E-Commerce Web Sites Out of the Box Solution

[Mark Spritzler]

OK, I am really close to finishing my product design, on my third prototype and really close, and I am looking into creating my website to sell my product. It is only one product with two versions, and I am taking Credit Cards through Paypal and Google Checkout. So I don't need anything over the top.

I would like one that has a nice builder that makes up to date cool looking websites. I do not want to touch any HTML, CSS, JavaScript as many know my opinion on trying to code in it. I just don't enjoy doing that stuff, I like quick and easy and cheap.

I would rather pay someone else for SEO and Marketing my product that website design, especially if I can get a cool looking site quickly. I only see 3 or 4 pages.

Anyone have experience with any companies out there that have the Out of the Box solution.

Thanks

Mark

There are out of the box CSS / HTML templates available for free out there.

As for out of the box pages that are backed by a framework, Joomla seems to be an easy way out. If your ISP supports it, you can add a skin and configure the page as you please. No coding involved.

Or are you looking for something that involves HTML / CSS without a framework backing

I think giving this task to a 3rd party vendor will be the great idea.Nowadays these tasks are more cheaper as compared to previous 2 years.
Whatever you use Joomla or wordpress both are good at there own place.Marks is also talking about the SEO .SEO is not one man army task , it requires some extra efforts and more strategies which changes from time to time.What you say ?

How about Kagi?

That looks very interesting. I might not start with it, but if I grow to a good size, they seem to have a lot of what I was looking for. But they go by a percentage of your sales and the percentages are pretty high.

I am not looking to outsource. I don't want something like Joomla, because that would require me to code still. The type of site I am looking for would also be an ISP. I don't want to have to manage my server, install software or anything like that. Yes call me lazy, but I don't have those extra hours to put into developing the site as I need those ours to marketing and sales.

Thanks for everyone's input so far.

Other examples are like

www.weebly.com

Yahoo storefront

wordpress, but that has a little bit of configuration stuff to handle

www.shopify.com

Intuit's site (Nice stuff, but I didn't like their templates.)

www.1and1.com

http://www.sitesell.com/

http://buildabizsite.net

I just don't know which are better than the others. There was one website www.sitecube.com in which I found posts around that said they are a scam.

Thanks

OK, I am deciding to use www.shopify.com

They have a decent price, not really cheap, but found their first free template to be exactly what I imaged that I would want. With a fresh up to date Website look. All the features of SEO optimizable, customizable, secure, and they have a really cool "app store" to add some great features to you website with a simple click of the button.

I think there I can then go out and find a few great SEO contractors to update my site and I am good to go.

Thanks
