I could offer a logical proof of this, but I find the empirical
evidence more convincing. People who are asking "Should I use
Dreamweaver to program my HTML?" do not have a good success rate at
delivering shopping carts a mere 4 months later. Some of them do
achieve it, but the results are rarely good, or secure.
No-one should be writing shopping carts these days. Most people,
including most web developers, just aren't skilled enough to do it.
Even if you were, you'd be too valuable to waste your time on
re-inventing such a task. It isn't '99 any more - there are now
_plenty_ of off-the-shelf solutions for this, no need to build your
own.
To the OP, find some hosting with a decent bundled cart. Build around
and customise that, don't start from scratch. Expect to pay real money
to a real web developer to achieve this (You wouldn't do your own
shopfitting, would you?). Look for recommendations from here or a.w.w.
for both.
