Shopping Cart Creator

I tried there HTML editor before purchasing Dreamweaver CS5. I did not care all that much for there HTML editor.

There HTML editor I tried was from this URL.

I personally did not care for it after playing around with it for a few days. Before that I had used "First Page" for years from http://www.evrsoft.com/

I'm sure there is nothing technically wrong with the coffeecup html editor, it was just a personal thing.

After using Dreamweaver CS5 demo for a few weeks I decided it was the editor for me.

If you do try there shopping cart I would be interested in hearing what you think of it. Have you check out the dreamweaver exchange site for shopping cart programs?

I tested Shopping Cart Creator (retail $49) about a year ago.

It's a simple to use, stand alone product that works on your local computer.

• Choose a template from one of the basic layouts.
  
• Create categories.
• Add product and shipping details.
• Insert ONE image per product.  (Only one? Yup!)
  

The software generates pages in PHP and writes product details to an XML file. No need for server-side databases.  But for shops with more than 50 products, a database might be preferable.

Payment processing choices are PayPal, Google Checkout or Authorize.net.

After your shopping site is created, you can open pages in DW or any other HTML editor.

I think this shop would be OK for a small start-up business with very few cart requirements. But IMO it's not flexible enough for medium to large shopping sites.

Test drive before you buy.

OTOH, if you want a full-featured shopping cart that works within DW, look at Cartweaver http://www.cartweaver.com/
