HI everyone!!!

I have built my churchs website with FP and now looking to build a website for a friend that is starting a nutrition web site. I have built him a nice excel workbook that he uses. Has many macros and pulldowns and we are using a food database that has over 7000 items. We sort through them, thensort again.

We are looking to replicate what I already did.
Questions.

1). Do I have to write the code or an I can I use the macros and somehow convert the excel into a web?

2). May need to add things to buy like a shopping cart (never did that before). Is this something easily done?

I can post the excel sheet if you need to see it. Its big though.

Jerry

Hi and Welcome to OutFront.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think you have quite an uphill climb. Frim your first web site to an ecommerce site is not a little step and your question is extremely broad.

The first thing I would suggest is forget about using the macros for anything other than a reference. Excel is not a suitable website engine for anything other than the most simple of sites.

My second suggestion is that if you want an ecom site, look at it as an ecomm site from the start. Don't try to build something and the bolt a shopping cart on top of it. You will be far more productive starting with a shopping cart package and building around that. Try finding a cart that has most of the features you'll most likely be selling and work off that.
