I am trying to think of a way to develop the following type of application...I want visitors to be able to create flyers, postcards, etc. with dynamic content that they either upload themselves or pull off of the server. I want them to have both of those options. The flyers, postcards, etc. layouts will be created in advance and the visitor will upload to designated areas on the layout. I invision the layout appearing on the screen with buttons at the locations where they are able to change data. When they push the button a popup appears with a field for uploading and below that a list of content that is stored on the server that they are able to choose from. Once they fill in all the info. they will click create and be taken to a page that offers the option of creating a PDF or an email. Ideally I would like them to be able to send the email version right from there.
I have been tossing around the language I would want to do such a thing in. I am much more an HTML jockey than a PHP or javascript guy. I was hoping that there might be a way I could use dreamweaver combined with cold fusion to create something like this...? I've also considered using Flash.
How involved is a project like this? What would be the best language/mark up to use? Could DW/UD be used as a tool in creating something like this? Would Any other thoughts would be great too.
Looking forward to your responses!
Thanks!
