I agree with Sam who told you to start with something simpler.
An ecommerce site is a complex thing, not to be taken lightly. It goes far
beyond simple html coding. If you "don't know big html words", how do you
expect to handle ASP, VBScript, server-side scripting vs user-side
scripting, secure transactions and all that?
One does not become a web developer by simply choosing the title. There's
real knowledge here that needs to be developped one step at a time.
Start with an easier first project, you'll have a better chance at success

who after 4 years of web development still won't handle ecommerce.

since I am just learning Front Page without a tutorial, if it allows me to
add a shopping cart or something that will allow customers to order online
via credit card. My merchant account is via internet only--well, ok, it
will be.
