I am new to site building, etc, but am a quick study. We are looking to move our current site to LP (current host is holding us hostage $200 per hour to make minor modifications, and we don't own the source code) - most of it was written in Cold Fussion. It is a simple site that displays company information and an very successful ecommerce site.

We are looking for a shopping cart that is fairly easy to learn, but powerful enough to get the use we need. Our current cart allows the customer to make a purchase, validate credit cards and calculate shipping (the easy part). It also has an extensive admin site where the staff input large wholesale/retail orders, track customer information, report on sales and deal with the multi-teer Florida Sales Tax. It acts almost like a point-of-sale system for 45% of our sales. All sales are either ecommerce or mail-order, we have no walk in customers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what are people using as a store locater?

Thanks in advance...
