Then you'll want to implement a cart I imagine and engineering that is seldom cheap. :) How are they shipping the products? If via UPS or Fedex, can't they just supply the customer with that tracking info (like eBay does)?
If you are using a CMS such as WordPress, Expression Engine or CMS Made Simple, those all have modules/plugins/extensions that deploy cart functionality.
Just my two. And glad you have the book I recommended. I just got three in today and I cannot wait to dive in: Logo Design Love by David Airey, The Web Designer's Idea Book Vol. 2 (I have Vol. 1 and it was EXCELLENT!), and a book on how to write killer proposals. :))

Subject: [web-design] Re: client requests method for tracking order status and showing available inventory
Hi Steve and everyone,
I appreciate all of the advice given to date more than I can say.
I'm back on this aspect of my project designing a web site for my friends with the hops farm. Temporarily they are willing to use the idea of directing sales to PayPal, but I'm sure they are going to start asking again about a way to allow clients to track order status, access inventory levels, etc. (I have no idea if this is a reasonable thing to allow customers to access... :) )
They periodically ask me if this is something they can manage on their own once it is set up. Apparently one friend does have some coding/programming knowledge. (I'm not sure how much.) Is this something they can manage from their end, in terms up updating their stock inventory levels, etc?
Since these are friends and I'm doing the entire project at a very LOW flat rate (and because I'm am learning as I go), I don't have the option of subbing the programming work out. Either I need to learn how to do this, or it isn't going to get done. Hoping I'm not taking on more than I can handle as I do this work as a second job!
I'm working with the tutorial on w3schools to learn javascript as a precursor to learning PHP, etc. (Joni, I also have one of the CSS books you recommended and am working through that as well.)
