Ecommerce on a shoestring budget…
Found a new service today that looks like a wonderful tool for organizations that want to sell a few items without all the headaches that full-blown ecommerce websites tend to create. Big Cartel is a simple build-it-yourself shopping cart that is perfect for bands, indie record labels, and artists that have a few things they want to make available. You can even sign up for free if you have 5 or less products. You will have a dot.bigcartel domain, but if you are only going to sell a few products, that’s no big deal.
You might wonder why FreshYields, a company that builds ecommerce sites, would blog positively about another company that builds ecommerce sites. Well, it’s really pretty simple. It’s important for our prospective clients to research all alternatives before deciding which solution is best for them. We feel it’s our obligation to find the perfect fit for any firm or individual that approaches us about ecommerce, internet marketing, or even just web design. Everybody has different goals, and it is important to not only meet those goals, but to do it efficiently. Oh, and their site’s design it pretty kick-ass. I’m a sucker for clean, standards-based design.
