3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad., January 10, 2000

I have used numerous different e-commerce applications, and this is one of the more thourough versions that I have seen. Complete listing of unlimited items, graphic support, customizable templates, and much more is yours for a fraction of what an item with this many features usually runs. I would recommend this product to those who have a basic understanding of where they want their sites to go. A plan is a must with this product. A great way to get into e-commerce.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too early in the versions, December 23, 2000

While I found the concept and price in line with what I wanted to do, the implementation was another story. I did not have the ability to create enough branches on the tree structure to make my site the way it would make sense. Couple that with the product crashing often and rewriting my layouts and graphics made it very frustrating. Customer support wound up telling me to use the tool menu to rebuild the data base, (Not well covered in the manual) which does fix most problems but you have to do it over and over.... Their main response at the end after trying to give a lot of relevant feedback was that "this is only version 1.1, we're still working on it". Makes me wish they were not in such a hurry to get it to market. Bottom line: If you have a small shop with a few items, (12 for their instant store settings) then it will be fine. If you are doing a bigger store or have say 12 product lines or more, the known bugs will blow you out of the water and you need to look elsewhere. It just is not flexible enough or stable enough.
