any programmers webdesign people here?

I'll be honest, unless you are skilled in this area, you'd be better off paying a web design to do it, otherwise you'll end up tweaking buttons and code and might make it look a real mess.

It looks like CSS has been implemented, some content also is generated via PHP.

Might not be the cheapest route, but it the long run, it'll be the best for your site, unless you plan to learn HTML, CSS, and web design packages in general.

PM me with an exact description of what you want and I may be able to help/do it for you for nothing.

well at the moment this is this years christmas menu which i was able to edit myself

but the form that people need to fill out dont match i cant seem to edit in cms

i'm hoping to edit the form

Ah right, so you just want to edit the names next to the input fields? And then I guess you want to change the values that are passed onto you when the user submits the form.

Basically you will want to access the page with the form on and just change these values using basic HTML. Unless I'm missing something else it doesn't seem too hard.

Does this help?

You will need to change the name and id of each input box as well as the label of the description

This the menu

Hmm,i tend to agree with isofa. This isnt basic level design and if you play with it,there's a fair chance it'll end up worse or not working at all.

ginjim

this is one part of the folder
Adults:
Melon '.$_POST.'
Duck '.$_POST.'
Cocktail '.$_POST.'
Mushrooms '.$_POST.'
Soup '.$_POST.'

Children:
Melon '.$_POST.'
Duck '.$_POST.'
Cocktail '.$_POST.'
Mushrooms '.$_POST.'
Soup '.$_POST.'


Main Courses:

Adults:
Turkey '.$_POST.'
Beef '.$_POST.'
Seabass '.$_POST.'
Goats Cheese '.$_POST.'


so can i just change the items on here?

ginjim

and here also this is an inc. file
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><label for="smallplates"><strong>Small Plates:</strong></label></td>

<td><label for="adults">Total Adults</label></td>

Sorry to dampen your enthusiasm to learn but it seems obvious to me that you do not have a clue how to modify the code on your live website. It could be very embarrassing if your Christmas orders were submitted incorrectly, due to you not knowing what you are doing! If you want to learn, do it on a test website and until you know how to change someone else's code, pay to have it done professionally.
