It's important to keep in mind that the only difference between sophee and every other site here is the approach to the design of the site. sophee's design was done by a professional graphic designer, a guy by the name of Jerry Mica (www.numartingroup.com) . Jerry basically never looked at Interchange when he did the wireframes and PSDs ( you can see those at http://www.cmainteractive.com/clients/sophee/ ), the software had to fit the design and not vice versa. Most of us are content to just modify Foundation, but it's important to remember how much of a difference professional design can make. I don't want it to seem like we did something amazing because we really didn't... Mike and crew did something amazing by creating Interchange and managing to hide it from most of the world. Hire a great designer and any of you can have a site that looks just like sophee, largely because the Interchange "people" already wrote the software that can easily provide that level of customization. The thing that I think sophee brings to the interchange table is a reminder that IC is, at heart, not just a shopping cart program but a full-blown ecommerce engine (and more). To really take Interchange to new levels you've got to see Foundation for what it is, a reference implementation / demo, and don't limit yourself with it.
