  1. Joel, I have watched several of your videos….very informative, – which
    system would you recommend for setting up and storing customer information,
    purchase habits, and inventory tracking?

  3. Really helpful. Thanks. If you were looking for an off-the-shelf package
    for an e-commerce site what options would you suggest I look at now (June
    2010)?

  4. Thanks for the great info! I have designed a few websites, know HTML. My
    questions is; Can I buy a template for Web Expressions, build my site, and
    then attach my Zen Cart or NOP Commerce to it?

  5. Good review. I think shopify is a good bet as you said; its got such a cool
    shopping cart flow. That’s so important for conversions, and its hosted
    too, so no hassles there with ssl’s and security. Go with an open-source
    solution, and you might end up having to pay more to a developer to set all
    permissions and security patches on a server.
