I'm still tweaking the site, (even as I'm typing this) but your comments/feedback would be appreciated.

http://www.golftowncs.com/index.aspx

Some lesson's I've learned.
- I'm never going to use transparent png's again
- If outsourcing image cropping, make sure same person does it or that everyone is on the same page
- Too much 'Flash' is not a good thing
- Integrating 3rd party software that was never meant to fit into AbleCommerce probably shouldn't go in.
- etc, etc, etc,

Feel free to add more lessons I should learn.

Thanks.

Looks great! Did you do the graphics or have someone else do it?

What 3rd party applications did you have problems with?

Thanks.

Basically a 2 man team, me and a designer. Most images shot in-house then out-sourced for close cropping. Designer did the Flash while I integrated into AbleCommerce.

For this site, the 3rd party company was SalesForce, they just wanted to capture info on checkout via post/form variables. Issues arise when info get's passed back and forth but I think I've worked it out. Another site I done involved integrating BeanStream (payment gateway not supported by AC).

Hey I know this post is old... but would you mind sharing your experience with us about the integration of BeanStream, as based on the API document I received they're services seems to use *old* ASP technology :(

I just looked at this link http://www.beanstream.com/public/api.asp and seems that they are providing XML messaging support. It means that you can make use of ASP.NET for integration. All you need is to build and send appropriate XML for different operations that's it. XML is independent of ASP or ASP.NET.
For example Quick Google search returned following link where I can see guy is using C#. This might give you an Idea.
