With Ricky The Butcher, the proof of the (black) pudding is in the eating. Many who I talk to
about e-commerce are sceptical that their type of products will sell on the net. They say
"of course people buy books and CDs, but my product range isn't the sort of thing people will buy
through e-commerce".
Well, Ricky The Butcher's speciality meat products are not the sort of thing you'll find in your
average high-street butcher's shop, and as such, sell quite well on the internet. The site has
expanded its range since the original launch, and now has a full shopping basket. However, to
begin with, it was based on Room101's "JavaScript Order Form" technology - something which is
much easier to use than a conventional shopping basket, and suitable for sites with relatively
small product ranges. Follow the links below to compare and constrast the two methods of creating
an order consisting of more than one product.
