Just wanted to give you guys an update.
I started working on the front end code about two weeks ago. I've added about 10k lines of new code and am absolutely thrilled with the way it is turning out. Everything has been functioning exactly like I've drawn out and its starting to fall into place. There is still a lot to do, but I've started focusing about 2-3 hours per night on the weekdays and 5+ hours on the weekends. This weekend is yet another huge push for more features and drive toward completion. I might even be able to tackle the PayPal API and get that system buttoned down. (Which would make the front end mostly functional).
There will be all kinds of cool stuff added like Reviews, Bulk Discounts, Special Order items, Shipping Options, Coupons, Gift Certificates, Multiple Pictures, More detailed descriptions, Technical specifications.. etc. There will be bundles, parts, accessories..etc all arranged logically (I hope). When you add an item to your cart, it will recommend an item that goes along with it and will allow you to add it to your cart immediately.
Once launched the system will probably have 100 products with over 1000 different variations available. Mostly hardware components for the CNC machines... and lots of stuff we've been meaning to add.
