adding an online store - is it worth it?

[Agnes]

Hi David (and all) -
Thanks for all your suggestions - they have helped me greatly in working out
bugs in my website. There's still a few other things I'd like to try - but I
am wondering; do you think it's a good idea to build an online store using
publisher? At the moment, our website has our products then contact info to
order - but not sure if having an option to order online would be better and
if yes - should I use publisher or just start over with something else?

Thanks again,
Agnes

It can be done. You'd really just need to put some thought into it before
hand to decide if Publisher can afford you the level of functionality you'll
need. Which depends greatly on what store provider you use. I'd suggest this
first step....
visit my page http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=29 and go
towards the end of the list and look for karma music and karma design group.
karma music is a store done in Publisher, in fact you can get a template at
my page http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=83 courtesy of karma
design. Look that over and then visit the contact page at karma design and
write to Mike. Tell him I sent you. He has offered to try and answer any
questions from Publisher peers that I direct to him. Get his story and
experience with using Publisher in this venue.
