    Coping with inflation: Has anybody renegotiated terms or prices with their suppliers?

    If you’re wanting to offer low prices fine but wouldn’t you just be better off keeping the prices low and not mentioning any price freeze just in case? Trust doesn’t really come down to it when they are being squeezed.

    How do you design your products?

    So you just want it done for you with no real investment - time or money? The whole selling point of your product is the design on it. By the way, every man and his dog has started a T shirt print business at this point

    Easiest website to set up?

    Neither is hosting WordPress unless you’re going to use free hosting which means your site could disappear at any time and I doubt any free hosts could pass any sort of PCI audit. Shopify works well for one product.

    The truth is most competent web agencies and even some freelancers would just decline such a small project. Then you get stuck with Fiverr level crap

    Some Questions Regarding Money Paid To Me Online via my website

    Depends on the setup. Shared hosting is restricted in more ways than resource limits (which are usually crap). Factor in if he needs a VPS or dedicated server for running a specific server stack that shared hosting wouldn’t offer (E.g for sending SMS). Then if it’s a VPS he’ll probably need...

    Website Development Costs

    Coming back to this thread - we use WordPress to build client sites amongst other platforms but there’s more solid options for someone who’s just going to knock up a site themselves. It has a higher learning curve, requires ongoing maintenance to keep it secure and it’ll need backing up. Choose...

    Website Development Costs

    I don’t think your requirements of “nothing cheap and scruffy” will tie up with that pricing. £500 is very low for WordPress site, even with a pre-built theme. Also, define basic. Basic to one person could be quite complex to another so it’s difficult to know what your requirements are for the...

    How to get low-cost social media assistance

    He should save the time and money on social media and focus on the site first. It looks cheap and amateur like most DIY sites. The Wix banner on mobile doesn’t help. It might be a solid idea - but the execution is off and that won’t drive people to use it.

    How to get low-cost social media assistance

    Why would social media talent work for the “low cost” you’re wanting? And the schemes you’ve listed are training schemes. They are designed to allow the person to learn from someone more experienced so they can learn the skillset, not for cheap labour. It doesn’t sound like you have someone...

    Woocommerce Cloud Hosting & CDN

    Sometimes the extra DNS lookups etc can negate the benefits. It also depends on the CDN having a PoP near to you - or nearer than the sites server. For a global audience they more often than not make sense.

    Could this platform idea work?

    Of course the other solution is don’t develop anything at all and let the clients who can’t afford a proposal go elsewhere.

    Could this platform idea work?

    As a partner we introduce large and small businesses to Shopify. However many of the smaller businesses we introduce are put off by the recurring app fees which in many cases come to 3-4x their plan cost. For example, customising products with additional fields and add one comes in at...

    Klarna or Clearpay?

    From experience, Klarna have the much easier onboarding experience and less stringent requirements compared to Clearpay. I don’t remember Klarna even having a turnover requirement. It doesn’t really matter to Klarna. They’re offering virtual pay monthly cards to consumers now so even stores...
