    sorry boobs

    *start thread hijack...

    effour,

    Yeah. I'm trying to get my feet wet for a freelance project I have. I wont be shy and say i'm not sure what to look for when going through each platform... and we definitely don't want to be tied to a paid support system.

    my client has some pretty specific requirements though:
    -must be able to integrate with Quickbooks POS
    -will want gift registry services for the site
    -Will probably have a smaller inventory initially (50-60 items) but will eventually probably include their entire inventory (hundreds of items).

    Shipping and tax code will be strictly limited to US and locally in Vermont (where his business is run from), so I think we're OK there.

    As far as x-cart goes - I am by no means a seasoned developer but I will have a pretty talented developer working with me on this one. On the design side I am concerned about customizability of the site.

    -How painstaking is it to customize a site using x-cart?

    On the administrative side I am concerned about the dashboard: My initial reaction is that it is not as pretty/robust as others i've come across.

    How do you find your clients reacting to the x-cart dashboard?

    Sorry for the laundry list of Q's but i'm trying to be as well informed as possible before I jump into this lake ;)

    • Those are all good questions. The more elaborate we can take this discussion, the better.boobs
