That's excellent Rach, good on ya!

BTW someone at work is looking to have a site with a shop for selling fashion - can you do that kind of thing?

They'd need to look at getting ecommerce software (you can buy it online) and then I'd be able to work around that :)

Give them my email addy if you like and I can chat with them :)

Ok thanks.:thumbsup: Do you know if they have a content management system with them or is that a separate thing?

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

To be honest I dont know too much about them - but I would assume it was included?

Maybe someone else will come along with a bit more info?? I'd be interested to find out more actually too.

Most e-commerce software is pretty much stand alone, out of the box type stuff with a built in administration section but if you required a larger, more comprehensive site, with discussion forums and the like, you can easily tie the two together.

They could also use a CMS such as Drupal, Xoops or Joomla that have e-commerce plugins. These packages allow total control over your site and there are thousands of modules and plugins to enhance the functionality.

It's not a huge task to build a tailor-made store from scratch but there are numerous Open Source (free) solutions out there that can be adapted to their requirements but unless they are experts, I wouldn't suggest attempting to build it themselves with a WYSIWYG site builder. If it's for a business that wants to be taken seriously, I would advise they have it done professionally and shop around for quotes before committing.
