$ to create a basic e-commerce website

Heya web-doodz,

I'm trying to sell a product, and a simple website is needed. Knowing nothing of what it takes to build a secure site, I guess you'd be asking me more questions than I'd be asking you.

I just need to set up a website for a single product in various package deals that has a home, about, registration, contact page and secure checkout without the hassle of the paypal system.

Ball park figure, how much would it cost to set something up?

Sell it on ebay or etsy. I think Amazon also has services for this. Much larger audience and you don't have to play games with search/ads.

What are you selling?

Selling a fast-drying, hygienic, exfoliating, scrubby washcloth that hits up all bases. Long enough to get a good back scrub on... put it in a zip-bag for travel.

Those towels are way too small.

If they were useless, 200,000,000 units would not have been sold.

just because something sells doesn't mean it isn't useless

the world is full of useless people buying useless things.

It does do a great job of scrubbing your back efficiently - not that your back needs scrubbing, but eventually, cancerous cells will develop from gnar backne and cell death/mutation. So in a sense I'm helping cure skin cancer by distributing these.

then perhaps you should be working on an infomercial and some huckster charisma instead of a website.

I'm working on it, but have yet to find an investor to front the money for my ad campaign. Also looking for a female model.

If 200MM have already been sold then I suspect the pool of potential buyers has been maxed out.

Except us. You've already ruined the chance to wow the potential market. I've lost interest and have moved onto the next fad of the week.

since you enjoy a good punch to the face you might enjoy the go-it-on-your-own process,
but I believe PMANN gave the best advice earlier.....be an ebay seller.

even if you have a site, you have to drive people there.
from where you might ask?

hmmm, pretty sure there are millions, money in hand, already on ebay.
wheel already invented, built and rolling with an open invitation to ride along.

if your product is all that you believe it is, then go make some easy money on ebay and then go get an education/beat-down with your own site.

Since you seem borderline retarded about technical things, as much as I'd enjoy watching you try to configure a server and install an ecomm platform, here's another vote for ebay. Just make sure you build a list of buyers so you can sell them some other shitty product down the road.

Technical? You haven't seen my footwork son! And yes, I've swapped an engine in a '55 ford flatbed. I got some tekneex.
