I Need Help FAST! Search-Engine-Friendly Shopping Cart

I need a buy-it-once (not monthly payments), search-engine-friendly (static HTML/CSS product pages, etc.) shopping cart solution by Thursday (Sep 18, 2003) that behaves as described below.

When a "customer" directs their browser to the client's home page (index.html), the "customer" is presented with several main business categories from which he may select items to purchase. These main business categories are represented on the home page via simple HTML links.

Upon selecting some of these main business categories, the "customer" is immediately prompted for their unique username and password. If the "customer" enters a valid username and password combination for that particular main business category, then that "customer" is presented with the first of many product pages associated with that particular main business category. You can see an example format of the product pages via the link: http://www.helpfulproducts.info/example/2.html (note the links to the example SUBcategories on the left). The "customer" is then able to submit an order for any or all of the items in that particular main business category. The "customer" shall not be able to enter or see product pages for any other main business category unless their unique username and password combinnation is also authorized on other business categories. The client will provide each "customer" of this type, via regular mail or other means, a unique username and password combination that the client will log into the shopping cart administration screens of the shopping cart software.

Other main business categories listed on the client's home page (index.html) do not require a login procedure until the "customer" has already shopped and "filled" the shopping cart via the associated product pages.

All visual features of the shopping cart software (i.e., all visual aspects of the shopping cart that a "customer" can see) must be customizable by the client with knowledge of only HTML and CSS - absolutely no other languages.


The shopping cart access needs to allow, for example:

* customer A to see all subcategories (e.g., sandwiches, frozen items, etc. as shown on the example product page) of ONLY the specified main categories (e.g., "main category 1" as will appear on the "index.html" page) accessible by customer A

* customer B to see all subcategories (e.g., sandwiches, frozen items, etc. as shown on the example product page) of ONLY the specified main categories (e.g., "main category 1" and "main category 2," etc. as will appear on the "index.html" page) accessible by customer B

Both off-the-shelf and REPUTABLE custom solutions will be considered. The shopping cart solution can be purchased immediately by credit card or other acceptable means.

Only responses that can provide references (names and phone numbers) will be considered. The intent is to purchase a shopping cart solution this week and have it online by Sep 20, 2003. Please call 9192225475 immediately.

I would highly recommend you check out this (mod edit: no self-promotion, please) It provides many features, but focuses a great deal of talent upon its search engine friendly features.

I hope this helps everyone.

What language are you looking for? Do you have your own server? There are some programs that you can install on a server as well to make it more "search engine friendly". That might be one viable option for you.

No offense, but this is a forum to exchange ideas & information. You should allow people to respond here in order to help people in the future. And the link your provided did not work correctly.

Since the mod took out the link in my previous post, you can review my signature which they can't touch. Or you can do a search for Apple Pie Shopping Cart.
