Are you familiar with the Codie Awards? The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) members are now voting, and the finalists for their 23rd annual Codie Awards have been posted for the public to see. There are three met-categories: Software, Education and Content. Within each of these are a dozen or more categories within which a nomination can be given.

Americommerce caught my eye because of their cute graphics. They offer ecommerce storefront software that allows a web master to add not only a shopping cart, but also a catalogue and even multiple storefronts using a single interface.

I know a number of homeschooling families go on to have a family business that helps to finance homeschool materials and activities, and also to compensate for the loss of salary when at least one parent stays home full time. If this is in your future you might want to look into Americommerce. They have a free 14-day trial to give you time to play with their interface before you commit to it. Packages are priced for small, medium and large businesses. You can start small and work up.

Americommerce will host your web site for you - so if you’re moving up from a free web site or blog, everything is in one place. You can keep your current site design and product catalogue. There is a WYSIWYG editor for those who aren’t comfortable with HTML. There’s a demo if you’d like to see more before looking into them.
