The example templates seem to be only for schools, groups or blog type web sites.
Will Coffee Cup software allow us to create a web site suitable for selling our products (Mom and Pop operation)on line?
If so, which programs do we need to buy? Will one do it or will we need a combination of software to accomplish our goal.
We are flat out rookies looking for a wysiwyg program.

THANK YOU,

Hi prv8eye,
in my opinion the best damn wysiwyg program is Coffeecup's Visual Site Designer,If you'd like a flash banner or simular then I would get Flash Firestarter as well, and Html Editor 2008. but if you click on the break room you can see the many other sites made with coffeecup products, then only limitation is you, in a nice way of course. What you will need can not be suggested by anyone individual, you have to decide har your willing to go, and how you want it to look. Others have made an ecommerce site just look around and see for yourself sir.

Bruce,

Thank you VERY much for your info and the quick response.
I'm on my way to download what you suggested.
Again, THANK YOU. I've been searching for weeks and you FINALLY gave me the answer to my quest.

I am also attempting to build an e-commerce site, ideally with integrated e-commerce (shopping cart) functionality. I am using Visual Site Designer to create my web site, and VSD is a cool tool for that purpose. I have taken a look at Shopping Cart Creator, and though it is also a clever tool, it does not provide the integrated e-commerce functionality that I am looking for. CoffeeCup is working on a new tool - Shopping Cart Designer - but I'm not convinced that tool will offer the integrated functionality I'm looking for, and it is not available yet.

I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has about creating an integrated e-commerce capability using VSD and any other tool(s). I have seen that there are a number of reasonably priced shopping cart software packages available but I haven't been able to determine how well they might integrate with VSD. I'd like to hear of someone who has actually accomplished this successfully.

Of course I am trying to build good e-commerce capability into my site without being an HTML or Java programmer - that's why I'm using VSD. That may be a tall order. Though I would prefer to "do it myself" at a visual (wysiwyg) level, I am willing to consider hiring somebody to help me integrate the shopping cart functions into my site at the code (HTML) level if necessary.

I look forward to hearing (reading) anyones' suggestions.
