Lets Get This Ball Rolling

Postby DJSeasho » Fri Feb 26, 2010 4:44 am

Hello everyone!
I'm about to embark on an ambitious project of creating my own website for the sale of pc parts and upgrades initially starting with gfx cards. I will need all the help you can give me, currently I am working with GoDaddy, my domains are bought, my ftp is paid off, now all I need to do is create the webpage... I don't have a clue where to start, I was hoping that perhaps someone on this forum could point me to some free shopping templates I could utilize initially just to learn from and modify to suit my needs. Thanks so much I hope you can help!

Just do a Google search, you will find results for sure. Since you previously said you didn't know any (X)HTML and CSS, I would advise to start off with some tutorials on that subject.

No, don't do that, Dreamweaver is a texteditor, no need to learn it. It's more important to learn the languages, you can even use notepad to code! Personally I use Notepad++, an open source code-editor.

I'll learn to code if I can load up the basic template, this is killing me because I know it shouldn't be this difficult :( I'm trying to load the template up for www.unstoppablepcs.com but I uploaded it to the ftp and all I get is that odd page. I'm using go daddy and I don't have a clue what to do.

It looks like you haven't put the files in the right place.

if you find that file most likely its called index.html, then that's where you should upload things to.

make sure you uploaded to the correct folder on the server, usually its called htdocs or public_html
