[Techtalk] developing online shops

[Sue Stones]

Thanks Cynthia,

I had done something along those lines originally and forgot what I 
found.  I have now found the original info that encouraged me to look at 
Django in the first place, namely Satchmo.  On the other hand I have had 
a look at Shopify, and that looks fantastic too, and definitely worth 
more investigation.

I know PHP and haven't been that impressed with it, but perhaps I should 
look a little further into that too!
