| I'm a graphic/web designer. I know HTML and I already created a website for my own company using Dreamweaver. The website is alive for half year now.I'm thinking of selling products online, in my website. I created a banner and menus using Flash but bottom pages are HTML. It looks like all together but it's actually separate. Question: I want to sell wedding favors and been having trouble finding the right solution for my site. Because as you see, wedding favors sell difference prices in different quantity. I know software gives you more control over things but I need to find my own eCommerce hosting. (I just have a regular hosting) However using online shopping cart (GoDaddy, Web.com and Yahoo), most companies offer eCommerce hosting with database backup. But price vary.... some so expensive plus one-time setup fee, some just very cheap looking. Please give me suggestion and idea. Thanks!! |

| The cheapest way would be for you to write your own site (there's source code for various shopping carts on the web - look around and get ideas), and a merchant account (talk to your bank for names or look around the web). |

| osCommerce and ZenCart are two of the more popular open-source solutions (and thus, free)My personal favorite though is Drupal (also open-source, and also free) and it's excellent eCommerce add-in product. It blows the above two away in both features and elegance of design. Being a programmer who has had to go in and make modifications to both themes (appearance) and modules (features), a day or two with ZenCart was enough for me. Thank goodness I was already familiar with Drupal so I could recognize bad design when I saw it.http://drupal.orghttp://drupal.org/project/ecommerce |
