Only selling 1 - 5 products... best way to go?

Hi Everyone,
Such great info on this site. I was looking into some of the eCommerce solutions (i.e. Volusion) but it seems most of these are geared towards companies with hundreds if not thousands of products.
I`m launching my business with one product and may get to 3-5 by the end of year 1.
Am I still looking into working with an eCommerce website designer or am I better off witha regular website but adding shopping cart functionality?
Thanks
Matt

For example: most ecommerce solutions handle a product database which is important but they also handles a customer database.... which is critical. PayPal buy me buttons can certainly be used to handle the sale of one or more products, but it does not capture customer information.
I would not hesitate to recommend using an ecommerce solution to sell a few products.
Also, the reason why some ecommerce sites are similar (cookie-cutter shops) to others is more a function of the person implementing/designing the site than the ecommerce program itself. Although some of the one-stop ecommerce solutions do have significant design limitations.
