ok...that's the job of a CMS (Content Management System)

>> I have never used such a program, I use DreamWeaver, CoffeeCup HTML
>> editor, and an old version of TrellixWeb (now CuteSiteBuilder).

those create 'static' sites....a CMS is created dynamically (everytime)
through database calls based on the level of authentication of the
user/viewer.  There's a couple GREAT sites to give info and try each
site/system out:

http://www.opensourcecms.com/
http://cmsmatrix.org/

> I like Drupal and Joomla.

I'm a Xoops guy...but have been diggin Joomla lately (the backend system
is GREAT and has lots of professional eye-candy)...but use CMSMatrix.org
to choose the components/parts you want/need.

hope that helps - dave
