Website / T Shirt Shopping Cart

Well it's been awhile since my last post, but I've got big news for the T-shirt company.  We just had our first 12 t shirts printed at a local screen printer.  And yesterday we called a company TheLogoLoft.com to start setting up the website.  

This will probably raise alot of questions so i'll go ahead and start knocking them out.

1.) How much did the t-shirt cost to print?
-Well the minimum order for each shirt was 24, and the price of each shirt cost between 8-10 dollars.  So yah big investment here.

2.) How much did the website cost?
-TheLogoLoft offers an Ecommerce package for $1500. This includes a professional logo, business card and stationery design, a five page website layout, and an awesome shopping cart called Magento. 

This leads me to what this blog is really about.  What shopping cart to you use.  I've read about a  hundred forum entries over at T-shirtforums.com about shopping carts, and people recommend different shopping carts.  As far as i've read Magento offers everything they want and then some.  It may sound like I work for Magento, but I don't.  Magento is an open source program so it's free.  

If you want to check it out more google it or check out this bit on TheLogoLoft website.

Alright more on this later when i get more familiar with it.
