Hello From Phoenix

[PhxStorks 0]

Hello! I found out about this site from another forum I am with and after reading all the features that come with the hosting, I am going to TRY to create my own site with shopping cart here on Trap 17. My current site is Phoenix Storks

I currently use a WYSIWYG online website editor/host called Citymax. It has small shopping cart, but I need something more Robust & I'm hoping Zencart will work for me. I have been over at zencart's forums & it seems like it is very customizable. I requested a quote to see how much it would cost for someone else to build it, but I think I'm gonna try to do it myself before resorting to that. I have no PHP knowledge and very BASIC html knowledge, so I signed up for Trap 17's "free hosting" to see:
1. if this is something that I can accomplish on my own, and
2. If I want to do this to myself (hassle-factor)

If anyone has any reccomendations or suggestions for a newbie like me (especially regarding the zencart) I would love to hear them.

I tend to post REALLY long posts but I try to be helpful & stay on topic. I have a background in graphic design (but don't do that professionally anymore) am married with one son (3) and a daughter on the way, Due November 20.

Thanks for reading

So yea... hello! and welcome to Xisto. It really is a good place to be if you want great people and great hosting. I've never had any problems with it so far. And when I don't understand something, the people here are more than happy to give me an explanation which is really nice.Anyway, your site looks really nice. I can see the graphic designer part of you through it. And sorry, I'm not familiar with shopping carts, but I wish you luck in creating one for your site!
