saintscottofthenortham Posted 12 July, 2011 Share Posted 12 July, 2011 Who has done it? I'm looking into having an online shop in the not too distant future and wondering if I would manage to figure it out myself if I put enough effort and research into it. I'm not bad at all on computers so sure I could figure it out. Just need pointing in the right direction I think. Any advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 12 July, 2011 Share Posted 12 July, 2011 If it's an online shop with quite a few products, I would recommend a CMS (Wordpress etc) e-commerce website.... would probably need to know a bit more about your specs before I make any more recommendations though!

saint_stevo Posted 12 July, 2011 Share Posted 12 July, 2011 Try KompoZer. Loads of tutorials available online and fairly easy to use. No idea if it is suited to an online shop though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is to buy a hosting plan with http://www.simpleservers.co.uk/magento_hosting.php Install magento using their menu system then buy a magento book from amazon.

zanehed Posted 15 July, 2011 Share Posted 15 July, 2011 Zen Cart is fine, some of the options such as payment and postage will drive you mad, but loads of help out there. I use 1and1 to host, you get a database to run Zen on and a couple of domain names. People will probably have other/better suggestions. Try a free host if you can put up with the ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
