Shopping Cart Websites/E-Commerce Help

Hi all,

I run a small business in northern alberta, canada. And I've for a few clients that want Shopping Cart websites. I am fairly fluent with asp3 I've made a shopping cart website (http://www.mitchellmatula.com/apps/chestnut/) demo, using SQL Server 2000 and ASP3 using stored procs.

Now im wonderingm since I have this MSDN Subscription, and I've installed Visual Studio 2005, and played around with Visual Web Developer Express... Should I remake my websites in ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 from scratch? It's alot of work for just 1 guy to make a full featured shopping site thats dynamic and customizable to multiple clients.

So my question is, Does anyone know of any decent premade e-commerce sites that have the basic skeleton of a shopping site in ASP.NET 2.0 w/ Admin Features? If so would you use a pre-made Shopping Cart site? Or code it from scratch.

I could make mine from scratch, but seeing as a pre-made one from a company is already high in features, relativly tested already and bug-free it would save me alot of time and get my clients up and running alot faster.

Or should I just finish my existing semi-dynamic asp shopping cart site and use that for my clients, even though it's old technology.

Thanks alot, appreciate any info.

just a quick search on google would return hundreds of hits

all of the languages in the dotnet framework are OOP languages, why dont you create one shopping cart and re use it for all clients?

Good luck
I've called maybe 15 of those companies, and maybe browsed another 40... lol. SO many and some have no-source code, some are messy, some are low features, some dont have what i need, and the better ones are forcing peopel to pay for hosting too. I wana be able to host it on my dedicated server...
then your best option is build your own and re use it for the other projects/clients, plus its a chance to learn something new :-)
yeah, I suppose your right. I'm just sooo busy with all my other clients that this one's gunna take up alot of time... I'm thinkin of hiring someone to help out since business is growing... might be an option now.
