Learning HTML / PHP / Flash ? I want to build my own website to sell a product.?

Question

Hello, I was wondering if it's hard to make your own website for selling a product.

I have 2 great products I have created and I want to sell them online, which should I learn to make a website for this? HTML, PHP, Flash? or all three? What is the most popular in websites now a days?

Does anyone have any websites I can go to for tutorials or training? Also I have no idea how to register a domain etc,. so I need to learn everyone from the beginning.

(Also I was wondering which type of things I could use to receive payments for my products? I only know of PayPal and ClickBank so far, is there any other good trustworthy ones?

So can anyone out there help me here?

thanks,

-john

Answer 1

You will need a host sooner or later, so pick a good host and they will show you how to go through the process from beginning to end. I use GoDaddy. They will answer your emails and they will talk on the phone if you pay for the call.

Also, you can build your own website with HTML... but it will end up with a simple look.. but sometimes, simple is better. Here is one made using Windows Works Word .... http://newfreebooks.com

I would suggest your focus be in html. Why? Because, the majority of the internet users still use a dial-up connection and html sites are dial-up friendly. The top pages in any keyword search are html so I would say they are most popular.

As far as tutorial websites and training, there are many web hosts that will assist. I would suggest that you explore many options to find a host that is the best match for your needs.

First compare features then prices side-by-side. This process will ensure that you find the best fit and the most value for your money. Most hosts will register your domain for you as part of the package. The web host that I use is a great example that you can use in your comparison if you'd like http://buildit.sitesell.com/UnstoppableD...

Hello Jack,

Let me put it this way. If you want to make your own web-site, I could tell you how I built mine. If you put your mind to it and work hard you can do it! I have built my own with barely any computer skills. If you want more information, contact me and I would be happy to help you out!

You are on the right track and Pay Pal and Click bank are the best for accepting payments.

Good Luck!

My friend don't go to GoDaddy.com, their service is really bad. Okay friend, i know exactly what you mean. I'm gonna give you a rough sketch of what you can do. Get yourself a domain name at http://www.namecheap.com/ this is affordable and also reliable. Find yourself a good domain name. Then, now you need your Web Host to host your website obviously. I recommend http://tinyurl.com/6nn8gg .After signing up, you have to transfer your DNS. I'll not cover this here now. For your website, you need a HTML (What You See It What You Get) Editor. This makes it easy to create your site. Some of the HTML I recommend you use is Frontpage, Dreamweaver and NVU.

Teaching yourself by reading is dificult for most people. You may be different. There are so  many templates available today for online stores, there is little need to create your own. All of the backside technical issues have been addressed and tested to make sure they work. What happens if you design your own site and your method for obtaining payment fails, but the order is processed anyway. Will you know that before you ship the order? You will with a tested system.

Learn HTML/PHP/Flash because it interests you, if it does. Don't do it just because you think you need to in order to get the "perfect" webstore. Take advantage of the tools that are readily available right now. Get your products to market faster, and you may be sucessful before someone else beats you to market.

Good Luck!!
