I assume this is in response to my comment about not pressuring a boss into a decision. Actually I was referring more to his dislike for ColdFusion, than the specific products in question. I guess it does depend on how much you really want to stick with ColdFusion. Hopefully you have a good feel for how much to push and when to let well enough alone. ;-) >As far as CFWebstore: I will need to approach with caution. I've already >mentioned it to him, and his main beef is that he doesn't see any "big >stores" using CFWebstore -- also because it's so inexpensive, to him that >means it must not be good. LOL, well yes, I definitely market more towards small-medium sites. The sample stores list on my website (under Demo) has most of my bigger, more popular sites, but they aren't exactly household names. Techronics for instance has tons of products and lots of traffic, but it's not Buy.com. Home Bistro is a fairly well-known mail order gourmet site (I knew of them before they even used my software) but they aren't quite as well known as some other places like Harry & David. Bridge Kitchenware is a very well known store with professional cooks that is running my software as well, but they haven't gotten their site updated and redesigned yet, so I don't have it listed right now. And sites like Clean Run and DogGoneGood are only well known to those of us that are into dog training! And yes, I've been told more than once that my software could be priced higher. But frankly, I think most ecommerce software is over-priced, and I like being able to offer something for the smaller stores and merchants that can't afford what some of the "name-brand" software are charging. I might not be able to offer things like 24/7 phone support as a result, but most of my customers don't complain...they don't mind waiting a little longer to get someone that knows what they are talking about versus some off-shore tech support that's useless anyway. ;-) >I notice that Tumi.com (they're an up and coming luxury luggage maker) is >using some kind of Fusebox app, anyone know exactly what store they're >using, or is it built internally? Hhm, that's certainly not a typical Fusebox application, and not any software that I've run across. Looks home-grown to me. You could always email them and see if they'd tell you for sure. ------------------------ Mary Jo Sminkey Author of CFWebstore, ColdFusion E-commerce software http://www.cfwebstore.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229748 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
