How I’m working to revamp my online webstore

Last year I started Dorinda’s Diva Shoppe – an online web store that specialized in affordable and divalicious products. As of now, it’s temporarily closed while I revamp the set-up and Facebook page.  One of my biggest struggles was finding a page design and shopping experience that I liked. I wanted something that was user-friendly, professional and affordable.

I may have found a solution! Using an online shopping cart software had never entered my mind, but after reviewing 1ShoppingCart.com – I’m seriously considering it. I’m not the most tech savvy diva so a user-friendly product is essential.  Not having set-up fees, free store templates and post-sale upsells are what really stand out for me when reviewing this website and thinking of my specific needs.

Is this something my business can afford to have?

The key decision will be affordability, of course. I need to balance my projected monthly sales and profits with the recurring monthly fee for the service. The services that 1ShoppingCart.com could possibly save me time and energy (marketing, secure payment processing with options that fit almost every online shopper, and easy inventory management).

It’s not a decision that I will make overnight but another plus, in my opinion, is that they offer a 30 day free trial so I can try out their services before fully committing.

I will definitely keep you all posted once I make my final decision. In the meantime, I’d love your input if you’ve used this site or one similar to it.
