easy-to-configure storefront package for beginner

[zn]

I need to implement a sales section on our company website to sell products
direct to consumers. We have to do this in short order but I have very
little html and no php experience. Our platform is Windows 2000 Server and
we would like the product to communicate with our Oracle server but we
could install a standalone database that is part of a storefront package if
necessary (MySQL as part of the package, for example). What products are
available that could be easily modified and configured to suit a low volume
of sales (perhaps 2000 per year)?

Thanks.

hire a contractor. Your inexperience will just get in the way.

Thanks. Now what does everyone think about a programs such as LiteCommerce?
Are there other easy to use web commerce solutions that require less than
normal hand-holding?

Thanks.

I eschew purchased programs. I bought a couple and found them to be
underdocumented and poorly written (CommerceLight was out of the price
range). If you don't understand security issues and can't program php,
I think someone else should do this project. You're only heading for
world of hurt (as well as are you customers).
