is it possible/advisable to set up and run a small commercial site

[robphelan]

with limited knowledge of html programming?

i'm a programmer but don't know too much about web programming.

i've set up simple sites before using frontpage(easy) and and just recently threw up a gallery using coppermine - so i'm very familiar with ftp, and a decent amount of UNIX.. but no mySQL,

I saw a post on Firstpage - i see that their last version is free - any comments about it?

can you recommend any free/cheap shopping cart programs out there? i'm looking through sourceforge right now.

thanks,
rob.

1) Depends on how well motivated you are and how good you are at figuring things out

2) I dont know anything about Firstpage

3) I'd highly recommend ZenCart - it's free and has great features and has great support. My sister is using it with little/no html/programming experience.
