Migrating existing site to Zen Cart?

Could I request some help from an experienced Zen Carter? I have to update an existing site, now using Storefront, as the code is old and running into problems.
At my time of life (70) I'm loath to spend another $500+ with Storefront just for a couple of years at best. So I wish to migrate the catalog area to Zen Cart.
Could someone please visit www.beeworks.com/equipment.html and have a look around, see if it would migrate, or will it require a re-write?:lookaroun I really don't want to rebuild the whole site.
Regards Hive man

I really don't want to rebuild the whole site.
Unfortunately, Zen Cart is not modular and/or can not be incorporated into another type of site. Yours being ASP. What the recommendation is: Make Zen Cart look like a current site and then run the site completly from Zen Cart.

It certainly looks do-able. Have you given Zen Cart a test drive yet? :yes:

Re: Migrating existing site to Zen Cart?

I am still getting 'my ducks in a row' but anticipate a test drive any day soon. I believe I'm on the right track to migrate the 'catalog' area to Zen Cart and just hope I don't run into problems.
I did try another cgi scripting 'catalog' some time ago and ended up with massive problems, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and not 'jumping' too quickly.
Thanks to all who replied.
