yea, I'm doing it myself. as Roban said, its something you have to learn. And there is much to learn, coding aside. Just admin panel is a maze. However, the flexibility it provides (so far, knock on wood) is quite amazing.

I could have taken the easier route, Volision, etc. and there is a chance I still may.

However, had to try to figure it out myself with the Magento forum help.

Interspire is way too much money for me. I'd rather build something simple on Magento, (if I can) and revamp it thru a pro, when the business can afford it.

best of luck on your quest.
