Mike,
We started work on our e-commerce business (and brick-and-mortar
business) in '99 and ShopSite was our first choice. We've tried demo
accounts with dozens of shopping carts and e-commerce systems but never
found something as easy to use that also allows us complete
customization (well, as complete as we need).
I own
www.2bigfeet.com, and we use ShopSite Pro, Stone Edge Order
Manager and Product Manager, and some offline html editors and image
editors. I manage the website by myself, and have other projects on my
plate so I can't spend all my time updating the site. ShopSite has been
great because I just created product and page templates and when I want
a new product or page I just put the data in and the page is
automatically generated.
The costs are relative... you can easily spend $100,000 to get up and
running. I've not found a solution as cost-effective and feature-rich as
ShopSite, and don't think there's one out there. We've been very happy
with SS and as long as they keep upgrading and adding features we'll use
them for years to come.
