Need assistance setting up an e-commerce site

    I have an existing website which is built using shtml and css.

    I want to add a sub-section to this website which will automatically pull products, descriptions, pricing, etc... from one distributor.

    This is not something with which I am familiar, so I would like to contract with an experienced person to complete the project and guide me into operations.

    If you are interested in this project, please PM me with your professional biography.

    Thanks!

    Will

    Will,

    You might want to add the sort of platform (Apache, IIS) and language your host supports.

    Excellent point, thanks TOPS!

    The host will be run FreeBSD6 and Apache 1.3.

    I'm root, so the host can run whatever it needs to run to make this work.

    I don't do Windows. :)

    The distributor makes a database available, but I do not yet know the details. I do not know if the interface is XML, HTTP, FTP, etc...

    I have not officially signed up with the distributor yet. I need to get the new corporation registered, and I've been slacking. :eek:

    It appears that I should bump that up on my priority list! :)
