Hi Everyone,

My name is Theodore, I'm 13 and I've almost finished my very first website. Itss designed to be a novelty site which sells ridiculously expensive stuff, it's hosted here on zymic at 'qwerty8.vndv.com'. I'm pretty much done the php scripting to support the site, along with the database that controls my products, users and their carts. The code parses most of the pages for me, but I'm a little short on formatting. So I'd like you guys to head over there, look around and give me feedback, especially where I need better formatting and graphics, and a place I can find some help.

NOTE: I'll be getting more test products, but right now, the only one is in clothing/suits.

Thanks,
Theodore

It looks like a copied template, due to the mixed categories (clothing, entertainment, etc.)

I can't really put my figure on what this site was created to do. Tell me and I'll rate it out of 10.

Honestly looks pretty flakey...The lot of it.

Hi Everyone,

In answer to the first question, its a novelty site that is going to [eventually] sell super ridiculously priced products (ie Bling Water, or Wisdom Audio), I'm not sure what your referring to as the template, but I'm going to assume that it is '/content/products/index.php', and yes that bit is a template, which I made and will eventually fill. I hope it makes more sense now that you know its use.

To NaRzY, I will admit that I started with a standard template, and the look is in fact pretty close to the original, but I'm wondering what's bad about that. It doesn't seen right to remove the header, and I'm not sure what the other problems are with the template. I'm not trying to be defensive I just want to know what you would have me change.

In fact, that would be my request to both of you: please note any and all things that you think I should change on the site.

Thanks,
Theodore

Just took a look at the source code. Its a template. If you really want us to believe that you made that try editing the code a little bit. We might believe you a little more.

This is from the source code:

Guys I think his point was not that he created the DESIGN by himself, but he used a premade design and coded the backend from scratch. Poking around a bit, I can probably believe that much, and if he's 13 years old, that's pretty impressive. Login system, product categories, and shopping cart. Nothing crazy but at 13 I was still writing crappy VB6 apps. Hell I'm 17 now and I still can't learn PHP, I much prefer C#/ASP.Net lol.

I would ditch the blog design template, it doesn't really work for an "ecommerce" kind of website. I tried a couple simple SQL injection tests in your categories querystrings and they didn't work, I'll try using TamperData to mess with the login form and see if that's safe too.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback, I've made most of the changes you guys suggested,

Thanks for being so helpful,
Theodore
