eCommerce Solutions #1
Annette Piper asked to see solutions for easy affordable, professional websites that were easily self-managed. I thought I would do a series, one article for every do it yourself website system that I recommend. These systems are very easily maintained, and require no download or knowledge of html whatsoever. This first company I will talk about is the best one in my opinion.
Mostly because they've been around the longest. They were the original online craft website builder. I've hosted with them for about three years and highly recommend their services. Their templates (that are free) are professional-looking and they have a host of graphic designers (of which I am one, lol) on their team that can provide quality graphics at affordable prices. So, without further ado, here is #1 in the eCommerce Website Builders Series.
