My business partner and I are brand new to ecommerce, and our goal from the beginning has been to have a site that is clean, easy to navigate, secure, excellent SEO, and relatively easy for a newbie to learn how to operate and update without needing a degree.

Simply because we were overwhelmed with the amount of information out there, we settled on Network Solutions' pro ecommerce package, but since I stumbled on a post by a user who also has stores with Yahoo and Volusion (where he basically said his bounce rate is abysmal with NS to the point where he is considering dropping them altogether), I have been scouring the web for information, reviews and forums such as this to help get some perspective.

Can I get some opinions on "starter" ecommerce solutions? Should I stick with Network Solutions, or is it a bygone conclusion that they only have the ecommerce solution packages because they are "Network Solutions"? Can I get more for my money elsewhere?

I'd appreciate any responses - thanks so much!
