Hey folks! I'm looking for some guidance on how to incorporate a database into my website. I can handle the HTML and CSS styling, but I want to store all the key details—like event titles, dates, times, descriptions, and guest counts—in a database instead of hardcoding them on every page. This is for a fundraising site with multiple parties, each having its own unique info. Any suggestions on which database or coding language would work best for this? Thanks for your help!

For a project like yours, I'd recommend using PHP with SQLite. It's pretty straightforward, easy to learn, and should be quick to implement for what you need!
I haven't used static page builders much, but I've heard you can generate web pages from files like CSVs. That might be a simpler way to go if you're looking to avoid database complexity. You just upload the file, customize your HTML/CSS, and it generates the pages for you. If anyone else has experience with this, I'd love to hear more!
Yeah, it sounds similar to how CSV files populate product listings in online stores!
