    Fiverr can be a good place to start. I've used it for a number of different services and if you look hard enough you can find some really great quality for the $5 the charge.

    New To E-Commerce

    I highly recommend to stay away from Volusion. I had the worst experience with them. Set up was complicated, and the after service they provide is non existent. Any time I had an urgent problem, it took them days to reply to emails. I would not recommend them to anyone.

    Not a regular 9 to 5 job

    What is the best free tools for seo?

    Tools that I use often are SEO for chrome and Mozbar extensions on Google chrome. I can quickly access PR and DA of websites just by the click of a button. And both are free.

    Best way to advertise

    Depending on your budget I would suggest a PPC (pay-per-click) campaign). This would help people searching for your keywords see your advertisements at the top and side of a Google search page.

    Thoughts on a takeaway service app?

    Just-eat already provide this service for free. However it would be good for your customers to offer this service for free. Essentially cutting out the middle man of just-eat. I myself would prefer dealing with the takeaway directly, although I do think just-eat is an awesome idea.
