Hi
I'm a freelance website designer in Gateshead, and have just completed my first ecommerce project (Masonic Jewellery (http://www.masonic-cufflinks.co.uk)).

The site is using the PayPal shopping cart as the client is unsure of the intial turnover of the site and was a little wary of paying a monthly fee for merchant services.

My next project is something on a larger scale, the client sells home furnishings and has several hundred items to list online.

I have been advised that JShop is an excellent ecommerce package for customising to match your site layout. I've tried Zen Cart and OScommerce but find them way to clunky to be able to customise to any degree.

Has anyone had any experience with JShop? Any advice greatley appreciated.

Yes i have it uses a .tpl file template system similar to cubecart it is a nice piece of kit jshop but i find it a little pricey, but i am biased because i am a lover of cubecart ver 3.xx i can design a skin in photoshop and the like and apply it to cubecart in a day maybe 3 for a really complicated design. There are loads of people writing mods for cubecart at really resonable prices, pennies really. Take a look www.cubecart.com if you need any advice mail or pm me. I know it back to front if you have a design i can implement it.

Good luck

One site that I'm currently trying out is

http://www.seoscotland.co.uk/onlinestore.html

It was bought by eBay just last year and has tons of potential.

The packages start from just £3.97 per month.


The next cheapest package includes:


integration with dreamweaver and flash for customisation
unlimited products
brand new domain name
webhosting
free ebay integration
free integration with Paypal
and loads more features that would allow you to sell products online


The first month at the moment is completely free for you to try out.

Isn't it just for US sellers?

I'd be curious to know how you get on, it looks interesting.
