    Hi am setting up a new website. It's selling about 20 products. I'm keeping it simple becasue I am a one man opperater and hope to do it part time, with a view to making it full time.

    What sort of a website do I need? And how much should it cost to develop? I have no grapic design or logo so I will need all that done too.

    In terms of payment would paypal or realex be enough and easy enough to use. I have factored in them charging me 5% on my sales.
    I will be selling low cost high margin products. I am hoping to have 1,720 customers a year. Spending on average of €12 each. It's a very high margin product so I'm hoping to make a profit after set up cost in year one! Don't know if it will be that easy but that's the plan.
    Any other thoughts?

    Could go with something like http://goodsie.com/
    Don't know if it's any use but decent website

    You could get someone to setup a CMS like Joomla, Wordpress etc that have support for online store.

    Hi Days, go for something web-based if you're only starting up. Don't get talked into anything else is my advice. Check out shopify.com to get started on the idea and then maybe look around on google. I should cost you practically nothing to get going.

    Moved to Design as this isn't a Development thread.
