Making A New Web (advices)

[Daniz]

Hi guys!Well, here's the thing. I want to start making a new web for me and my job.I just want some advices. :)Im electrician, and I want a web where theres info about me, phone numbre, what i do... bla bla bla. The most tricky think is that I want a page where the person can get an estimate of what they want to do. So I will add a DataBase with the things I do and estimated time to do it (eg: putting a plug on a wire, 5€ E, estimated time 10 mins, and so on). And when the customer made the selection, he clicks on "Submit" button and ready to show everything :)It would be good that they click on "new plug", or "20 m wire", and those things autoadd to a square at the right, a column or something. Like a "virtual cart".So that is what I want, I think u know what I mean.Any advices on how I can make it? Not flash, and I want it to do load on any computer. :)Ty guyss!

I know basics of HTML and CSS.But I got no idea about PHP, Java or MySQL. Where should I start? At Javascript? PHP? MySQL?

first of all, JAVA is not the same as Javascript!I would start with Javascript, that would help you to put little checkboxes on your site so when people click certain tasks that they want performed, it could create a "shopping cart" of sorts for you.However, another approach would be learning how to use mail() in PHP so people could email you directly and you could in turn supply them with a quote based on their individual needs.Or combine your shopping cart with a form so you can get all their information along with all the boxes they've checked. Or give the option of both.
