I am trying to make an online shop site. It should include the regulars like a homepage etc. but also a stock page.
But unlike any other shopping site, this one sells personalised number plates. So I think that I might need a part where you type in your personalised number plate, words/numbers etc.
How would I make this work, and how should I go about making the site?
Are there any programs I could use?
Any Tips/Help/Advice would be a real help!

Sure, I agree, put making the user fill in everything (including the maths, I might add) him/herself is just a total turn off.

Interesting stat for you... 96% of online shopping carts only contain one item. 26% of online shopping carts are abandoned before completeion of the trasactaction. Hence why we don't have one!
You'll probably find that most people will see the site, assess it's "features" and think it's too shoddy, fiddly and disrespectful then go somewhere else.
Depends on (I'll get shot for this) it's usability ans security... Online shoppers are stupid!! The need somethng useable, friendly and reasuring. If there a product there they want, they won't care about it's look as long as it's logical, friendly, uesable and secure!!
Ecommerce is still more about psychology than pretty graphics and technology...

Depends really, you're not going to get anything advanced for sure. But never under estimate people's desire to cut corners and save money I say. :)
For instance, get yourself an internet trading account, sign up for worldpay (or one of the other numerous companies providing such services), all you need then is static html forms for your products, you click buy, it takes you to worldpay's secure payment server. They handle the rest, all done with little html knowledge.

Pretty much what I suggested, a bit more advanced because they have some javascript to add up totals. :)
I guess in the end its going to come down to what you consider an ecommerce site.
