Hello...I wonder if any one could help.
I want to sell paintings that will require customers to fill in a form stating colour and size which will change the value of price. I also want this form to be able to allow customers to fill in fields of text for the Certificate of Authenticity they will get. And once that is done be able to pay via paypal...I am a complte novice can any one please help. I have seen that there are free form building websites, but will they do what I want them to be able to.

zen cart will do exactly what you want using the product attributes function, infact pretty much all open source (free to use) shopping carts have an attributes function that you can use to set different product colours and let the customer enter text to be added to the product.

I would recomend zen cart, prestashop, open cart or wordpress or even soteshop (all can be used for free)
I wouldnt really bother with a free form builder website, when there are full shopping cart systems that will do exactly what you need ;)

quite alot of hosting accounts have an installer in the Cpanel, which means you can install a shopping cart without needing to see any code at all, have a look for hosting that has Cpanel as standard and has either fantastico or softalicious installed on it, both fantastico and softalicious are auto install programs that will install shopping carts and other software for you, really simple to use, no knowledge of coding needed at all

great
