Default Web Designers/Experts Help Please....

I posted a few questions last week about an E-Commerce website.

Basically i have looked at some of the options suggested and need a bit more help.

I need a product, whether it be an off the shelf type or bespoke site, to be able to do the following:

Sell upto 1000 products
Full order processing
Have full editable e-commerce features - products/pricing etc...
It must look good - not cheap and nasty like most do. It must look totally professional.
Must be able to perform well on Google listings - May need help on optimisation.

Basically a full on e-commerce shop for business/general public customers.

I have found these guys who do a package Actinic Business Ecommerce Software, B2C B2B Business to Business E-commerce
Can anyone tell me if this is a good package and if not recommend a good quality proffesional package/service.

One of the main things that is important is it performs well on search engines, mainly Google. Am looking into google ads too.

Can the experts on here guide me in the right direction?

Thanks

Mike

We use cs-cart.com for lot's of our clients but I'd vote in favour of oscommerce (reskinned) as well. Most use the same type and method of functionality to be honest anyway (apat from Actinic whose product I don't like much, though to be fair they were one of the first out there offering these....)

Optimisation wise - you're going to be limited in what you can achieve without spending big bucks to be honest. Shopping carts can constrain what is acheivable because of the way the site is laid out and code presented etc...

osCommerce is ok but as soon as you want to do something out the ordinary it becomes a nightmare. You really need to know PHP/mysql and to work out where things are can take a while...
