Re: products pages tips?

You might want to check out the new interface with the DB hosting offered 
by IWeb... it's basically a search engine interface and would work for a 
product seach, allows pictures  with each entry, and allows you to design 
the HTML for the pages. I've used their hyperseek search engine and love it.
