Hello chaps (sorry but its is mainly chaps isn't it!)
Am looking to do the website thing and I'm wanting to get a bit more clued in.
For a number of years I've had a domain and the hosters are using a Linux server of some sort (possibly redhat). I have my own development server at home - an Ubuntu box. I'd start with that.
I want a visually simple and uncluttered but sophisticated-enough website. I'm thinking of something like a film reel of smaller thumbnails along the bottom and the centre photo enlarged above the film reel. The show would fade images in and out. A click on the image will load another page with just the image and image data. etc.
I want to avoid Microsoft and Adobe. No Flash.
I have php, mysql, postgres and am thinking of Ajax and jquery.
Does anyone have specific experience here to guide my thoughts - does anyone want a job !?! I don't want to do this myself exactly but I might have to.
I've loaded Coppermine and Gallery3 but I don't think they're quite the right thing...
That's it. My limits have been reached! I'm not sure how to speak too much more of the lingo required. I'm not computer silly and I promise I can learn quickly!
Help and opinions appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
