To Build a Webiste or To Pay Someone ? - Wix vs SS vs Shopify vs [etc] - eCommerce Platform

[HellaSiccEtienne]

Hi !

I'm currently looking to have a website. But, as the title says, I'm a bit lost here. I've read through a whole lotta stuff about which website builder has the best options for a eCommerce platform, through which I will sell my product (only one product), after a (possibly, hopefully) succesfull Kickstarter launch, this september.

So, very simply, landing page would be a video that loops (it will be subtitled, and muted too) that shows the product, and the story behind it, with humor and all. Right next to that, or under, its the "I want that" or whatever, to click and purchase. And other sections that we don't care about yet, cause its simple text and images.

I'm very proefficient with anything computer-related, but I really really don't want to 1. babysit the website 2. code anything.

I've been looking into Wix, SquareSpace, Shopify, ClickFunnels, WordPress.

The payment processing and all that has to be efficient, and simple, both for customer and I. I'm also trying to minimize costs, but if Shopify at a 29$ plan (basic one) is the best options vs Wix's 25$/month plan or SquareSpace's 26$/month plan, I will go with Shopify. I have a custom domain, and email adress too (if it can help you answer this).

A web designer is like mad expensive, so ya... But hey, it's an option.

I want to know what do you guys think. Did you use one of those plans ? Which one and why ?

Let's have a discussion. I'm open and listening !

Thank you for your time !
