First off - here is my site




Basicaly its lacking in content but only because I've simply not been able to reach a decision as to how to show the content on the 'GAMES' page of the site.


As you can see, there is a small table which has an alphabetical listing A-Z of gaming titles.


Upon clicking any of those letters - I intend to bring up a respective list of gaming titles for that particular letter, i.e if the user clicked 'A' for example then the list would be..

Apidya
Altered Beast
A10 Tank Destroyer
Alone In the Dark
" "
" "


these titles would in turn, themselves be clickable links.


So clicking on Apidya would simply bring up the details of that game - perhaps screenshots, a mini review of the game (a small paragraph no more) and a link to a video of that game itself (which would be stored in the 'videos' page).


Should I use PhP (what im thinking of atm), Fireworks or CSS layouts to accomplish this ?


im just unable to reach a decision - hence been hesitant, slow and reluctant to 'go further' with the site development.


advice/tips/thoughts all accepted thanks
 
I'd use a combination of PHP and CSS. There's no need to separate them.

If you have a Database of said games, its easy to use PHP to bring out the relevant games upon clicking the link, and simply use CSS to style the entries returned by PHP.


Personally I'd also offer a search function, again if you ave a database of the games, this would be very easy to implement.

Yes, a template page fed by a database would mean you would have one page that did the work.

So PHP and mySQL for you I think.
