    Default Need help!!! A forever changing list in a website....

    Hello everyone,

    I'm reaching out for assistance in this unique encounter I've had with a client and hoping some of you have already gone through this scenario.

    I have a Pizzeria site that I have done and on one of their pages they have a beer list, a VERY extensive one. This beer list changes monthly, again, very extensively. In the meeting, the person I met with wasn't sure but believes the list is compiled/edited in Excel. I'm wondering how do you put this on a page, where I'm not having to retype the list every single month but can instead input their file they email to me, right on the page. I know how to add a file such as PDF file, etc, but I need the list to be a visible full list, and not something the viewer clicks to download.

    I have the sample site i'm building here: www.allaroundpizza.tazzanderson.com and the beer listing page is on there now, but I just converted one of theirs to a three part jpeg, which I don't really want to do.

    Any insight on ideas would be great, thank you in advance.

    Just to rephrase part of that above. They had an old website that I have redone. I took their beer list off their website, which appeared to be an Excel document, and I converted it to a Jpeg image on my new page. Their document was in three parts...
    They want their site with a mobile friendly version, which complicates my mind even more as to how I get this beer list on it, effectively.

    Thanks,
    Tazz

    Use Google Drive. Create the spreadsheet and then go Publish to the Web.
    In Xara create a placeholder to load the sheet.
    The sheet will be a bit wide for a mobile but it will horizontally scroll.
    If you give access to the sheet to the client they can update it as often as they wish.

    More detailed:


    You can edit this sheet. The changes aren't instant, remember the sheet is only republished at 5 minute intervals. HERE

    My pleasure Tazz. I created the video & spreadsheet a few months back but couldn't find that post so I just recreated it.
