MINI CMS
This is one of my earliest projects—a custom-built CMS (Content Management System) for a blogging platform. Created in 2019 with PHP, it showcases both frontend and backend work, with the main focus on backend development.
"Crafted for Content—A Secure Blogging Platform Powered by PHP."
After the relative success of my first website, www.danguba.net, built in WordPress, my next step was to create my own mini CMS—something I could offer to local bloggers, who were highly popular at the time. This project allowed me to experiment with backend systems while also refining my frontend development skills.
This site was developed in PHP, with a strong emphasis on security and input validation. The most time-consuming aspect was implementing safeguards to ensure data integrity and prevent vulnerabilities. A key challenge was enabling authors to elevate their roles to Editors, granting them the ability to add content directly to the platform. At the same time, Administrators retained control to approve submissions before publication. Since content was sent directly to the database, additional validation layers were implemented to maintain data consistency and security.
Although the project has been offline for a while, I’ve included a link below to the archived version of the site.
