So... you need to set up a database. What is your question exactly? — jmargolisvt, Jul 16 '18 at 18:04

@jmargolisvt and do it have to use Javascript for fetching the data from my database? — remy boys, Jul 16 '18 at 18:06
SO is explicitly _not_ for helping people find resources or make opinionated choices. Reddit or Quora is a better place for this question. — jmargolisvt, Jul 16 '18 at 18:07

The question is quite broad but I'll try to explain it briefly. For making a website with dynamic content, you need to have a database (mysql for example) which will store your articles.

You'll need to have a server (ex apache) & You'll then have to code (in PHP, Python, C# etc) which will handle a user's request. When a user open's your webpage, the request goes to your apache server, it then executes the appropriate code (an example task of a php code could be fetch articles from the database) and return a response to the user.
