Couple of things that are pretty easy to implement if you design with
them in mind
1)Tell them who you (the company and site developer) are (names of
real people, if possible) and what you are about -- many customers like
know something about who they do business with.
2) Give them an

Well, it's a choice for me between letting people have full access to play with the demo, or turning half of it off so they can't do stuff that will create an error (like turning on a

Well, obviously I'm a bit biased. ;-) But you'll find the coding in CFWebstore much much easier to extend than AbleCommerce. It was written in Fusebox for that very reason, to

What version of fusebox is it done in?
It's done in FB3. At the time it was done, that really was the only viable option, particularly for support on CF5. I definitely want to upgrade it to FB4 (or 4.1) at some point, although I have concerns about it being considerably harder for newbies to

Thats definitely part of it. Its also the fact that it is using the

Sorry - no way I agree with that.I'd say about 2 to 4 % of users
ever look at the URL at all - let alone grasp the

I agree fusebox
will ease customization but you are limiting your audience by forcing
that framework on your clients.
Had to comment on this too...not matter what methodology I use, I am forcing that particular one on my clients. There's always going to be people that love it or hate it
One problem that I have is the company owner will come to me and want to
give free shipping on a particular type or brand of items. Sometimes
it's all dolls, sometimes all dolls made by a particular vendor. This is
one of my primary reasons for coding a custom cart. Has anyone else
