I’m building a website where i will have credit card acceptance and paypal, i’m very new to web design so any answers should be in Laymen’s term.

If anyone has a better idea for a cheap or free ( or opensource) ecommerce website package let me know.. I might be looking for a web designer who could do this for cheap. Very basic web store design. Thank you for your help.

hey,

I want to make a website, so I would like to know any free open source software that I can use.

I would prefer them to be like dreamwear, which is easy to install and produce a website.

pls, don’t give me answers like Joomla or Drupal, because I really don’t know how to install them.

For graphic design I’ve only used commercial software like Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop in the past, and my current company has an open source only policy. Graphic design isnt what Im employed for, its something Id like to take on voluntarily (and Im not highly skilled at it but know enough to create fancy web buttons and text, manipulate photos etc), and my employer doesnt have enough experience in the area to point me in the right direction. I don’t have a lot of spare time to download and trial every program a search leads me to so I’m hoping there’s someone out there who can help!
Id prefer something as similar to Paint Shop Pro as possible.

I am a start up. I do not have capital but once I do I can put it towards Adobe Creative suite.
In the meantime, does anyone know of a site that correlates all the best software with its opensource freeware version?
For example, Dreamweaver — NVU
Photoshop—Gimp___paint.net
etc etc.
I am especially interested in something similar to
Flash
and Adobe CAPTIVATE.
Ultimately, I would like to create a really good learning management system. Check out ellis college of new york done by the Cardean learning group. the site they put together is fantastic. Id like to be able to do something like that someday. in one of their whitepapers they talk about their architecture, conssiting of
apache, flashremoting server, tomcat j2ee, edge, uid, xerces, oro, jetspeed, velocity, turbine, jide, oracle, flash communication server, etc.
where to start?
