SalesCart: Microsoft FrontPage-Based Shopping Cart Released On UNIX
SAN FRANCISCO--May 9, 2001--ComCity(R) Corp. announced today that it has released SalesCart-X(TM) (http://www.salescart.com), the first and only FrontPage e-commerce shopping cart that allows total customizability of the checkout web pages on a Unix Server. With the introduction of SalesCart-X, now any Web hosting provider, Unix- or Microsoft(R) Windows(R) NT-based, can provide "stand-alone" shopping cart capabilities to their FrontPage customers with a software solution as opposed to a less customizable "service" or close-ended program. SalesCart-X is the first such FrontPage shopping cart running on Unix to allow anyone to customize the entire look and feel of every single page of their shopping cart via a very easy scripting language and extend the basic e-commerce solution to their particular corporate or personal needs.
"With an installed base of more than 5 million, we know that FrontPage users want to be able to choose from a wide variety of Web site hosting companies to host their e-commerce site," said Nancy Buchanan, Microsoft lead product manager for FrontPage. "We`re pleased that ComCity is helping to give FrontPage users more options for selling products on the sites they create with FrontPage with its new SalesCart-X."
Until the release of SalesCart-X, FrontPage customers hosting their Web sites on Unix-based systems and who desire to add e-commerce to their Web site had to either purchase a shopping cart service or they had to switch to a different provider. SalesCart-X provides 100% cross platform compatibility to host "anywhere," including on any Unix ISP. "We offer FrontPage-based Unix Hosting at half the price of our Windows NT-based hosting, SalesCart-X will allow us to leverage our e-commerce hosting packages to a lower price than virtually any other Web Presence Provider for Microsoft FrontPage," said Edward York, vice president of 724 Hosting.
"SalesCart X uses PHP and mySQL, thus allowing any web designer with only a modest amount of scripting experience, to completely customize the checkout system for their particular applications," according to Michael Barber, president and CEO of ComCity Corp., the makers of SalesCart. "This gives shopping cart customers who use FrontPage a scalable shopping cart for the first time that can meet the needs of any merchant running on any platform."
