I'm looking to redesign my website www.smarttonersolutions.com, and have looked at 3dcart and volusion. I want a whole new look and feel to the site and I carry about 8000 products. I also want a search feature like the google search for my site only. Any help and ideas would be appreciated. Feel free to PM me Erik
Remember that the cart is just the function. A lot of times once you install the cart, you will need to update the template or create a whole new template to get the look and feel that you are going for. No one really can tell you which cart to choose, you need to look at what features you need and how easy is it to expand if you need more features. If you are interested, you can check out my blog below and it shows some tips on hosted versus licensed shopping carts. Either way, you will still need to do a lot of design to get the site where you want it. Most carts do not provide a very good design template to work with. I am sure many designers here can help you out with it. Good luck.
drop shipping is the best for ecommerce shopping carts... i had doba and they handled all of that for me.
I have had several sites designed by ApogeeInvent...they do good work and have great service. Their pricing is not the cheapest, I would say mid-level but the pros make it worth it. www.apogeeinvent.com
ecommercetemplates is the best by far in my opinion. Great support, great features and functionality and can be integrated with any design.
