Hi Nick,

I built a website for a national dive company. I rebuilt the entire site from asp into a dynamic site that also created an html catalog once a day for fresh content. We transferred the site as well as chaged URL's, and did this successfully with no loss in traffic or PR.

Here are a few things I would try to keep in mind;
1. If you can build the site around an xml feed, the run it through a ColdFusion Server to create your pages, you will surpass your competition by far. Maybe if you just included some xml or rss feed into your main category pages to feed fresh content, you would still put you leaps ahead.

2. Regardless of how you build it, replace any "?" or id= from the URL's

3. A nice interface I use for storefronts and e-commerce is monster commerce. Creates the entire site based off of an excel file and allows alot of customization (be sure to purchase their html catalog for fresh content)

Good Luck
