OT: Looking to Create a Website

[Buythatcard]

Since I am spending so much time indoors, I have been thinking about putting together a website for my business. Right now it's just an experiment. I want to try selling sport cards and other memorabilia on my website and try to move away from eBay.

I have been looking at some of the website developer applications. I have not been able to find a decent template that would work well with my theme of sports memorabilia.

Can anyone recommend a decent application to design a website? I would also consider paying a service to do the work for me but allows me to update it myself.

Howard,


I would start by looking at WooCommerce: https://woocommerce.com/



This is WordPress' e-commerce plugin. There is a huge community of users behind WP, so whatever you're trying to do has been done by many others (that's a good thing). Good luck.

I have used Big Commerce for my non card related business for the last 4 years and really like it. It was easy for me to set up and use plus they have great over the phone customer service. Joe

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Will check it out tomorrow.

I left ebay when they required sellers to accept electronic payments. I haven't regretted it for one instant. I built the one in my signature line from scratch with the help of a friend. You can tell it's homemade, but sometimes I think that's part of the charm. As an added benefit, it cost me nothing but time to build. Good luck with it.
