Volusion

So I'm starting to feel a little better as I've been showing the back end of Volusion to a few of my programming friends and the consensus is: Volusion sucks. (In other words, not entirely my fault).

I've been trying to customize the pre-established frame that they have and now realize that parts of it aren't even customizable...PLUS their own code doesn't even validate!

Volusion has terrible cross-browser compatibility and the back end is a total mess. I found this blog post which pretty much sums it up: http://www.urbanpit.com/2008/03/volusion-sucks.html

I tried to use their live chat to get some help the other day, and ended up waiting about 45 minutes before giving up. Needless to say, once this assignment is over I'm going to find a new ecommerce solution. It's too late for me to start over right now so I'm going to keep plugging away, but the end result will not be anywhere close to what it's supposed to look like.
