Hi I am a web designer familiar with Dreamweaver. I am now moving into creating a new project which will sell indutrial equipment. I require the following functionality 1. Relatively easy to use for a web designer 2. The site will use a database (MySQL)to retrieve search results for machinery. 3. Login/Logout page along with password reminder system (email) 4. Forum 5. Shopping cart integration, for instance Paypal 6. Site search capability. 7. Ability for a user to upload adverts and pictures. All that I need to do is to review and accept. Can anyone advise. I am also new to database programming, would it be easier for me to create a database in Access and convert to MySQL? I have looked at Typo3 (which i found rich in functionality but daunting for my level) and I have also looked at Mambo as these seem to be the most talked about CMS. I am favouring Mambo at the moment. I would also like to create the templates in Dreamweaver and somehow make them dynamic in Mambo. Any novices who started to use these systems I would be glad to hear of your experiences in a similar project. Thanks in advance. DublinDue
You may want to visit www(dot)cmsmatrix(dot)org - most CMS systems are listed there - you can search for the ones that may apply to you...
I would highly recommend mambo. This site will help you tremendously since he wrote a dreamweaver extension and more: www.mambosolutions.com Ramebo| http://www.businesscardtips.com
