Thanks for all the replies and advice. I guess it is time for an update.
The objective is to create a site that supports my initiative to save old and classic cars, and to encourage people to keep their existing cars for longer. This will be a massive help to the environment, as manufacturing and distributing an average car produces more pollution and environmental damage that is created during it lifetime of use. This site will proivide a source for spare parts anbd recoverable vehicles, and link to articles and videos to help users maintain their vehicles. This domain is just one in a collection that I am constructing. I want to include Bitcoin, and information on Bitcoin, as I believe that Bitcoin is a major asset for people who decide to live on the fringe of the dystopia that is being created at the moment.
Creating a website from scratch has become impractical as a result of the wide range of viewing devices. In my opinion, it is better to use a template or a CMS to speed up the creation. Shopping cart sites are quite complex now, and are geared towards retailers using PP and credit cards, neither of those are suitable for me. Another problem is that in most cases only one item will be available. Also, I wanbt to build a list of sold items for reference. I looked at several shopping carts, and CubeCart seems to be the best for my purposes, and I've been experimenting with it over the last few days. This includes adding Bitcoin payments. I decided it was simplest to add products with a Sterling price, and allow users to convert to Bitcoin using the currency button at the top of the page. If you are interested in the initial site, then here is the link -
The Shop at Save old CarsPlease bear in mind that this is very early in the development of the site, and I am still considering how to optimise the layout. I will add some images faily soon, as the current ones are the stock images that came with the installation.
I'd be interested in any comments, rude or otherwise. Especially in relation to the handling of Bitcoin payments. I will need to add a descriptive page, and explain the the quoted Bitcoin price is for guidance only. I'd also be interested in hearing the experiences of any members who have implemented a marketing cart with Bitcoin pricing.
