Hello:
Replying to my own post here, with more details (thanks Ron for the hint!).
I'm a seasoned web developer, but my experience is almost all in academia, so
I've never had to develop an e-commerce site (I'm doing this as a favor for a
friend).
My hosting folk are fully LAMP capable, so I can (probably) install anything I
need to get going.
The client has only a few items for sale, and would never grow beyond a few hundred.
There isn't much need for a full-blown CMS (at least for now, probably never),
but it would be great if the cart application could handle basic chores like a
main page, and drill down through categories to specific products.
Other wants/needs are:
Template and/or CSS-driven design options
Ease of use (for the merchant)
Security
Feature-rich shipping and payment options
Some more specific questions include:
What to look for as far as security goes?
What about payment options and gateways? Any opinions?
Support (both payed and free)?
I know this is a broad request, so thanks for your time!
