Hello everyone! I am new to the forum but did some reading also it nice to see a community involving people helping 1 another out. I am a novice freelance web designer but i like to learn. I would like kid build my personal custom ecommerce web-site so then i would have the ability to edit, update etc at my convience. Not really someone elses. So I am here in an attempt to find out what kind of software or sort of website i should begin to learn to form a shopping cart such as this http: //www. canvasondemand. com/order/canvases/. Everyone i possess talked to just explained that it is a custom cart but couldn’t offer my family any advice on where to start with. I know its probably outside my current knowledge but i used to be hoping for easily gain that expertise. Any advice as well as tutorials or books is much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
Josh
ps. The choices show that i’ll build a internet site i built brussels about 1yr previously. http: //www. slocountysigns. com/
Alright… So you do understand HTML and CSS ( inbound links underneath the banner don’t focus on an iPhone )…
To build the ecommerce site you will know a scritping words ( asp / asp. web or php ), php being that really big language with a pile of support… You’ll need to find out how to create a MySQL DB, and then discover ways to tie the php and also MySQL together… Usually the one final step will be integrating a settlement processor into every one of if… There are plenty of tutorials and examples on the right way to tie in pay pal, but for just about any other payment brand, you’ll need to either start using a pre-built or go directly to the payment processor and check if they have the API and integration scripts.
The third part is what gets most web developers ( why many free shopping cart sites are meant around pay companion )…
When you collect consumer information ( sometimes just basic information ), you’ll really need better than just basic security and make sure your SQL pieces of software are protected next to script injections.
Suggest you get a hold of and install one or more of the some other free scripts… To find out how some with its done… Next build it available our way…
There’s a chance you’re able to employ any reputable ecommerce software as a backend. I highly recommend you decide to do that because you don’t want some hacker obtaining your costumer’s mastercard just because that you do not know all the protection loop holes.
Then again, the frontend ought to be customized if you wish to recreate that Canvas order website. This is done mostly with Javascript. I also advise you learning how you can use jQuery so it will make life far more easier.
Naturally you should possess a better understanding involving HTML and CSS. Your internet site is a coding blunder.
Thanks guys. I am attempting to learn. So i should look into learning php. We’ve dabbled with it a little when i wrote my very own script for the actual contact form. It looked a little bit complicated but seeing that anything i simply need to read and practice. Kayo that a great idea with using a new ecommerce software for any backend. Do you recommend any i should investigate. Theres tons. Thanks for the heads up with my coding in which site. I built it dreamweaver after i was learning. Some other tips or things i should investigate Anything helps a lot! Another option only can’t figure this out is it a good suggestion to have the freelance webdesigner create the cart and i recently do all the other parts to the site or is that not likely realistic Thanks
Josh.
