I may have to answer this question via a video. Can you tell me what the goal is for having a website? Will it be to showcase sample work? Showcase equipment? Is finding you above local competition in search important?

Also the short answer about having one or not and relying on social media is: ALWAYS have a website, even if for now it’s one very comprehensive page. You need a URL, a home-base and I will explain why in the video. I appreciate the topic idea. If you want to tell me more about your business I’ll give you my professional opinion and set you in the right direction.

[quote quote=1571]Well, what I want to do is create unique shirt designs as well other garments and sell them online, also do company, family reunion, special event shirts/garments/canvas bags, etc…whether it be local companies or other companies around the country. I thought I would give etsy a try as well as an e-commerce site, set up a merchant account to be able to take credit cards, etc…

I have a brand that I am in the middle of trademarking that I want sell and possibly draw in business and also fund other shirt ideas. So I guess a store front would be a good idea.

Also, what is a good company, I have had Go Daddy in the past but I’m sure there are better hosting companies out there now for a much better price.

Thanks Mike, do you have a link for that video?[/quote]

I will address all of this in a NEW video! I will record it in the next week. These are questions I get asked all of the time so this is perfect to set me up to blab!

Also I recently set up a shop: https://www.terranovabakery.com/shop (I built and maintain this site)

[quote quote=1575]Yea, that’s exactly what I am thinking about doing, a simple and easy to navigate site to sell products and draw in business. I probably couldn’t afford you, lol, but any recommendations on putting together something like that would be appreciated…!

Thanks Mike, blab away![/quote]

I’ll hook you up and set you on the right path!
