Hey guys,

I just got a new contract to make a site similar to groupon.com or surrey.com. But i need some advice how i should go about doing it.

I know how to do the initial website layout, it seems fairly simple, but i've never done an ecommerce sites or a memebership site like groupon has it. From my initial glance at how it all works, it seems pretty complicated, but maybe it isn't...

I'm doing some massive research right now, so i thought i'd come here and see if anyone could give me a good start on where to learn.

I'm a wordpress guy but i feel like i'd have to create an html5 site to make something like groupon.com. What do you guys think?

And any other helpful information regarding the construction of a site similar to groupon.com would be amazingly appreciated. I thought this would be a great opportunity and challenge to be able to tackle a project similar to groupon.com.

Regards,
ignatius
