The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

website develoipment please help

Asked by hunky_sh in E-Commerce, PHP Scripting Language

Experts:

Could you kindly help me develop my website,
I have never developed a website - just familiar with it-- I have done some java coding -- but no web etc development -- so kind of new -- please be patient with me.
I have just opened a new publishing business and want to develop a basic website by myself which has following functions:
1). It needs to have a basic logo stuff with a navigation bar -- like HOME | RECENT STUFF| CONTACT US etc...
2). website needs to show recent as well as all publications of books.. I don't have a database from hosting company and I don't want to pay (keeping my investment as low as possible for now). So I am thinking to create folders like for example:
directory called KidsBooks, another directory called ScienceBooks .. etc..
and under that create 2 folders
AllPublished
RecentPublished
and under that html for each book.. where AllPublished will have all the books (recent and old)
and Recent will have only Recent.
and then a tab to show Recent Publishings -- which should point to html in Recent Publishings which can list of all the books and summary..

for example:
School Kids
blah blah blah.....
and when somebody clicks on School Kids --- it should point to html which has exact book name..
similarly for all publishing ---

is this the right way of doing it?

3). It needs to have a Search bar --- not too sophisticated.. But a user can type certain words like

School Kids  and from above -- it should bring listings for

School Kids
blah blah blah.....
which they can then click to bring the book html ---

4). a button for Buy -- where they can add the books they want in a shopping cart.

I will use payPal for this -- but I am not sure how to allow them to add on shopping cart based on my directory which has list of all the books..

5). This button should send an email to me for me to see the orders and ship the books (especially also when buyer doesn't want to pay online). I have PHP enabled ---  can it be of use?

Is there any freeware I can use -- since I don't want to invest in some software for now-- since right now this is for very basic website -- not too sophisticated..
any software I can download which can quickly help me putting together the basic website atleast and then I can put the source code myself to the hosting company server?
please help with putting together the basic design..

Thanks
