- Welcome to FreeCommerce v1.2
- and
- ProCommerce Professional Version
-
- FreeCommerce is a simple and intuitive, yet very
- flexible tool for building, maintaining, and
- updating e-commerce websites. FreeCommerce uses
- a simple drag and drop process.
-
- Products are dragged into pages. Pages are
- dragged into departments, and your departments
- are dragged into your store. Stores, departments,
- pages, and products can be edited, created,
- deleted, replaced and reorganized quickly and
- easily, and an entire website can be dynamically
- rebuilt in seconds.
-
- A fully functional website can be built in under
- an hour, and FreeCommerce will deploy the site
- directly to any FTP capable server. Style templates,
- product libraries, and prebuilt departments will be
- released periodically to you grow and expand your new
- e-business.
-
- FreeCommerce offers a number of unique tools and
- special features giving you the flexibility
- to make quick departmental or store-wide price
- adjustments, dynamic discounting, incentives,
- and even e-coupons. You can define any number
- of customized shipping options. You can import
- any HTML documents, pictures, imbedded files or
- applets, and you even have a simple yet powerful
- graphics module for browsing, scanning, editing,
- converting and filtering your web images.
-
- FreeCommerce is not your typical WYSIWYG website
- editor and it is not a confusing code-based html
- editor. FreeCommerce lets you concentrate on
- defining and stocking your store, setting your
- prices, choosing a look, managing your business
- and letting FreeCommerce build you a complete
- working website. The programming, interface
- design, layouts, and implementations have all
- been done for you, so no absolutely no
- programming knowledge or technical experience
- is required.
-
- Just define your products, pages, and
- departments. Then write your descriptive
- titles, headlines, and text. Set your prices
- and shipping rates. Drag your products into
- your pages, your pages into departments, your
- departments into your store, and press the
- build button. A complete functional website
- is yours in seconds, and with the Magic Carpet
- Shopping Cart enabled you will instantly have
- one of the most powerful and versatile
- automated e-commerce sites around.
-
- FreeCommerce is distributed free of charge,
- however current versions do place banners
- at the bottoms of any websites they generate.
- These banners may be removed manually, but
- they will be recreated whenever you rebuild
- your FreeCommerce store. An optionalintegrated
- add-on shopping cart, and additional style
- libraries are distributed with the program as
- shareware.
-
- The FreeCommerce program is very useful for
- building showcase and catalog type websites
- without the shopping cart or any additional
- plug-ins, but once the shopping cart is turned
- on your free-commerce site can instantly become
- a sophisticated and extremely flexible online
- store, with capabilities to rival some of todays
- most advanced and respected e-commerce websites.
-
- The ProCommerce professional version of FreeCommerce
- is sold in stores, and may not be redistributed,
- without specific written permission of the authors.
- The ProCommerce professional version of FreeCommerce
- includes one MagicCarpet Shopping Cart site license,
- and does not place banners on your website.
-
- I hope you enjoy FreeCommerce, and I am certain
- many of you will find FreeCommerce to be the
- e-business tool you have been waiting for, to
- help bring your dreams to life. Feel free to
- explore it, distribute it, share it with your
- friends. Use it to build yourself a wonderful
- new career, a cool site, or a rewarding spare
- time fund-raising endeaver.
-
- FreeCommerce is privately owned freeware
- with optional shareware components built in.
- FreeCommerce may be posted, published,
- distributed, or broadcast in any way, but may
- not be altered, amended, changed, or edited
- without specific written consent of the
- authors and owners.
-
- ProCommerce professional CDs may not be
- copied, posted or transferred without
- specific written consent. Thankyou for
- your cooperation, and best wishes on
- on your new websites.
