I’m just a few days into testing Wappler and forgive me because I haven’t done web development since the 2000’s(unless you call Shopify or ServiceNow web development-I used to be heavily into php/postgresql). Is Wappler on its own good enough for designing low code login pages-like legit serious production sites? It’s a big question for me as it’s one reason I left web development back 20 years ago. I just didn’t feel things were secure enough. For example there are a million tutorials on how to create a php login page but would you trust them for a web app that’s storing 1000’s of credit cards and ssn’s? I don’t. Personally I don’t want to be responsible(I hope you get what I mean here) and it’s not my specialty to try and keep something as a login page secure. I’d rather have a community breaking and revising it as time goes on instead of that burden on me, just a one man show. I think that would be responsible for any developer?? Does Wappler provide this? Or it it a matter of using Wappler plus other php page templates out there from from a popular GitHub project for example? Is this why people rely on frameworks? Am I asking dumb questions, lol? Please help me get caught up to speed in this area.
Hello @willee
Four years ago, my path to Wappler was much like yours, even with the stepping away from web development for over a decade. Since I was relearning everything I left comfortable PHP/FTP with multi-hosting to VPS/Docker/NodeJS/javascript/Github/Bootstrap. It was painful to this old brain. But I'm glad I did.
Wappler is javascript centric. Just accept it and know that if you stay with PHP, your experience may very. There is a LARGE PHP support system here be assured of that.
Here are the tools that got me over the same question your asking:
- Understand what the system has: Setting up Site Security Settings
- Login - Create a Working User Login Page
- Applying Security to your NodeJS pages
- Wappler Documentation - Logout - Create a Working User Logout Button
- Thanks always to @Hyperbytes & @ben for the tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xrg4EUMRIQ or the whole series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUjqTJN3byC9fUoXFnoNGlYBCBZOJUPca
- Dealing with the hiccups:
a. Need updated process for documentation of Login - Create a Working User Login Page - #13 by Dave
b. Security Restrict-ing Access To Logged In Pages...not "Restricting" - OAuth Docs
In the end, Wappler (and/or AI assistant) can help you create the security you desire
Thank you. I’ll take a look at all the info you suggested. I appreciate it.
Wappler can be used to build secure, production-grade websites, but it's also easy to make mistakes.
You're a junior developer at this stage (your real web dev interaction was 20 years ago), no one would out a junior in charge of website security 
Once you dominate Server Actions, Server Connects, browser developer tools network tab and server-side rendering (NodeJS specific) you're likely capable of building a secure Wappler website
