I've recently started to use drupal with the ubercart module. It's
really easy to set up and it's pretty easy to theme too.
drupal on its own is a great cms. Download the whole package from
ubercart though http://www.ubercart.org/downloads The deluxe package
includes drupal and some extra modules.
I would steer clear of zencart - not keen on that software at all. Not
very easy to customise.

Hi Joe,
Can you recommend a shopping cart system that is easy to set up and
use, be it open source or not? Trying to make a decision myself at
the moment and would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Cheers
Paul

why would it not work as a directory under the main site tree, i.e.:
www.domain.com.au/shop/<http://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.

Do the free [shopping carts] (such as ZenCart and OsCommerce) do an

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
