Today’s content management system websites have revolutionized the ecommerce experience by combining website features and a complete online store in a single system. Creating and managing an online store has never been easier.
Weebly Shops
Weebly combines all of the features of a full website with a complete online store in one easy-to-use system. You have total control over the look and feel and can work with your store in the same easy-to-use platform as your website. Simply log in to add or edit products, work with customer orders, manage inventory and much more using simple, built-in tools. Set up and hosting costs depend on the number of products you have to offer. After that you pay just one low monthly fee and industry-standard transaction fees. Start small and scale up as needed while keeping overhead costs low!

Etsy Stores
Etsy is an online ecommerce platform for the sale of handmade goods, vintage items, and do-it-yourself kits. It is free to set up an Etsy store and you can be up and running with a fully functional online shop in a few hours. There is no monthly fee, you pay a very reasonable per transaction fee to Etsy. There is also a fee of (less than $1) to add an item. Payments are handled through any of the major payment gateways and the system includes inventory management, shipping rates, tax rates, and all of the features you would expect in a basic online store. The best part is that once it’s up & running you can run it yourself.

Shopify, other platforms and consulting
In addition to Etsy and Weebly I've also created stores on Shopify. If you need help planning and implementing a Shopify store I can assist. But sometimes you just need to offer a couple of things for sale and don't want a full store. Or perhaps you want to sell online without accepting payments. Feel free to contact me for assistance with any of these other aspects of setting up - or working with - an online store.
