package, once again my experience. We bought foresite design's coupon
program, which we knew would never work with our modded version, to
get ideas. When I looked at how much recode would be needed, just for
fun, to use foresite's package I nearly passed out. I agree fusebox
will ease customization but you are limiting your audience by forcing
that framework on your clients. At that point and I for one would
refuse to purchase it simply based on the fact it uses fusebox. *Puts
on flame retardant suite* I also think it looks unprofessional, but
hey thats just me :)
Don't get me wrong premade packages have their usefulness. Companies
just starting out that don't know what they want like our company was.
Without the premade package my company probably would have never made
it onto the web and I would never have been hired. For $300 its worth
it, simply use a storefront out of the box to get something out there.
I mean lets face it even at minimum wage I doubt I would get a
complete shopping cart coded in $300 worth of labor hours.

It was written in Fusebox for that very reason, to make it relatively easy to customize. There are already a bunch of 3rd party add-ons available as well that you can basically just drop into it. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the right choice for everyone, there certainly are still cases where the needs of a specific site might work best with a custom solution. But so far the response I've got from users has been very positive, particularly those that have had to work with other products in the past.
