New to HikaShop/Joomla, what's are my first steps?

Hello,

My name is Peter and I very new to Joomla and even newer to Hikashop. I am in the process of opening a tropical fish shop with an online presence. The way I want to present fish on my website is have a list of major categories. then the shopper can select the category and shop within that category.

I went through a "getting started" tutorial that showed you how to enter a product and order it. Wow!! Very impressed.

I am confused on how to start. Do add all my categories in Joomla then HikaShop or only Hikashop. Than, once I add categories do I just begin to add products under that category.

I am having trouble following tutorial because I don't have sufiecient knowledge in Joomla to know how to read HikaShop tutorial, but I feel that if with trial and error and a some help from this community I will have success.

If you can suggest some additional beginner tutorials, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Nicolas,

Thank you. My host provides an opportunity to add another site for just 5.00 usd per month, I have done that so that I can have a live envorinment to practice. Additioanlly, with HikShop I have added some categories and some products associated with those categories. I am a bit confused as to which tutorial to follow in the "Content display on front end" tutorial. I am first going to do "Listing of categories with a menu" and see what happens.

I have also bought Joomla! book, and I am reading the links you suggested. I am also upgradng to HikasShop Essential.

Thanks,

Peter
