Hello all,
I'm a new user to this discussion board. I've got a gaming network and have just recently opened a branch for selling PCs to customers (through retail). I was also thinking of making a few pages to sell PCs online (since I already have a web page for it). Customers would select hardware from the list given on the page, check the price and then place the order.
All this can be hardcoded into the HTML but there's a small problem. The updates. While I can do updates (by editing the HTML on the server) myself but I don't think that our company secretary (she holds all the hardware and pricing information) would be able to do so. I believe I need a small database to hold the hardware name and prices. So when a customer visits the hardware configuration page, hardware name and prices get taken from the database.
I have thought of the layout of the configuration page. I will try to put it into simple words.
First category would be CPU for example. Under that would be different CPU kinds like
Select your CPU:
===============
() Intel Pentium EE 3.2 GHz - $800
() Intel Pentium 4 3.4 GHz - $425
() Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz - $285
() AMD Athlon XP 2800+ - $109
.
.
.
Same goes for motherboard
Select your mainboard:
======================
() MSI K8TNEO - $168
() Albatron K8X800 Pro II - $172
() Asus K8V Deluxe - $195
() Intel Desktop Board 875PBZ - $159
.
.
.
And so on for other hardware devices.
() Indicates a radio button and selecting one should update the total price (shown somewhere on the botton of the page).
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kamran
