Online Commerce

This software/website was created for an individual who wanted to open an online e-commerce website but found the available software too complicated. It is a well know fact that modern software products suffer from 'bloat'. This is because a feature set has to be included to accommodate all users. This means that most users only ever use 10 - 20% of the features available and this makes software 80 - 90% more complicated than it needs to be.

Home page
This entire e-commerce website configures itself from a single set of database entries (see below). The website looks like any other e-commerce website except that it is many times easier to use and set up because it was written to fit the owner's specifications.
