Online Shop - Hiring System
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 3:27 pm
I am quite new to coding and web site development, but know the basics of editing codes etc...but i am looking to go abit further.
I am currently in the middle of setting up my own business, and along with this, a website...
I have some good ideas for my website, but not sure if they would work, or even were to begin to start putting them into practise.
I was thinking of getting a professional in and do it for me, but when I seen the prices, there was no way I could afford that, especially with me just starting out...
I will try and explain my ideas as best as I can, and make them as clear as possible, and if anyone could as be helpful as to point me in the right direction, or give me a few hints and tips to get me started it would be most appreciated, thanks!
1 - I am wanting to take bookings online (its a inflatable hiring business). In order for me not to double book, I am wanting to be able to link it to a calendar, so that I cant take double bookings. For example if someone books a week today, and then someone else comes on and books a week today, they wont be able to.
2 - Along with the above feature, I would like to be able to add my own dates, so for example if I take a booking over the phone, I can add the date, and then someone cant book online.
3 - For the moment also, I am only wanting to accept payment locally, is they any way I can get it to check the post code, and then check a list of all 'acceptable' post codes, etc.
This is to start off with, and I will update it as I come across problems, or I have any more queries
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Shaun!
