um...I think 20 minutes is kind of unrealistic. I mean, I guess it depends on how customized and streamlined you want your design to be. I've seen a lot of oscommerce sites that you can really tell are oscommerce, they all look the same, even though they've done a little bit of 'design' to them. and I've seen completely redone websites that you would never know were oscommerce unless you look closely at the source code, and i'm sure those took weeks to do by a design firm. so it's always a range.

nevdev, you'll need to demo several different scripts to get a feel for how easy they are to customize, both in terms of the design and extending the code for custom features.

You might look for a script that is especially made for print shops. Scripts like oscommerce are made for "normal" products, which have a one to one correspondence between photo, price, and item. The page you posted has a lot of different options all of which modify the price. I think it would take a lot to try to make oscommerce work with that product model - it's not the normal product pattern. I would recommend either finding a script that is made especially for print shops, or have someone build you a custom system.
