I design and build furniture and I need web site. I have a clear vision as to what I want, I have the site map down on "paper" and most of the content. I'm having a really tough time deciding which route to go to get a website I want.
I have hosting lined up, domain name registered, logo designed... I have very little css, php experience as a way of making wordpress do what I need for my day job company. I have a friend that does great graphic design but I need the ground work done first.
I would love to pay a pro $2k plus, but I can't afford it right now. A pro recommended that I buy a template and start from there. I have looked at hundreds of templates, and ecommerce cart software, leaving me more and more confused as to which way to go.
Here is what I want:
A clean, lightweight site (no flash.....). Most of the site layout would be simple but I do want a customer to be able to select a piece of furniture and configure it (finish, options...) get a instant quote,
pay in full or 50% deposit,
I would build the piece to order, meanwhile while I build I want the customer to be able to log into a page and be able to see progress photos and text I would upload.
I would love to be able to somehow do this with paypal and/or google checkout as I don't think I need most of the features of magento and such. It's a low volume, low selection, high margin type of business.
Any advice as to what I should do , would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Remi
