I hand-code everything, so there's no WYSIWYG here. I have very little experience with PHP and am hoping that all of the features, such as "Featured Items" and most sidebar clutter I see in most store sites, can be [b]turned off[/b].

I think my biggest worry is making the site SUPER small and quick loading. If it's truly that easy to set up, then I'll most likely be spending 13 days modifying the look to get it *just right*.

As far as donations to osCommerce go, I'm going to do two things:
[list=1]
[*] Set up an affiliate program for it, and donate all money generated to osCommerce
[*] Make a tee shirt design that has X amount of dollars per sale go directly to osCommerce
[/list]
That way, anyone here can use those to osCommerce's benefit.
