FREE shopping cart script that works!

This is the deadly script: ecommerce shopping cart software by Zen Cart ecommerce solution (Okay, I admit, I was just joking about the "almost killed" part)

No I am not related to that website whatsoever, it's just that I tried out their script on my first commercial site and I felt it is one of the most user-friendly shopping cart scripts EVER, plus, It's FREE. What could be more sweeter than that?

I managed to install the script and customized my site within 3 days, which after which I took another 2~3 days to troubleshoot and test the links.

This is the final result:

Virtual Internet Marketing Library, Virtually Everything Here

What do you guys think of the site?

I created a wordpress blog using fantastico available on hostgator's Cpanel to advertise the site.

Right now it only has 2 items on it, I plan to have at least 10 by the end of this month.

Suggestions and comments appreciated!

Regards,
Ed

P.S.: If you decide to use their script, you'll need to frequent this site: Zen Cart(tm) Tutorials and FAQs . It'll help you solve much unresolved issues.

P.S.S.: Btw if you're worried about handling scripts and codes, fret not. This is my first time handling a script, and if I, a total newbie can do it, so can you.

P.S.S.S.: If you haven't decide on a way to earn money online, you may want to try walking this path that I took. Free feel to shoot me PM.s regarding this topic

    I'm confused. You say "I felt it is one of the most user-friendly shopping cart scripts EVER, plus, It's FREE. What could be more sweeter than that?"

    But your headline says the exact opposite: "This Shopping Cart Script Almost Killed Me"

    What?

      Gosh, I wanted to make it a paradoxical thing, but I guess I phrased it wrongly, point noted.

    Without getting into anything further, I just looked at your site and to be blunt, it looks poor.

    It looks very spammy to me and confusing. The graphics/pictures are not very professional.

    I would definitely improve the look of the site and make it clearer.

    This home page of yours is trying to do too much and ends up doing nothing.

    Not trying to be harsh, just straight to the point.

    Regards,

      Hey Sam,

      Graphics/pictures noted. I work on that, I was busy testing the basic functionality of the site (like ordering, payment, etc.) that I might have neglected the images.

      Doing too much which ends up doing nothing, kinda like aiming to catch every fish within the sea and you'll end up with nothing (niche marketing). Noted!

      Thanks again!

    zen cart is a mashed up pile of poop.

    I gave up after one look in its admin panel and opened an ejunkie account, which is worth every penny.

      E-junkie looks good, but for those who wish to have absolutely no cost, zen-cart is an option
