Well, I'm starting a website now and it is a lot harder than I thought. this is nothing like what I remember in high school. I tok web development just like every other kid but today you have to be a scientist. I learned pretty much just basic HTML and there is so much else these days. You got XML, XHTML, PHP, mysql databases, and embedding Java is easier than ever. Or more commonly expected, dunno about easier.
My checklist to start off was small, buy the domain name, register the server space (I got a Linux programmed server running on Linus OS BTW), and set it up no problem. Turned out I needed to do a lot more and all through FTP. The new site will be a shop type store meaning I will sell stuff through it. I am going to sell hand painted customized shoes, so our customers know that each shoe will be unique and a one of a kind piece of art. So since it's a store I'm using a free online cart named Open Cart, google it up if you need a cart, the online forum is highly populated and help is everywhere. The main page still displays the demo the cart gives you, since I know way less about web development than I originally thought but it's only been one day so cut some slack. I am using the Arvixe company for my domain hosting, the company seems pretty good but I will have to try it myself and give feedback so all of you know if it's good.
Getting the site set up to begin with involves mainly uploaded scripts to set the cart up on my server properly so I'm not even getting experience with my web design and programming (or what programming languages to even use). I don't know what to learn to build websites in the beginning but it is a pretty big rush just owning one, so it's still fun. I hope the website sells many units of product.
