input products / recommend a hosting company

[rod willis]

Hi

I am new to e-commerce and would love to have some help on the following :-

is there a quick way of uploading products into actinic, i have about 3000 products with images descriptions etc.. to upload this seems to be quite a daunting task, hampered by the fact that my designer has not finished the templates etc...so i wondered if anything could be done in excell for example so i can quickly upload when the designer has finished ?

secondly can anyone recommend a good web hosting company that will be experienced with actinic and will support a catalogue with aprox 6000 items and does give good customer support.

please e-mail me at rodwillis@gmail.com

thanks

If you are not using component or attributes, then you shoudl be able to easily achieve it using a flat file CSV file, i.e. create it in Excel and convert to csv for importing into the Actinic software.

Take a look in your PCs Actinic ?? / Original / Common folder for examples of the flat import and the more complex Hierarchical method which is used to import components and all that other guichy stuff
