Just wanted to give the folks over at aspdotnetstorefront.com a quick plug for both their excellent software and their outstanding support.
I've been using their package for over 5 years now, and it just keeps getting better and better. Out of the box it supports (just a few of the features):
- Customizing of products (see: www.bestfriendsstudios.com for an example)
- Mult-Lingual capabilities
- SEO optimized
- Built-in sitemaps
- Feeds for submitting to product search engines (google base, etc.)
- Complete web administrative site
- Automated image processing (upload one file, the system automatically creates thumbs, medium and large images)
- Verified by Visa / PABP certified
- Multiple payment gateways supported
- Can run on shared/virtual private servers
- Integration with Quickbooks is available
- Uses skinning system, allowing for complete customization over the look and feel of the site
- Real time shipping rates from UPS, USPS, Fedex, and more
- Source code is available ... I've used this to build out a freight shipping rating system to supplement the built-in functionality
And while I rarely have issues with the software, when I do, I've received prompt, courteous, and intelligent replies from their tech support staff. I've never received a "you're a dumb###, why did you do this" reply from them, even though I might have warranted this ... <G>. I used to build out my own shopping carts (the much missed (by me) wholesaletradeshow.com was one of my efforts), and I can't begin to describe how much AspDotnetstorefront has helped me.
And no, I don't work for them, just use their software! Have a great weekend!
