Grab what I want, pay and get out!
The EZwidget store has a few extra steps. For example, once I find an item, I have to click on the photo and view all of the details before I can buy it. After I select an item, my filled shopping cart is displayed. If I want to continue shopping, I have to go back and begin browsing again. Most e-stores flow this way. Drives me crazy. So many steps, so little time to shop!

I once evaluated an e-store with a shopping cart that always displayed on the left frame. I could continue shopping and glancing at my cart at the same time, just like I do at Pathmark. (Not Pathmark.com - I have to get out sometimes!)

Everything and the Kitchen Sink
Overall, EZwidget does fill a need: it creates a basic e-store quickly, easily and inexpensively, one that can be maintained by a novice user, and processes credit cards in real time. While every e-store product has benefits and drawbacks, few give you all the features of EZwidget for free.

If this is what you're looking for, I think EZwidget is well worth evaluating.
