I'm looking to create a simple store locator section on my website where someone can input the following information:
Store Name
Address
Description of Store

Are there any pre-built products that I can install on my site to get me started?

Also, if I cataloged this info in XLS are there any products that would allow bulk upload of info?

Pre-built for Plone? CMF? Zope?

Three different answers.

I think what I am looking to do is create archetypes. I just started reading the archetype section of the Plone guide and am wondering if it would be better to create my own archetype or if there is something already out there that has done the bulk of the work of creating fields for data entry. Archetypes may be the answer to my questions.

I guess I'm looking for something kinda like a store locator:

http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/map.jsp?streetaddress=&city=&state=&zip=10023&clientPOI2=1&closestn=3&closestprox=1&miles=200&screen=find&link=results&width=450&height=338&orig_iconid=24&_requestid=161949

I know there is ATGoogle maps out there for Plone, but I don't know how to make the API key work. The developer of the product gave no direction in that.

I was going to suggest Archetypes as it is the way to go.

You don't need to build in the Maps API, just link to the maps.

I built something like this for CMF and it works great.

Do you have a link to your site? I'd love to see what you did.

Check out the links page (Zope powered).

Hint: Audi.
