My Customers are Complaining! PLEASE HELP!

[Bear]

We are receiving phone call after phone call and email after email from
customers asking "When are you going to put new products on your website?".

I would like to learn how to have a group of pictures change or refresh to
new pictures, every time a customer comes to the page. For instance, the
customers arrives at my index page, clicks a link to ladies clothes and then
clicks a link back to the index page. I would like for the merchandise to
change, leaving the customer satisfied because they see some thing new.
Please help!

I am using FP2003 for building my website. I have also requested to be
notified of all replies on this topic. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Bear,

Sounds like you are using the wrong tool for the job. Take a look at http://www.candypress.com for your e-comm needs.

You can do that with ASP.NET and FrontPage 2003, but you'd be better off by
setting up an e-commerce storefront. My suggestion would be to check out
FrontPage Cart. (www.frontpagecart.com).

No matter which tool you use, do some research on the Internet about it.
Find out what other people are saying about it. Why do I say that? Because
setting up an e-commerce storefront takes a little time and you don't want
to do it twice if you don't have to.

That would irritate me a bunch. Means I can't go back to look at that
SuperWidget1000 I really wanted to see again. I'm not gonna sit there and click
through the entire rotation again.

What is being recommend here will cost you a minimum of $300 per year with the potential of $800 or more. Also, you're locked into
the that web server community and if service degrades what do you do? Owning your own cart with the ability to move hosts and change
the functionality is a great advantage over these types of arrangements.

I agree with Jim that you should check the cart out but first set down and list what features you require the cart to have. Next,
choose a few carts to see if they have the features that you require and compare the cost of ownership. Remember every dollar that
you have to give to a hosting company is a dollar out of your potential profits.

To learn more about CandyPress from the users that utilize it, versus the rhetoric on the net, check out their forums at

P.S. You can also download a fully functional cart to try out.
