I've got Mals e at the moment, and its ok for what I have now, but I don't like having to paste individual buttons into my existing webpages, they keep drifting all over the place, plus there is no way to show that something has been bought if it is a one off. I want to develop a sepearte chunk of my site as the shop, and an option with more features will hopefully help
Hmm, Joomla. I hadn't really considered this. I just had a look at the main page for it and it all sounds straightforwards enough. I'm a bit fuzzy about these things though, is it really suitable for a person fairly new to non-wysiwyg applications? I'm more than happy to advance my knowledge of how these wretched pooters work, but I want to feel I have a hope of actually managing to convert my current website into a new system and then get it all patched back online again. |
Mals-e was hoiw I got into helping people with carts in the first place!
Arkwrights homebrew were using it, and it was just way to crude and manual for real shop use.
oscommerce is what they are on now, and this still has required me and to a degree them to tweak more php files than I think a beginner wants to do
Joomla/VirtueMart is less mature than oscommerce, but is a solution that is totally menu driven, I have put this on the rosewood farms site and one of my own.
On balance I am happier with that solution for a beginner than oscommerce. |

I use www.doteasy.com, the Unlimited Hosting package, which works out at around £5 something ($9.95) a month, and has lots of extras and support features for the beginner, and I believe it has a website builder too...yep, it does.
Though I use the Unlimited Hosting version, I used to use the $0 hosting with Doteasy, and I found it had everything I needed, I only upgraded for the extra webspace, this package only has 100MB, which is more than enough for most people, but I'm redirecting several websites to feesworld...and I'm not sure it'd be suitable for eCommerce. |
