My company is about to build new dynamic e-commerce sites and I don't think
anyone's too sure about how it's going to be built.

We have a company building a database around MS Access and contacts have
been made with a company called Actinic to create the online shops.

My experience has been in building html in fragments around a Java driven
engine (if that makes sense) using a text editor.

I have heard some good reports about Coldfusion and I'm trying to figure out
what we'd need, in terms of software,  using an Apache server.

I figure we'd just need just Coldfusion Studio to create a dynamic site +
something to build a shopping cart.

The way I see it you need a server, a database, software to access the data
and html to make sense of it.

Am I making sense? Anyone got any experience with Actinic? (my impression :
it will take too much control) Do you know of any good shopping solutions?
(not a low end solution).

I'm just a humble html-er but I'm interested in the backend stuff and don't
want this company driving down a cul-de-sac
