Re: building an e-commerce webpage?

Gosh. Find a *package* first. I've built a couple of e-commerce sites from scratch, and you'd be amazed at how complicated they are. I only recommend it if the client wants a *very* oddball set up or has unique requirements. If its just, "I have a catalog, I have prices, I have discounts, I have customers, they come back," you're much better off with a packaged solution. Now that being said, I don't have any favorites among the dozens out there, and it will mostly have to do with what you want to do. Also, if its "customizable" (as opposed to being a plug-in libary), pick the language base you're most familiar with. There are lots of people who will say "*Never* use ASP" but if that's what you know, don't let them talk you into learning PHP as a requirement for getting paid for this project.

Good luck!
Buffy

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
