Stu583 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 No problem. Is there anything in particular you are thinking about doing? The forum is a fab place to ask them awkward questions though if you do get stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsviF Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Thanks.A friend told me that here I can build my site but after reading a bit I understans that first I need hosting then creating my site on my own uploading the site and only then using prestashop to creat my back office etc...am I right?

Stu583 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah you will definitely need hosting. You will initially need a domain name (e.g. www.somthing.com) but if you go to any hosting company most will register this for you. Is there anybody that you can get to help you with this with a little knowledge? Im not saying you will be unable to do it (its not rocket science) but it could get a little confusing. Is your friend quite familiar with e-commerce or even Internet in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsviF Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah we are familiar with hosting and domain name etc...What basicaly I thought I will get here are tools to create (build) the site it self on my own before uploading.But I see that here I will get the tools to make my site a store only after it will be uploade, isn't it?Do I need to build my site from zero with let's say somethimg like macromedia or any other HTML software?

Stu583 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 My appologies if I offended you with my assumptions regarding domain names and hosting.PS is a complete e-commerce solution. You upload the files and install and you will have a fully functioning store. Have a look at the demo. That is a basic install and that is exactly how your site will look. Further modifications are down to you and that is where this community comes into play. There are many many themes and additional modules that make your site different from the basic.
