Dear Chris,
Try using the progam and then I think u will see that there is a huge
opportunity for someone willing to create a user friendly program. Take a
look at coolcart.com and there are some interesting ideas there. i.e. u
should be able to take code and past it into HTML for any kind of desired
look. Or at the least be able to customize templates with great ease. Able
Commerce has been such a time waster for me, I can't show the end result to
the client because its unacceptable and unfortunately I can't get into the
templates since they are encrypted. In this situation the client will not
pay another $1500 for open source. If u look at Able Commerces icons,
considering that the product has been out for years, I think u will see a
major opportunity for anyone willing to do something more elegant and
simpler to use. Cold Fusion is well respected now, u could do well just
hosting e-commerce sites administered via a browser like Miva at miva.com
