Wordpress shopping site

[mreddie]

Hello,

I've done a bit of dabbling with Wordpress and can certainly do the backend basics. A friend of mine wants a shopping cart website and I was going to attempt it with wordpress.

Can someone recommend a retail template that has a nice intro flash page and has a good shopping cart page with easy navigation. She has about 10-20 products and will probably want a regular blog. Anyhow be great to hear people's thoughts.

Thanks MRE

Don't use a flash intro, they are extremely out-dated, provide very little SEO juice, are hard to update for the average Joe, and are only cool the first time you visit the site.

A good site for themes is themeforest.net

lol flash intro! people don't have time to watch some useless animation..

You might like to try this wordpress ecommerce plugin:

Thanks guys. I should clarify, not a flash intro but a rotating front page banner with changeable headline and image.

These themes are awesome, come with a built in cart, all plug and play.
