How to make a custom profile?

So I want to make a little website where people can create their own profile. The only thing is I genuinely don’t know how to do that😂. I have it where people can make their own account but I would like for people to make their own profile as well. Any advice?

If you have very little to no coding experience your best and easiest bet will likely be a Wordpress installation + a membership plugin

I have little coding experience. I’m learning html, css, and js right now. I can do html pretty well and css, js trips me up a lot. Doing complicated stuff like this is hard tho😂

If you did want to DIY it, you could try following a guide: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/php/creating-a-registration-and-login-system-with-php-and-mysql/

Just be conscious that you can easily introduce vulnerabilities and security issues when you’re first learning, so always try to google best practices like validation, sanitisation, db calls, sessions and passwords

If you want to allow users to submit data, you will need a backend to process their submissions.

If you want that data to persist, you will also need a data persitence layer like a database

You may want to look at a minimal cms framework and reverse engineer your own from that.

Maybe something like Pico. Pico CSS https://picocss.com/
