But, in principle, given a common basic design(or any number of pre- existing design choices) mixed with a selection of color and styling, it's possible to automatize the setup of those individual apps(each corresponding to a store). > The things to watch out for: > 1) will these be separate domain names?

Perhaps, but automation really is key on this project. I'll have a deeper look into Sachtmo now. It attracts me as a solution mainly because my framework preference is always django. > Hope that helps, and if anyone else can find any holes in what I just > explained, let me know because at this point its still theory as we've only > implemented the first storefront so far, and the rest is just moving forward > as if my ideas will work...yipes... It was very helpful. Will post more once I know more. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
