I have a problem with adding a shopping cart to my site.

I designed and built my site with Dreamweaver, and it has really been used for the most part as a "gallery" if you will, for customers I see face to face to browse at their leisure.

Now I need to add the shopping cart feature, and I am loathed to start from scratch. I am fairly computer savvy, and can follow instructions pretty well, I just need to know which direction to go in. There are scripts available through the company that hosts my site, but they mean I would have to rebuild my site so it looks cookie cutter style.

I would greatly appreciate any help I could get.

Amazon has a free shopping cart offer you might want to check that out to get some ideas.

I have used http://www.ambercart.com and its not too expensive and is really simple to integrate into an existing website.

Putting a form shopping cart on your site allows Web visitors to purchase your products. You will need a basic knowledge of HTML in addition to product images, product description and the price. The table-based shopping cart is created inside of a form, so make the table and its cells as wide as your Web page. At the end of the form, you can include a "submit" button. This is a Simple shopping cart that does not use JavaScript, which you can modify or update as needed.
