Hello! I am a beginner web developer. I can use HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, MySQL, Wordpress...all as a beginner. These are the technologies I want to use to develop the website.

I have not worked on any major project. I just accepted a challenge to develop a real estate property website for a company within 2 months. I accepted this challenge to get my skill off the beginner level.

Please where do I start from ?

What I have tried:

I am presenting taking a short video course on developing an e-commerce website. And I am delving deeper into the technologies I mentioned above.

Not realistic.
It's like learning to drive a car by winning this year's championship of Formula 1.
Plan 1 year to start mastering all those techniques plus a few other techniques related to programming, then start the real project.
a few topics to add to your list:
- Learn databases administration and design, it is more than learning SQL language.

- Master some analyze methods, Dijkstra Top-Down method is a good start.

Thank you for your answer. I don't expect to build the entire websites from scratch in 2 months all by myself. I would make use of themes, plugins etc. I want to get this done even if i have to use themes, plugins etc.
Start with a specification: something that you and the company can agree is what they wanted. If you don't have that, you don't have any way to agree what they wanted is what you have delivered.

So start by looking at similar sites, and working out what works and what doesn't. Talk to the company, and find out how they see it working. Come up with some ideas on how the whole site will look and feel (without too much focus on it's actual appearance) and either they or you need to document that so you can all agree.

When you have that, you can start looking at technologies - but not before. And the spec should start leading you into the design of the whole system within a set of technologies.

BTW: What on earth do you think an e-commerce site has to do with real estate? Are you expecting people to buy a house on PayPal?

Thank you. I have the specification, using similar sites like zoopla.co.uk, rightmove.co.uk.
