No previous message | Next message →

Can anyone help me please. I am considering using a shopping cart
on my next website project; but it needs to have a high accessibility
and W3C standards level to match the rest of the Site.

I've done some searching on the Web for reviews and looked at the
Webaim archives where I found very little recent discussion on the
subject.

I have no experience in ecommerce. Everyone seems to have a shop! But
are they all accessible?

A friend (Doug Paulley) suggested I check up on "Interchange",
"Karova" and "IQsmartcart". Interchange seemed very complicated for
my simple requirements But the later is the most likely
to be of use to me - there's a demo at
http://www.iqnetcom.com/democart.asp.

But has anyone any user experience of these shopping carts or further
recommendations?

Note: We would be selling mostly club memberships (Worldwide) and
books, photographs, prints and ornamental objects possibly using
credit card transactions - although we are aware that there are other
methods of payment over the Internet.

Joe.

Thanks for that link to tradingeyes.com. This cart looks very good.
I'm also glad to have consequently discovered the
(http://dpivision.com) site which will be of use to me, especially
the free accessibility test.
