I currently have my site hosted with Photium, absolutely love the service and ease of use, not so keen on the £200 a year to have it though.

I can knock up something similar in iWeb, but from what I've seen it isn't easy to implement sales into an iWeb site. Currently my sales are done through Paypal, I know I can get a 'Buy now' button for iWeb, but what I need is the option to give the customer a chance to specify what sizes and the quantity of prints/canvases without having to repeat themselves.

Has anyone managed anything like this in iWeb?
 
I've been trying to find out this too, i found ww.webunlimited.com this has some great tips but sadly nothing on e-commerce. Although it may be worth contacting the author of the site to see if he knows of something.

This: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21211/iweb-enhancer apparently can add a paypal shopping cart system to iweb. Not sure if that will allow you to specify sizes.

One way that you may be able to do it is to have a drop down menu created using the method that is explained on iwebunlimited and then link the options to various products on a site such as http://www.fastcart.co.uk/

Please let us know how you get on! :)

Thanks. Having looked at the way Photium does things, I don't know if I'll be able to replicate this sort of thing in iWeb, but if I can I'm confident of being able to build just as good a site. From what I can see though it's main use is for personal websites, not business ones which is a shame.
 
..might be worthwhile taking a look at magento, its the best free ecommerce script out there at the moment and uses "attribute" based navigation like ebay uses. So for example visitors would select size, theme etc and the system would show the results that match their selection
