   [web] How do I create an online store?
  Hey all,Web design began as a hobby but has since turned into a little earner. On average i'm earning about £200 per website and i'm getting recommendations all the time. At the moment im pretty restricted to info-websites and portfolio's but I would like to start creating online stores for people that they can add and remove products to themselves. I know paypal I could use paypal merchant services but this isnt very user friendly and requires placing html in the codebase which most people wont be comfortable doing. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks for any responses in advance.   
  One word: Magento;  Magento seconded. We recently implemented a furniture distributor's online store, and while there have been growing pains, managing every single detail that goes into rolling your own ecommerce platform would be a nightmare unless you'd already developed a decent codebase. Use what's available to you.;  I should probably say at this point that im only a hobbyist web developer and I'm not quite sure I understand what "Magneto" does. A bit of a different question here but how can I use it with Dreamweaver?   ;  Short answer: You don't.   ;  Thanks for the link the website was blocked in work but this link has given me a lovely backdoor. Thanks again.   ;  You're welcome.Incidentally, I'm curious to know what software did the blocking, and what did this software categorize Magento's homepage as?;Quote:Original post by stormwarestudiosYou're welcome.Incidentally, I'm curious to know what software did the blocking, and what did this software categorize Magento's homepage as?I remember for a while when I was a sys admin for a company a lot of e-commerce software sites (zencart, oscommerce, magento, etc) were blocked as e-Commerce related (ie store) by OpenDNS if you used their blocking stuff.   ;  It was filtered as shopping, thats government systems for you. It can't be too brill because it does filter this website either and im sure the word game gets used in every thread.
