Shopping Carts

If you have a product or service you want to sell over the Internet, a shopping cart is the solution. However not all shopping carts are the same. There are many great shopping carts out there but you must remember that out of the box scripts usually take time to modify to meet your particular product or service which can include design changes, color schemas or custom add on modules and scripting. Although most carts today have a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors for adding text, it still takes knowledge and design skills to change and modify an overall look and feel to a web site. These changes require a highly skilled professional designer / programmer and can cost you thousands of dollars to get the cart the way you want it. Remember there is nothing for free!
