varley16 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 im trying to create a website, i know there is editors out there, and im playing about for the moment. But i need to know how i create a website, and people have to register but can access the home page without, i also need a search function, aswell as a search function as above, but a drop down menu, like autotrader, so people can select different bits and bobs from various drop downs, example on one drop down a user can select nissan, then the second one will change to nissan models, so then they can select 350z and so on. any help will be much appreciated and awesome, thanks.

sasha@lazytrips Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 You have 4 main choices: 1. Use one of the many pre-built services. These are usually ok but will have minimal personalisation options. 2. Use Wordpress to sort of build your website using the plugins, etc. A bit more fiddly, little bit more opportunity to stamp your own thing onto it. 3. Pay somebody to code up a website for you. This will usually depend on their skills and mainly include their pre-built components. 4. Code it up yourself - takes time, but outcome is not limited by anything other than your time and input.

varley16 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thank you sasha for the help so far, im basically creating a classified ad website for vehicles for free. there is a lot out there that already do this, but i wont know if i can do it without trying, so far its cost me pretty much nothing apart from the domain name, my brother is helping out alot, he is hosting the site on his server for free, so if it doesnt work, then i havent lost much. my question at the moment is to do with the legal side of it, which i dont know anyone who specializes in this area. 1. Im making a drop down menu with all the makes and models, am i able to do this without gaining permission? 2. Do i need to have a page with all the legal jargon, copywright my name logo etc? 3. Do i need a disclaimer to say that any vehicle sold through my site is not owned by myself therefore i cant b sued if someone buys a car and its a shitbox? 4. any other legal stuff i need to ad to cover ones bottom? thanks for any help, very much appreciated!

HaydnH Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Personally if I was starting a business and I had legal questions I'd pay the small up front fee to consult a lawyer rather than risk a huge fee later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH 370z Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The legal stuff could be a potential nightmare considering that you could be talking about elements of international law as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
