Ok first of all, sorry if this is kind of a repeat but I asked this in the bottom of another post so it probably got buried and no one read that far down.

So anyways, I have been messing around with a few of the carts (oscommerce, zencart, and cubecart), and I think I like zencart. I found a template that looks pretty decent. Maybe I will keep checking out cubecart to see if that might be easier for me. But since I am just learning this stuff, I can't make one of those carts into a really nice integrated site. I have been messing around with Frontpage a little and started to make a pretty decent looking page. Is it a good way to go to make a nice looking home page, maybe describing what we do, showing some examples, and maybe having links on it to the different store categories? Will that help search engine results too? Or will that look bad that it doesnt match the store shopping cart?
