either subcontract the work you can't do, learn how to write the required code or don't bid for work that you can't do.

No tool is going to be able to replace a good skill set.

ive seen some really powerful tools that can create the commercial side of a website. i havent got the money to contract it out and its just for fun at the mo anyway. i want to see if i can create a decent one first.

ive created them in the past with free commercial software and they came out quite well, but i want it to look even more professional this time. the free one had it limits and had ads in.

theres no way id be able ot learn to code that kind of thing. thats way to advanced

if you really can't do it, you either need to use a 3rd party tool (which might not be free) or learn how to do it.

I learnt to write code by doing a MSc in Software Engineering at the University Of Teesside. I was fully funded (a European sodial fund grant) and had £65 a week to live on as well. It only took 12 months and afterwards I had more than enough skill to get a job as a full time software engineer.

There is NO reason why you couldn't learn to write secure web application code but you need to learn what you are doing before you try and build a web based shop. If you don't do it properly you are putting your clients credit card details at risk!

I'd definetly recommend Dreamweaver, a fantastic app. I actually couldn't stand the program a while ago but being forced to use it at work i was so suprised at how useful it is when your coding manually. I was under the impression it wrote all the code for you ... but its quite the opposite, when your going through thousands of lines of code in an ASP/PHP based site and writing bits in here and there, even when starting from scratch the automatic functions will appear in pop-up box for the relevant parameter, that amongst the huge list of other advantages it is definetly something to consider when developing commerical sites.

I would just put in the hard graft and learn the code properly ... using those app's that do everything for you is not really a good way of going about doing things.
