Many thanks for all the replies. Just to clarify, with limited understanding of all the above:
What seems to be the general opinion is for php to be used server side and for js as browser side. However, it seems it is possibly more time efficient to use an application (which has made good use of these web development languages with ready made functions) and then to change/add any neccessary coding, dependent on requirements of the job or limitations of these applications with pre-built functions. Have i got that right in my head?
So i suppose when it comes to contracting any work out and finding a developer, i would need to check they have experience in applications that make use of PHP/JS (such as wordpress), but then are capable enough to write raw code in PHP/JS should i need my website to do something specific that wordpress can not offer. Have i got this right in my mind?
Also other than what we have been discussing above, can you please advise if i should be asking something else when it comes to choosing someone to work with on website development? Other than the obvious such as having a good rapport!
Thanks again for all your help

NAME
Mason::Manual::Setup - Setting up Mason
SETUP
Web development
The most common use of Mason is to generate dynamic web content.
Poet is a web framework designed specifically to work with Mason. Given an HTTP request, Poet generates a corresponding Mason request, and
uses the output from Mason to form the HTTP response. Poet takes care of the web development details that are outside of Mason's domain,
such as server integration and configuration. Poet::Manual::Tutorial shows how to set up a Poet/Mason site in great detail.
Mason can also be used in the popular web frameworks Catalyst and Dancer, as a drop-in replacement for their default template engines. See
Catalyst::View::Mason2 and Dancer::Template::Mason2.
Non-web development
Mason can be used to generate any kind of dynamic content. I have personally used it to generate Apache configuration files, emails, and
C++ code.
To use Mason from a script or library, use the Mason::Interp API:
my $interp = Mason->new(
comp_root => '/path/to/comps',
data_dir => '/path/to/data',
...
);
my $output = $interp->run( '/request/path', foo => 5 )->output();
If you want to process a directory with a mix of Mason templates and static files, check out Any::Template::ProcessDir.
To try out Mason syntax from the command line, use the mason script:
% mason
2 + 2 = <% 2+2 %>
^D
2 + 2 = 4
LOGGING
Mason uses Log::Any to log various events, such as the start and end of each request. You can direct thesse logs to the output of your
choice; see Log::Any::Adapter. If you don't specify anything then the logs will go into the void.
