I don't a CMS (content management system) is what you are looking for. Over the past 4 years, I have created about 5 ecommerce sites and I never once bought a product. This was due to the fact that my clients had very specific needs and there was no "out-of-the-box" solution that fit their needs. So I ended up developing each one myself (reusing existing whenever possible). I guess it all depends on the product. Do some research and see if you can find something that will work with your needs. If not, you may have to bite that bullet you were referring to and do it yourself. I would have no problems helping. Just email me directly. Mark

The client wants a site with similar funtionality as http://www.vacationrentals.com I have done one dymamic website, using ASP in Dreamweaver but there is no adding or editing or deleting of data in the database by anyone except me. If the client needs changes, I make them locally in MSAccess and the upload the database to replace the one on the server. I sort of stumbled my way thru that, learning as I go, but many things are still fuzzy. I have also worked with a shopping cart (Shopsite)which was pretty easy. My question is, do I need a CMS for this kind of site? Is there one that is equivlent to Shopsite, basically all set up and I just have to tweak it? Or do I just bite the bullet, teach myself ASP or PHP/MySQL (I have a book) and create what I need? Or am I taking on too much for someone who has done mostly static sites and is still struggling with CSS!! Any advise would help. And if there are any volunteers to be my mentor if I must struggle thru it, I would appreciate it.
