Thanks for the great commentary. I also like your webiste.

Who wrote the content text for the website?

How will you update the content text if you want to add or edit text?

Cheers,
Paul in Los Angeles

I guess a cart solution like OSC is overkill for a one product site.

Most of the work went into order management & payment gateway integration. By hiring someone who does that type of specific work all the time it allowed the site to get done quicker. If I had tried to learn to do it, for the first time, the site probably wouldn’t have gotten launched until Summer.

Didn’t expect to be reading about organic garden compost tumblers this morning but go figure.

Question – Look at the site it doesn’t seem like it would take a lot of bespoke work to produce. What was the main reason you contracted somebody else to do it, rather than using a previous site as a template and doing it yourself. Or, of course, was this the first site like this, or was it simply a time issue?

I really like the logo.

You’ve definitely got me thinking about single produce e-commerce now.

I see sites as addresses, not specific businesses, and I always list my registered business name as the domain name owner and in the footer copyright.

And no, I did not have to purchase any stock or start with any minimum with the manufacturer. Some may require such a thing though.

I’d like to get into e-commerce, and you’ve helped lay it on the line pretty well.

So, if your wholesaler is dropshipping them for you, then you also had to purchase no stock, right? Was there a bond or a minimum you had to lay out to the wholesaler?

What would be your considerations for that?

Great post! Great way to learn about ecommerce. Keep up posted and good luck.

No squeeze page, no yellow and almost no red.

Seriously, it’s really nice to see a real product, for real people without all the hype.

Thanks
