Need To Upgrade Webstie: Need Drop Down Boxes

[RMB Custom Leather]

I need to upgrade my website and I am having trouble finding someone who has the time to either contact me back or build me a website. At this point I really would just like to do it myself however I need a site with drop down boxes so I can give my customer options to choose from. I have found several do it yourself sites but none with a template that has drop down boxes. Can anyone recommend someone or a website that can accomplish what I need? If you can build a site like I need you can email me at the address below.

Have you contacted Kate (CitizenKate) about this? IIRC, she does web design professionally. I believe it's called Studio Two Dogs.

Hi Are you planning to tie the code to a database for inventory tracking. Or do you just need something that will send the color-way and size to your order desk?

If it is the second option you might be able to use this online dropdown box code generator.

I used to do web design but haven't touched it since 2001.

Thank you very much for the reply. Not really sure what you’re asking but I don't need to really track the inventory because all items will be made as they are ordered. I need the drop down boxes to give my customers options like stain color, tread color etc. to choose from. As long as the order prints out with all the options that the customer ordered then it would work for me. If I went through one of the do it yourself sites and used a template for a store where would I put that code in order for it to put drop boxes on each item? Thanks for the info.

Ok, if you are just offering options for a custom order then the drop down code should work for you.

You would look at the code for the template and find the spot where you want to place the drop down code. (it looks like a mess at first... but you'll start to understand where things are and how they work after reading the code a while) One of the things I used to do is add some XX in the code to see where it put them in preview mode. Then that would tell me if I was close to the position I wanted. )

Then just copy and paste from the drop down creator link I gave you. Then look at the web page and see if there is adjustments necessary.

If you have a Wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) editor then it would be easy I would think.

Good luck. PM me if you need an extra set of eyes. I'm as rusty as steel wool intended for vinegaroon... but I'll try to help.

I can't seem to get ahold of her sent a few messages PM's , email, and voice mail. The site looks down right now.

Kate is busy at the moment, I was going to get her do my website but she wouldn't be able to do it until the end of January that was contacting her early December, I have a bit of time up my sleeve now at my day job (graphic designer) now that christmas has passed so I will probably do it myself now.

I have built simple websites before in Dreamweaver but I'm looking at using Wordpress now for ease of use. If you want to look into that a good set of beginner tutorials can be found for wordpress here http://wp.tutsplus.com/category/tutorials/wp101-training/. I believe Kate uses something similiar in Concrete 5 I went with wordpress as it was a simple install from my webhost. Although wordpress is most associated with blogs it can be used for sites and the drop down boxes can be done fairly easy, one of the videos on the wptutsplus site shows you how to do it. If thats not quite what you are after wordpress can be set up with plugins to do almost anything you want

If your wanting to maintain your own site fairly easily Wordpress or Concrete 5 would probably be a good choice for wordpress as you have already got website hosting get the software version from worpress.org if your hosting company doesn't offer it as a one click install, the plugins are available from here as well.
