Hi all,
Just wondered if the collective brain could give me a few pointers.
My Mrs has an online store that sells ladies wear and accesories. It's been going for years and all the sales and e-commerce stuff is handled by a big outside company that deals with photography, logistics etc. It's all very good but there's quite a few reasons why we need to build our own e-commerce site. We'll still sell through that channel but we want to now have our own store we can control and update etc.
We're about to put some proper effort into it now as the kids are off to nursery etc. so we have the time. It does OK as is considering how little time and attention it gets but it's now time to see what it can (or possibly can't..) do.
We need to commision someone to build the site and probably do some UX and design. I have a design background, can do wireframes etc. but I appreciate my limits.
I've been told by a few folks we should be looking into Magento, which I have at a superficial level.
I have the feeling the programmer we usually use isn't quite up to what we need here so rather than sticking a pin in the magento partners list or something similar I thought I'd just ask. And see if I get.
Anyone have any recommendations? Any idea of what sort of cost we'd be looking at? What should I be looking for?
Any help appreciated and repaid in a beer if I see you out somewhere.
Ta all,
B.
