Hey guys...looking for a bit of advice here on the easiest way to go about things in setting up an online shop as a little project...
basic rundown:
- I have stuff I want to sell...
- I need a website with cart/ecommerce setup to display items and allow their purchase giving me details of order/price/qty/buyer details etc
- I am on a relatively low budget (hiring someone is out of the question) but I have a fair bit of time and generally learn this type of stuff fairly quickly if there is a decent tutorial availabe (uni student
)
- I have access to photoshop, dreamweaver and such...as well as the freebies like Kompozer, wordpress etc etc... Im guessing a WYSIWYG style of editor would be best for me, regardless of what horrible code standard it spits out..
- I have a fairly reasonable eye for good design and structure for sites...if it were as simple as drawing it all up then I could, but I also fail at any form of coding past a myspace HTML level
Other than that I can sort all the Paypal, business credit card accounts, accounting, hosting/e-mail (
support datacapital I guess?), just looking for advice on the design side of things...
What is the best way for me to go about this?
Steal Order shop software and template and customise it to my liking? (probably using dreamweaver I guess)
Create my own template to my liking from scratch and then incorporate a shop addon/app or such?
Any hints, tips and advice would be much appreciated
PS - yes I searched but couldn't really find all that much relating to a shop setup
