There's a huge difference between buying software and developing a proper
system.  The end product doesn't roll out of the software on its own.

Since I designed my original websites I guess I know what's involved.

I'm using X-Cart for my new sites (three of them).  The look and feel will be
very similar to the current design, a product of mine own and Searchfit's
design.

My new sites will also employ PHP.  The rollout is *supposed* to be in about
6-8 weeks but may be delayed a bit.  The sites are too big now to simply code
everything by hand.  The biggest part of the job isn't the templates.  It's
importing the database -- about 50 Gigs at this point.
