What coding languages are used for Lead Gen?

For the back end that is. All leads are captured on the front end through a form of some sort and put into a database? The business logs in and the leads from the database back end are displayed to them? What coding language is used to preform these functions?

Try looking around on Google. I'm sure you can find it pre-programmed!

Any language you like, really. The specifics of how it's coded aren't that important, beyond it being done properly.

A common example would be php and mysql, but there are many options available.

As far as languages go: PHP is going to be the most common, and cheapest to develop.. MySQL is going to be, again, the cheapest and easiest DB to implement..

As far as frameworks go: MVC is the most common type; in PHP, the popular ones are CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Symfony, etc. A framework is just a way to organize the PHP code language.

As ZDS said; google it and you'll find plenty of fully made scripts (code and DB structure already created) that will do everything you want and you'll just need to tweak design, etc. That way you don't have to pay a programmer to do it from scratch.

You may not even need a framework, depends on how complex your system gets.

Hope that helped,

Agree with this one, and given that you're obviously into marketing, this would probably be the best option.

You can use any other so-called server-side language as well - but it would be more expensive, and hardly with any benefits if you simply want stuff from form written to database.

PHP is a server-side language. What are you talking about?

Yes it is, never said it wasn't

Edited the grammar of my previous post to make it more obvious.

I tried to find that ... pretty much I wanted something that is already created for lead gen, just to handle the design mostly but ... It turned out I couldnt find anything that could work. Anyone find anything ?

I saw in another thread that they were looking for lead gen software or template or anything and they couldnt find anything either ...
