Hi,

I have a decent background in the web, enough to call myself a web designer and create intermediate Flash presentations, web graphics, etc. However, I would very much like to be able to provide a database for someone who wished to create an e-Commerce sight. I know people go to school for Database Technology for years. But I don't want to build an electronic town hall yet. I just want to be able to do something moderately humble, like sell cheese. Check out this website: http://www.igourmet.com It's a very well laid out website with a simple ordering process for the visitor. I'd like to be able to do something like this. Would FileMaker Pro be a good way to go? And how hard would it be to learn? Is FM a more managable option than something like ColdFusion?

Thanks for being patient with a newbie.

Cheers!

Jen

sight---SITE, mistakes like that hurt too much to let go!!

FMP and CDML are relatively easy and fast to develop with. I use both CDML and ASP/VBScript/SQL as a developer for various clients. CDML is my favourite!

FMP is certainly capable of managing the ordering process.

All the best.
