Hello,

I'm just starting to look into building a website with a cms and i have a few questions.

There is a number of e-solutions but what is the difference between them ?

http://www.zen-cart.com/
http://drupalecommerce.org
and oscommerce
etc.

My first goal is to create a page saying under construction and a possibility for my future clients drop in their email for notification when we launch.

Is that something i could easily do with oscommerce ?

can you give me more details on what i would need to do in order to get me started.

Regards,
Miles
