    Hi everyone, I'm a language teacher, which means no programming or coding skills, but eager to learn. I've spent the past day or two learning on how to create a website, domains, hosting and all that and there are a lot of tutorials on how to use WordPress and plug-ins like the Elementor which is quite easy to use and doesn't require much coding knowledge. Most of them focus on how to make stuff pretty and I got that part. What do I need to use to create a database, so that people can register and then they get assigned an educational package based on their choosing or a diagnostic test. My web-page won't be that much complicated regarding graphics, but I am going to use a lot of layers, and it would be great if a person could log-in and continue where he stopped, if the page tracked his results, etc. Could somebody point me in the right direction, which tools do I need to use? Are there any tools like WordPress for this type of programming?

      I would suggest you make use of the Wordpress helpline, as they are best placed to advise you what tools are available for your specific needs. They may well have some off the shelf back end system which would provide for your database needs, without you needing to hire a database programmer to do it for you.

        I have never used Wordpress before so I could be wrong. If I understand correctly, MySQL is the core of Wordpress so you already have a database, you will have to find a plugin to save your data to the database, I have found one on google but you will have to pay for it. You can do it yourself but it will require you to learn PHP and SQL. Have a look at this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms/\]

          Hey, you need to do a great deal of research before designing an app, especially when it comes to educational apps. Since child studies and knowledge entirely depend on it. Also, make sure that you have a safe storage database where the student can keep their notes or task. You can add cartoons and vibrant colours for young kids, and may be a professional look with subtle shades for corporate learners. The database part I would say try a good hosting domain like godaddy. If all this feels troublesome, there are several Enterprise Application Development Services that offer affordable solutions and hosting domains. Since it's an educational application I believe it's quite complicated, therefore opt for affordable solutions.

            To create and maintain a computer database, you need a database program, often called a database management system, or DBMS. Just as databases range from simple, single-table lists to complex multi-table systems, database programs, too, range in complexity.
