    Beginners guide to setting up an ecommerce site and recommendations.

    Finleydesign, I had a look at your website thank you but I don't think I need that level of design? Fisicx, can you recommend a site to buy a domain from? I'm terrified of getting scammed. Will it come with an email address too? I was thinking of using Hi Hosting that I have seen has got...

    Beginners guide to setting up an ecommerce site and recommendations.

    Hi, I need to set up an eccomerce site to sell children's t shirts. I literally don't know where to start or which platform would be best. There will only be a small amount of products - between 3 and 10 to start. I just need something very clean and simple. I was thinking Wordpress with...

    The most ridiculous question (sorry!) Receipts?

    Hi everyone, I forgot I'd posted this and didn't get any email notifcations - sorry for not replying! In the end I paid someone on fiverr to mock up a nice looking customer invoice which is what I receive when I buy from similar brands. I also hand write a little message thanking customers...

    The most ridiculous question (sorry!) Receipts?

    Hi, I have started my own little business designing children's t shirts, got my products today and got the word out on social media etc. I have got a few orders (yippee!) But I have a complete mental block. Most of the orders are from friends etc, so when I give them their orders what do I...

    Web Designers and Marketing

    As a start up this thread has made me feel nervous getting in touch with a web developer.

    What to do?

    Go to a few trade shows, get involved and make contacts. You can't just build a business having spare money and spare time. You need the acumen to get yourself out there, research, predict what upcoming trends are etc.

    What to do?

    My 2 year old also has autism so I feel the need to be at home with him also. I'm creating a children's clothing brand but it is very slow due to scrimping and saving the funds together. How about developing a blog/network/forum for parents working from outside or inside the home with SEN...

    Can I sell clothes from a Chinese wholesale at a trade show?

    Yeah...I made a rookie error! They're not bad, just not as high quality as id like. They are a kids harem with say a star print on. I expected the star to kind of be in the fabric but instead it's like a vinyl print on top of the cotton. The biggest problem I am having is finding the perfect...

    Can I sell clothes from a Chinese wholesale at a trade show?

    Thanks for the replies...well I was a little quick off the mark trying to cut corners and they are not as good as I was expecting o_O Going to do it the proper way and get my own designs made here, just wish I had more ££ to start (don't we all!) Better remember my eBay password!

    Can I sell clothes from a Chinese wholesale at a trade show?

    I just assumed anything you sold at a trade fair would have to be designed by yourself. What if someone else has the same stuff? They are just leggings in a patterned fabric, no embellishments or buttons etc but I'll get in contact with trading standards to see what road I should go down...

    Can I sell clothes from a Chinese wholesale at a trade show?

    Sorry, wasn't sure where to post this. I have designed some children's t-shirts which I am awaiting delivery on. I also wanted to design some leggings but finding the right fabric, and someone to make them was nigh on impossible. I saw some perfect ones on a Chinese wholesale site which I...

    Mods do sometimes Alert when posts are deleted

    Yep I did, after excitedly gabbing away too much of my business idea, someone thanked me for giving him the idea. Asked to get it removed and was told no. Then the item moq increased about a hundredth fold. Yippee. Have learned my lesson not to blab now though!
