Quickest way to bang out ecommerce sites???

[AGSmiff]

Ok, here I go sounding like a rooky again...

What is the easiest and quickest app to use if you want to create an ecommerce website? or in my case create lots of similar ecommerce websites but all selling different products.

Each site will sell between 15-40 products.

I am currently using Joomla with Virtuemart but find it slow to manipulate the template to look different for the next site and then process all the new site content...

Any suggestions? A drag and drop solution with templates would be nice? (if there is such a thing?)

Cheers,

Andy

We use cube cart & once I got the hang of it I found it very easy to create new sites quickly.
new templates are very cheap - £10 or so if you can't be bothered but they are easy to edit

most of the time consuming stuff is really easy to copy over.

Not sure on the others though

Virtuemart can be quick if you know how ;)

I think he want more like a drag n drop ajax template.. I don't think so if any developer spent this much of his time on the back end.. lol

Actinic can be very fast to manipulate if you know html & css. They also have a very good support forum, which many of the developers belong too.

There are also loads of people who design themes if you dont like the "out of the box" templates.

Good luck.

We have used X-cart since 2000, but Magento looks great if the server can handle it. Zen cart looks ok also.

X-cart and Zen cart have some nice templates, make sure you do some SEO work, we had some very good organic SEO when we used mod_rewrite to convert all of the page names from ...home.php?id=10 to ...name_of_product.php, I know I am stating the obvious to a lot of readers but for others thought it may help.
