I'm building a website with dreamweaver, and I can't figured out how to add a featured item box on my site. Can someone give me the technical name for this feature, so that I can incorp it onto the site?
It would really mean a lot to me,

The likely case is you'll be best off paying for a "pre-built" solution at least to get started. In other words some service that allows you to create a store online, without any coding.
Dreamweaver and Paypal ok starting points, but even for experienced developers, using them to create a functional and esthetically pleasing site takes a lot.
If, on the other hand, you want to use one of the open source e-commerce solutions someone mentioned earlier in this post, you're probably going to need some considerable development expertise to make them work the way you want.
Our site,
http://www.annas-soaps.com, is a combination of wordpress, an e-commerce plugin, various other plugins, theming, and customization (You can see a featured product slider on the home page). Even though a lot of this stuff is geared toward the non-technical user, working out all the details and customization took a bit of technical know-how.
I hope this doesn't sound discouraging -- just coming from someone who's been through the ringer with this stuff quite a few times before.
