CRE is an offshoot or "fork" in the osCommerce CMS with 75 modules already installed, a real time saver.  A full list of the modules add is here -> (Opens in new window. Close to return).

Why do I need a content management system? is a question I am often asked.
It is a rather long answer which I will outline below but the short answer is "To present your information in an organized manner, enable ecommerce and a host of options such as cross sell, manage your customers and orders, run your own affiliate program, and more."

What are the features I should have for a simple store? is usually the next question.
"Search engine friendly" is my first answer as without this one feature all you work is for nothing.

CRELoaded offers all the above and more.

If you are a beginner to html coding, the system offers a WYSIWYG editor, so you do not have to know how to code. Everything is done in text based forms in your browser, no special programs needed.
If you are an expert and prefer to write your own code, then there is a code view option.
Either way gives you the options to add the proper meta tags to each page to allow for top SEO.

Let me warn the user that CRE is a complex system and as such carries a high initial learning curve.
There are numerous options to configure and some will at first, seem cryptic.
There are manuals available and these will help the new user to get a store up and operating.

Information is also available on the CRE sites but you will have to search for it among the forums, CSV, crelance, FAQs and so on.
If you host your site with our www.0Grief.com service we will help in instant messenger chats.
