I want to make a site like this
carpoint.com.au (http://www.carpoint.com.au)
I really like the way It presents the information on cars, and when you click on a car you get more information and the ability to email the owner, you can also sort the cars how you like eg. by year/cost. Ide like to have the same features it has; users can add their car by filling out a form or an admin can add more cars.
Could someone advise me on what programs were used to make this site as ide really like to make one just like it, or can i buy it like i would a shopping cart software package?

The Web Site functionality was written in ASP.NET, a server-side programming language released by Microsoft a few years back.

Done properly, a Site like this would require professional programmers. Most likely, a team of programmers worked on the Site from the requirements gathered during the analysis phase, which involves gathering requirements and analysing business rules--much beyond the scope of this post.

However, the reality is, anyone in their bedroom could achieve something like this. Though, I highly doubt an e-commerce project would be successful done this way.

Your going to need to get some basic Web Design skills down for starters. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.

- www.w3schools.com will get you started.

You could also outsource the work and hire some developers to get the job done (could be pricey, depending on the scope).
