*nods* I agree. At the very least, it will pay my rent for another month of looking for clients. :) > What about using a service like GoDaddy's shopping cart or Amazon, > or even e-Bay? Something that's ready-made to be plug into or link to > from your site? Well, here's the thing.. If he said he wanted a website with some ecommerce setup in it (like a blog or gallery or some such besides some static pages), then I would do something like that. Probably using google checkout as I already have code to work with that. But he said he JUST wants the store. That's it. Nothing more then that except for the few pages of static content. So to me, copy and pasting a shopping cart with all those features, making a few tweaks (like cfqueryparam and such) is easier then trying to build all those functions from scratch. Shorter as well as he wants it within a week. So yeah. I could make it better.. I could make it more robust... But you know what as well? There's always phase 2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
