Hi all, I'm considering getting my website done professionally.
It's only a small one (11 pages) which I've done myself using Dreamweaver and Fireworks.

I'm using FastCart for my shopping cart but from what I can see I can only use it for customers to order pre-set products and quantities. A bit like PayPal where there's no quantity list to select.

I don't know scripts (only html) and I believe I'd need cgi scripts on my server to handle <form> elements on my website to allow customers to select different quantities. Right?

I sell 4 products but if customers which to order different quantities I'd have to create a link (text/image) for every combination. Well that's what I think anyway.

I've done it myself to keep costs down and it is working but I think a more professional image with easier shopping may improve sales further.

I won't put up my website but if anyone would be kind enough to give me their opinion of my (homemade) website, (please PM me and I'll give it to you) I'd really appreciate any first impression comments.

And as the thread says...anyone know of a very good web design company??

Thanks
.co.uk :D

I could recommend a lot of designers, but what kind of budget are you allowing?
 
I use fastcart and it's fine for me, my customers order different quantities. It's a good system especially linkined into worldpay.

I'd stick with it if I were you buddy,

All the best

Hi GreyWing, yes I've found it very good. The problem is 1 of the products I sell is cheaper if purchased with another product. And some products go via Royal Mail (£5 delivery) but if ordered with my main product it goes free (with my courier). Kinda gets a bit confusing...maybe I just need to sit down and lay it out as simple as possible!

I'm using FastCart with WorldPay too and it is very good alright. Even cheaper if you open your WorldPay account separate from FastCart. Only £4 a month! :D
 
I don't think there is one single best webs design company. Often I find most web design companies have not a bamboo about domain development, monitaization or seo etc - its just plain old let my designer bash out a pretty photoshop template for you and worry about the rest later..
