I did it using
www.v-petsite.com. A relatively easy to use game creation site, but I don't think it would work for what you want to do.
You'll probably either need to
A) Start looking into what you need to learn to put a site like that together (it probably is very complex. I'm not sure what exactly is involved, though.
)
or B) Hire someone else to do it.
I'm sure I've forgotten to mention something important, because I always do.
This is my recommended course of action to "learn to put a site like that together":
1) Learn html. I highly recommend the book
Creating Web Pages Bible by David and Rhonda Crowder. $40 in print, but I've got a pdf ebook copy that you can have.
2) Learn css. Google around, there are heaps of great tutorials.
3) Learn javascript. I recommend the book
Javascript: Premium Edition published by Sybex.
4) Learn dhtml: how to combine css and javascript to add some extra flare to your website. The above book covers it in great depth, and
http://www.dynamicdrive.com has tons of examples to browse.
5) Learn sql and how to use a database: Google for tons of examples. I would recommend that you focus mainly on mySQL.
6) Learn php.
http://www.zetcode.com has some great tutorials.
7) (Optional) learn java if you want highly interactive, graphical 2d or 3d games. Tons of resources on the web for java.
http://www.zetcode.com covers 2d graphics fairly well.
Of course, if the above is to difficult for you: TM Chickens Programing Co, at your service!
I have an fairly expert knowledge all of the above, and have made quite a few games/websites before.
