Shop Maker
eCommerce
Software SHOP MAKER (previously Shop Builder) is a shopping cart
solution for business which allows your online shop to actually
work. Customers can browse around your website/shop, select what
they want to buy, put it in the virtual shopping cart, and then
pay you online. If you'd like to sell stuff online, this is the
kind of thing you need, described as "a professional, easy
to use shopping cart system", Shop Maker was originally
written in 2001 by Richard Grove of Red Eye Media when there was
a shortage of usable shop systems. Of course this has meant that
Shop Maker has got a good head-start, and because SUPPORT is high on
the list of priorities, you can buy this software safe in the
knowledge that you'll not be left stuck without technical support".
In the words of Shop Maker: "Shop Maker was originally written in 2001 by Richard Grove of Red Eye Media and was called Shop Builder. In 2001 there was a shortage of usable shop systems. The few that were available were either lacking in usability, functionality or were too complicated and bulky to configure and set-up. The aim of Shop Maker was, and still is, to offer small to medium sized businesses an affordable, powerful, fast and easy to use e-commerce shop system".
Small to medium sized business? Is that you? If so, this may be what you are looking for.
"Shop
Maker has seen many improvements since its creation and now
boasts ease and power packaged in a light weight shop system that
is usable on the majority of web servers. We listen to people and
are always happy to receive feedback from users. By listening and
acting on feedback, we have turned Shop Maker into an extremely
usable and powerful system.
Shop Maker will
always be a work in progress that will continue to evolve,
accommodating changes in the e-commerce standards. We specifically
aim our product at the UK marketplace because we understand that
businesses want and need support via telephone. Support is a real
priority with us. We realise how frustrating it is when you want
to ask a simple question but there is nobody to talk to. We are
on hand to offer help or advice by telephone. To conclude, Shop
Maker is not just a shop system, it is a complete online trading
package made up of the tools, advice and support needed to get
your business online and trading".

Oh go on then, let's mention the technical stuff:
"Shop
Builder is written purely in PHP and uses MySQL database. PHP has
become so popular in the last few years that
it is now the
language of choice for the majority of experienced web
programmers. Its speed and flexibility makes it better than ASP
or any language that is used to create CGI scripts. Most servers
are running on a *NIX platform with PHP & MySQL installed
which makes PHP the obvious choice for reaching the widest
audience".
...which means that it's made speaking the same computer language that most computers understand (such as yours at your ISP). It also means it's likely to still be working in many years time. [More]>
