Hi all,

since we are at the topic of starting an online shop...

Here's an important tip:
Get a domain name.

Here's why:
It shows you are serious about your business.
It allows clear branding of your online store.
You can use emails such as mary@maryclothing.com

AND...
Both web and domain hosting is cheap nowadays.
About $100 can get you a website for a year.
Preferably, it is a .com.
.com.sg costs more... you should buy it if you have more cash.

one last tip...
remember to buy a linux package
if you want to use wordpress...

Thanks!
Wee

If you want to start with something simple, you can start playing around with prestashop. It's an open source script.

Hi FancyPocket,

interesting you would recommend prestashop...
i'm pretty sure your site is not on prestashop...
what is your site developed on anyways?

well, for me, i have developed a number of sites...
and by far, for a full-fledged ecommerce solution,
i would recommend zen-cart.
it is stable, has a wonderful support forum and very customizable.

I recommend presta, because it is the simplest in term of features, templates, structures and programming for custom modifications.

I used customized x-cart, because it can handle hundred thousands of items without lagging and they offer paid support. SEO module is great and you don't have to worry about duplicate content.

As for zen-cart, it seems that development has stopped for quite sometimes. if you need features, magentocommerce has tonnes of it.

hihi! the infor given by everyone has been very helpful!

i've also switched my site from ourglassmansion to now alldolledup.oursecrethaven.com , with a hiatus from about feb-jun as i was busy and sales have dropped considerably! everything i had done is still the same (in fact i think my new site and photos are much cleaner and brighter than the previous one), there's an ok flow of traffic, but sales are really much lesser..
