy is it to edit content on the IPB hosted site without coding experience, (If it's not that easy can you direct me to some tutorials)?


Those are all the questions I can think of for now. Oh...and I almost forgot you guys have some nice looking sites.

1. Yes, this is fairly easy. I'm sure there's documentation on it, but mostly just put it in its own folder (like /forums/ or something).
2. Content is extremely easy. If you're talking skinning, there's free skins out there. If you're talking about IP.Content, its ok, but takes some getting use to.

Anything else?

If you use a hosting account with IP.Content, you can set IP.Content to be the homepage of your account, and then edit the homepage in the ACP. If you have limited coding ability, your options for editing the homepage will of course be limited, but you could use the standard WYSIWYG editor you see here for topics and posts to edit the content in the ACP.
