texte = I've been lurking on this list for a few days to try and get some idea of what WebCatalog is about.It sounds like a very robust piece of software and I like what I read about it on the Starnine site.But I have some questions. These probably seem like very basic questions to many of you and it would probably be best if you respond privately to
to avoid clogging up the list.I am developing a Web site for a client who will eventually have a commerce database containing 10s of thousands of items for sale. He will need a system that can interface with the database, give the customers a shopping cart and process orders. Pretty basic, right? I haven't looked beyond that for any bells and whistles, but I'm open to suggestions.Do you think WebCatalog is the best solution? Why? What experience do you have with other commerce systems?If I were to install WC (most likely on a Mac, but possibly an NT), and it was working primarily as the commerce system for this large commerce site, could it still be used for other commerce sites? Can it serve multiple domains? Is there any additional cost for adding domains it serves?Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?What do you think is the best way to create the database? FileMakerPro? Or something else?What do you think of a Lasso/FilemarkerPro commerce server solution? It's less expensive. Do any of you have any experience with it? Is it robust enough?It seems, based on reading this list, that customizing WC takes some time, experience and knowledge. Can it be an out-of-box solution, or must it be customized?Finally, if I wanted to hire you to set up this commerce site for my client using WC, how much would you charge me/him? (Customers need a section where they can click on featured items and be given a chance to read more about it and then add it to their shopping cart or search the database (of 10s of thousands of items) and add what they want to their shopping cart. So, I'm collecting bids on setting this up. If you are making a bid, you might want to include a very brief resume and some URLs showing examples of your work.Best, H.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Howard Owens howard@companytown.com
