7-8-09 need opinions / ideas on best way to design an online conference registration site

I am in the "thinking" phase of creating an online conference  
registration site that has these criteria:

As part of your registration, users must:
- login as either an existing "member"
or
- create a new member record

Users can purchase:
- a "package"
- a la carte
- a mixture of package and a la carte  (if you do this then some of  
the a la carte items have different prices)

And - maybe - still to be decided:
- different kinds of existing members pay different prices

Each registration item has a limited quantity and as spots are filled  
the item becomes less available.  Spots can be filled via "package"  
or "a la carte" or the mixture of package and a la carte registrations.


And,
- at "checkout" the member's credit card information needs to be  
captured but NOT submitted to the credit card processor (they do that  
manually in house and keep the cc info in electronic form until it  
has been manually processed - not changing this process)


Another thing might be:
- a form to edit your contact info


The web site will use Lasso and must write to their existing  
FileMaker database.


Currently I'm thinking of doing something similar to:

https://www.toastmasters.org/convenreg/


But am looking at all options.  Looking for any suggestions on the  
entity relationship design, web design, etc.


THANKS IN ADVANCE for your comments!
