[Sigia-l] Shopping Basket

Hi List,

I need help thinking.

I have inherited a high-profile ecom project, and the solution has been designed so that there is no dedicated page for the shopping basket content (the basket can only be viewed in an auxillary 'flap' that layers over the page content anchored and triggered from an icon in the header.

The abscence of a dedicated page to 'view your basket' is making me edgy. I'm not super-experience with e-com design, so I'm hoping there are some experts out there who have been through this before and can help:

1 - is there an obvious bear trap in not including a dedicated cart-view page?
2 - has anyone got anecdotal or concrete evidence of user acceptance of overlay cart views?
3 - anything else that you think might come and bite my behind.

Cheers all, hoping that you all say - 'Wowser, what a great way to do ecom', but fearing you won't.

Lou
