why would it not work as a directory under the main site tree, i.e.: www.domain.com.au/shop/
.
I think developers are keen on a lightweight, simple to use and deploy
and template shopping cart system. ZenCart and osCommmerce are
terrible to both set up and use, so lose-lose IMHO.
Surely a simple shopping cart that is relatively genertic isn't THAT
complicated to do?

I am a pretty active magento developer and highly recommend it as
well.. but it really only suits those clients whose whole site is an
ecommerce solution. For example, take a look at a client of mine -
julesroc.com.au
I am working on a custom solution that allows ecommerce to be a part
of a clients website. So the first question I would be asking is
what are the needs of the client. A complete ecommerce solution or
an ecommerce component within their site.

I think it would be worth your while to go and check out Magento -
http://www.magentocommerce.com/
The makers of this product have done a great job of making it
standards compliant, as well as very usable. We're in the process of
integrating it into a new project.

My friend populated the shop at the time because he was savvy with
Photoshop and could do all the image work himself. But you could
as well end up doing that too if your client hasn't that knowledge.
That's what I am afraid of.
I think you should weigh your time vs. the fee your colleague
charges. You might want to learn ZenCart or another eCommerce
solution so you can do it in the future.
Thanks, Jens - will re-think if a cart is really necessary.
Kind regards
Lyn
