I would recommend Virtuemart coupled with Joomla as CMS if you are bale to do your own installation and managing, otherwise a turnkey online solution as a pilot project might be the way to go. http://www.virtuemart.net http://www.joomla.org Both are free and open source. As always the cost is in people resource in setting up and in a server solution, whether a dedicated server, we use EasySpeedy: http://www.easyspeedy.com or shared hosting http://www.rochenhost.com Joomla specialist hosting for very reasonable.

My colleagues in the Museum are considering a pilot online shop to make the Museum's retail products more available. Currently they informally accept orders over the telephone but want to provide a more formal system that will be available outside shop hours. Initially they are proposing offering around 20-25 products. I'd appreciate any comments anyone might have about the best way to approach this and also - off list if it would be more appropriate - suggestions of any suppliers who you think might be able to offer a good service.
