I need to develop an eCommerce site (shopping cart, secure, etc) for our company. Will .net do this? I see a lot of chatter about creating websites but little about secure sites that can process credit cards, interact with shipping calculators, etc. What I really need is a template like VS/MFC provides for desktop apps, something to get me started.

Is .NET the right tool or should I be looking at something like ColdFusion/DreamWeaver?

ASP.NET is a great tool for doing exactly what you want.

As far as a template to get you started, the ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit is
a fully functional site that you can download and use as-is or customize for
your specific needs. To get the starter kit go to www.asp.net, click the
"Starter Kits" tab and scroll down to the Commerce Starter Kit.
