Okay, Im trying to create a small business website with a shopping cart. I have attempted this numerous times in the past without much luck. I know very little about web design, but am pretty good at photoshop, etc doing design work (been doing that for 15+ years).

So I tinkered with frontpage, golive, dreamweaver, etc and because I know nothing about coding, I basically quit.

Someone recently mentioned to me to do it through an ecommerce type place and theres basically nothing to it.

So i did a little searching and might have jumped the gun, but signed up with TMDHosting and got Magento.

But, now Im a little frustrated, it doesnt seem to be a drag/drop easy solution at all. I have a "theme" that I selected, but how do I go about changing text, images, etc on my homepage?

I think I may have just waisted $70 for a year... lol

Scott, whats are your requirements to the future store? Do you need to be able to modify the design easily? Is this the main criterion for the choice?

yes, like i mentioned, I do not know code very well. In fact, you can say I do not know it at all. What i would like is to be able to basically drag/drop if possible.

I have searched and found numerous themes/templates, and do not mind paying $100+ if I find the right one. But when I do, and the text/images need changed, Id like to to be able to do that very easily. I have tried magento and oscommerce, and Im more lost now than when I was playing around in Dreamweaver.
