e-commerce websites

Having had a ridiculously poor service from just about every IT provider I have ever used, I thought I should do it myself. Problem then is few want to pay.

So here is my take...

If you want to sell online, setup a Shopify store* with a free template and get going with loading it full of product and start selling asap.
As sales improve you can use something like Webflow to make a more awesome website design, but don't get bogged down in design up front.
Use Stripe-Xero and a bank account that talks to Xero then pretty much all your admin paperwork can be automated.

* and if you don't know how to get started I will setup your basic Shopify site for free. No catches, everything will be in your name, ownership will always be yours. I get a small fee from the monthly hosting that will be the same cost for the end user either way.

Send me a message, I have time.

I personally think something like WOrdpress + WooCommerce is much better. The learning curve is not very steep either and you can setup a good looking shop with no coding experience after watching a few video on YouTube. Wordpress gives you far greater choices and flexibility in almost every department. Also you don't have to pay anything, except for the domain and hosting fees which are almost negligible for a small-medium traffic site.

If anyone has any questions about going this route, feel free to ask me anything.

I don't get it. Shopify is hosted on their own servers so how do you get a small monthly hosting fee?

That combo is good for nerdy types who want to learn the system and keep everything updated. In my experience, business folk don't have the time to learn it

Not exactly a small hosting fee. More like an affiliate setup.

Sell an app in our marketplace

That's exactly right, but there is no discount to go without my help
