Hi All. I've been doing editing websites and Designing banners and myspace pages for about 2 years now. Recently I started on a website. It is going to be a music site that sells instrumentals. The thing about it is.. I don't even know where to start. -Sign up forms -Shopping Carts -Integrating the Shopping Carts -Selling Downloadable content online -Having the content sent automatically to the user after purchase -LCC's Maybe I'm making this harder than it has to be. But right now i'm just overwhelmed. Does anybody have any tips on where to get started on this. I have the design and everything done (for the most part).
Why not try and use a pre made solution first? such as os commerce or zen cart, and then consider learning php and mysql once you've got used to running a site... you can just hook up these scripts to your paypal (and other gateways) and you're off... they even support DLC... alternatively, consider getting a freelancer to get your site built... it's a big task for someone new to the field...
