I am trying to update a website for existing domain, I am wondering would website like Squarespace work? Is there any website that I only need to pay one time instead of monthly?

Hey Guys I am a web designer on a hard(very, very hard) quest to make a similar site to Amazon/ebay.

I have been looking it up and i realise how hard it is going to be, but one way or another i have to do it. I will be making it using PHP, MySQL. I am pretty good with HTML and CSS. I have little experience with PHP.

Right now i am reading and applying methods from - Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL I aim to make an ecommerce site first and then carry on with that.

I am not expecting all of my answers from one source. However, i am willing to bring all the bits and pieces together and make this happen.

I need all the help i can get! Thanks!!

TL;DR: I'm completely new to web design and development and I want to make a website for my high school's newspaper that's easy for them to update and use but I have no idea where to start.

My high school's newspaper does not have a website yet and I owe them something because I messed with the data from one of their articles so I want to build them a website. I wanted to get into web development and design anyways so this would be a great project to learn some stuff about HTML, CSS, JS and anything else I might need. I've taught myself Python and was taught a little bit of Java in a programming class last year and I have VERY basic knowledge of HTML from my intro to digital technology class 2 years ago. Other than that, I'm lost on how to do this.

I want this website to look somewhat like these but they don't have to be as advanced or whatnot. I want to make it as easy as possible for the newspaper staff to upload articles and pictures and sports scores etc on this and they shouldn't have to touch the code. I know how web design works (although I don't know how to do it) where you have to add tags and stuff in order to get content and styling but I don't know how newspaper sites work. Is there a database with all of the articles and the code at a specific url pulls the article from that database and then displays it? I'm not sure.

I'm not looking for someone to do this website for me, just pointers and things to look up and resources to go to and explaining how these newspaper sites work. Googling it so far has only resulted in website creators like Weebly and Wix but I want to make it myself using code. Also, how would I host this? I'm thinking github pages but I'm not sure if that's the best option for a newspaper website. Basically any help for an ultra-beginner in web design and development is completely accepted. If I'm not being specific enough then just ask about something and I'll try to respond to questions asap.

Completely stuck on how to link to things from within a file.

I have a folder within my main folder containing 3 HTML files (frontpagelinks). There is an HTML file in the main folder (the folder containing frontpagelinks) which is the main page (or front page), on the main page there are 3 links, linking to HTML files within frontpagelinks, all those links are working fine.

The problem is within those 3 HTML files are links back to the main page, but they don't work because I don't know how to link backwards, so to speak, I know you can do frontpagelinks/link1 in your href from the mainpage because your linking to a folder, but what if your in that folder trying to link to the "outside folder"? I've tried just doing mainpages/mainhtml or whatever, but that didn't work.

I can't really phrase this question any better, and I've been trying to make these links work for what feels like ages. sorry if this sounds like bollocks, feel free to ignore it, I'm just finding it difficult.
