I am making an e commerce site and am using dream weaver which has worked okay..... unfortunately I have to upload my site every time I update the main template (which I need to do a fair bit).

1.I have tried using a php external style sheet and it worked for the text and stuff, but I don't think it can do every thing I need.

2.I have also looked at cold fusion wich looks good but it is kinda expensive at this stage.

3.I am not to sure about a CMC like OS Commerce (CMC's have always bothered me.....I want to learn how to be a web designer and CMC's seem like they would not help.

4.I have not really messed around with php but would like to learn it at some point. could I learn enough to make some erver site templates in a few days?


what would you guys recommend

Thanks
Adam
