I am not so professional so if I'm not using the right terminology or posting in the correct forum please forgive me. Thanks in advance to whoever offers help.
I need to build website for a friend's company. He needs a simple informational website, it doesn't need shopping cart/checkout or anything complicated. The main purpose is to list products that they manufacture for customers to view. Afterward they order via telephone/fax.
Where it gets complicated is that of course the business owner will need to update the site. I need a program where he can log in with username/password, obviously something secure. Preferably the admin should be able to create new users. The main function is to add products. There will be a menu on the side of the website linking to a separate page for each product category (they have a lot of products). The trick is that he wants to be able to edit the order of how the products appear (i.e. not necessarily should they be in order of newest/oldest or a-z).
He also wants to have the ability to change the order of the product categories on the main menu.
The other questions I have should be fairly easy. How do I create forms and leave control to him of where they are sent to (in others words he can change the e-mail address).
How can I install an efficient product search engine for the page (not those cheap kinds that bring you to a new, different-looking site for the results).
I would also like to create a nice flash banner for eye-candy. Does anyone know of a good site where I can do this easily for cheap or free?
I would like to note that I am not a programmer. I know html and css, and I have enough brains to learn new tricks with a little playing around. What I need to know is where I can find already-existing software that can do these functions, and how do I upload/install it. Thanks again in advance for any help.
