Best way to make this website/tool
zpyder:
First up, my coding skills are at the level of "not completely a beginner... But need a pre-made thing I can tweak a few bits of code in" level. I can dabble and play but don't have the foggiest when it comes from doing stuff from scratch. With website stuff I tend to try and find WordPress stuff that fits the bill.
Right, the thing I want to do. It's pretty basic...
I want to be able to have a couple of drop downs (or similar list selection tools) where you choose 2 items. Two photos then are displayed side by side.
Basically I want to make a photographic comparison tool that is dynamic in the sense of showing the items based on user input.
I've had a quick look and seen some before/after WordPress plugins but I don't think these have the capability of allowing dynamic user selection.

Take it your looking at the PHP front?
What do you want to do once you have the images side by side?

Not sure what I'm looking at to be honest, it's the reason I'm asking, whether php is the way to go or something else.
As to what happens when the images are side by side, nothing really. The idea in my head is a simple visual comparison tool. I guess the content needs to be dynamic enough that once you select two items, you can swap other things in and out.

You can do this in pure Javascript if your just dumping images onto the browser with no saving or anything.

You can do that for both or work in more things like a visual compare..

Yeah, I'd be looking at a pure JS solution, there's no need for a complex PHP backend just for a simple image compare tool
