Business site in WordPress

  • I had this question sitting in the misc. section for two weeks with no replies, so I thought that I would move it to the How to section and get some response, so I apologize for duplicating the question.
    I am wanting to change my business site(www.buyhscconline.com) to WordPress or mainly wondering how hard or easy it will be. In my mind it is do-able, but I need the input of the experts.

    Well, I found MAMP and have it all set up and working fine, now I get to try to start putting my info into a theme and get it to work.

    Now here is the hard part that I have come across. Since this website is going to be for purchasing candles online, each candle has an option of 40+ candle scents available. The question is how to give that option using WP??

    the way the site is set up right now in frames, each item has a pull down box listing all of the scents and you click on a scent and then add the item to a Paypal shopping cart.

    (sorry about navigation)
    https://www.buyhscconline.com
    click on picture of 3 painted crocks
    click on anyone of the individual crocks
    you should see a large picture of the crock with a description and then below that is the item number with the scent pull down box, then an “add to cart” button.

    now you see why we need to make a change, there is no direct link to the item

    I did try to copy the HTML code from the page in DW and paste into a post page in code and I was able to get the Scent selection pull down window, but the paypal button didn’t come out right. Is it the DW that is screwing it up?

    Can pull down menus be done in WP, plug ins perhaps??

    thank you

    Another question:
    I’ve got this string of code:
    <input name=”on0″ value=”Scent” type=”hidden” /> Scent <select name=”os0″> <option value=”Select a Scent” selected=”selected”>Select a Scent </option><option value=”1-Scent of the Month(See Home)”>1-Scent of the Month(See Home) </option><option value=”2-Scent of the Month(See Home)”>2-Scent of the Month(See Home) </option><option value=”AB-Apple Blossom (light pink)”>AB-Apple Blossom (light pink) </option><option value=”BC-Black Cherry (dk cranberry)”>BC-Black Cherry (dk cranberry) </option><option value=”BB-Blueberry(medium blue)”>BB-Blueberry(medium blue) </option><option value=”BU-Buttercream(cream)”>BU-Buttercream(cream) </option><option value=”CHC-Chocolate Cake(dk brown)”>CHC-Chocolate Cake(dk brown) </option><option value=”CI-Cinnamon(red)”>CI-Cinnamon(red) </option><option value=”CA-Cinnamon Apple(dk burgundy)”>CA-Cinnamon Apple(dk burgundy) </option><option value=”CT-Citronella(yellow)”>CT-Citronella(yellow) </option><option value=”CF-Citrus Fruits(pale orange)”>CF-Citrus Fruits(pale orange) </option><option value=”CS-Country Spice(country blue)”>CS-Country Spice(country blue) </option><option value=”CR-Cranberry(cranberry)”>CR-Cranberry(cranberry) </option><option value=”CU-Cucumber Melon(white)”>CU-Cucumber Melon(white) </option><option value=”CRO-Cranberry-Orange(orange)”>CRO-Cranberry-Orange(orange) </option><option value=”GA-Gardenia(white)”>GA-Gardenia(white) </option><option value=”GC-Graham Cracker(tan)”>GC-Graham Cracker(tan) </option><option value=”HD-Honeydew(lt green)”>HD-Honeydew(lt green) </option><option value=”HS-Honeysuckle(br yellow)”>HS-Honeysuckle(br yellow) </option><option value=”HYD-Hydrangea(lilac)”>HYD-Hydrangea(lilac) </option><option value=”JB-Juniper Breeze(bl green)”>JB-Juniper Breeze(bl green) </option><option value=”LA-Lavender(lavender)”>LA-Lavender(lavender) </option><option value=”LB-Lemon Basil(pale yellow)”>LB-Lemon Basil(pale yellow) </option><option value=”LI-Lilac(lilac)”>LI-Lilac(lilac) </option><option value=”LV-Lily of the Valley(white)”>LV-Lily of the Valley(white) </option><option value=”MC-MacIntosh Apple(red)”>MC-MacIntosh Apple(red) </option><option value=”ME-Merlot(deep red)”>ME-Merlot(deep red) </option><option value=”MCH-Mint Chocolate Chip(lt green)”>MCH-Mint Chocolate Chip(lt green) </option><option value=”MU-Mulberry(purple)”>MU-Mulberry(purple) </option><option value=”OR-Orange(orange)”>OR-Orange(orange) </option><option value=”PA-Patchouli(lt aqua/green)”>PA-Patchouli(lt aqua/green) </option><option value=”PCM-Peach Mango(peach)”>PCM-Peach Mango(peach) </option><option value=”PN-Pina Colada(white)”>PN-Pina Colada(white) </option><option value=”PW-Pink Watermelon(pink)”>PW-Pink Watermelon(pink) </option><option value=”POM-Pomegranate(red)”>POM-Pomegranate(red) </option><option value=”RN-Rain(light aqua)”>RN-Rain(light aqua) </option><option value=”RO-Rose(red)”>RO-Rose(redt) </option><option value=”RUM-Rum(cream)”>RUM-Rum(cream) </option><option value=”SA-Spice Apple(mauve)”>SA-Spice Apple(mauve) </option><option value=”ST-Strawberry(red)”>ST-Strawberry(red) </option><option value=”SC-Sugar Cookie(lt brown)”>SC-Sugar Cookie(lt brown) </option><option value=”SU-Sunflower(yellow)”>SU-Sunflower(yellow) </option><option value=”TM-Toasted Marshmallow(tan)”>TM-Toasted Marshmallow(tan) </option><option value=”VA-Vanilla(white)”>VA-Vanilla(white) </option><option value=”VC-Vanilla-Cinnamon(dk brown)”>VC-Vanilla-Cinnamon(dk brown) </option><option value=”WI-Wisteria(white)”>WI-Wisteria(white) </option></select>

    That creates a pull down menu of candle scents, can this code be made into a .php folder within my them and then I would call up the document whenever needed. I am thinking this way to make updating the list easier. Whenever I have to make changes then I would only have to make once.

    thanks

    Well… I found WP-ecommerce for the site that I am working on, but I am still having some problems. I think just bugs that I need to work out, but they are being helpful with trying to help me.
