Could you please help me? (sorry if this is a bit off topic) I am not technically minded, but I would like to start an online store. What should I start with? Are there any pitfalls that I should be aware of? Thank you
this isnt really the place to get a really good answer! The best place would bw http://www.hotscripts.com where you will find many scripts for starting a online store! obviously you will need to start with a business plan etc etc. Also if you were to buy a script, it might not meet your needs, however if you got someone to write you one it would but would be much more expensive! I hope this helps, also visit http://www,sitepointforums.com an excellent place to ask such questions!
search for x-cart on the hotscripts.com I've read its the best if you wana change the way it looks and has great features!
