    Ecommerce platforms

    As others have suggested WordPress/Woocommerce is a good setup for an online store that's not got a huge inventory. Its free to install WP and WOO and the related plugins which often free ones will be more than adequate. The cost comes when you need additional features and a more...

    Cash Only a thing of the past?

    Definitely not! In our neck of the woods every single takeaway and fast food joint will NOT take card payments any-more. Some actually had sumup and a few different card machines pre covid (and during) but now they only take cash. To them cash is king. When they did take card payment we loved...

    Struggling to get first sale

    Hi John, Agree with what others have already said. Definitely need better on-site product copy and images that really sell your product(s). Tell a story about your brand (will help with some recommendations below). We wouldn't go down the route of traditional marketing i.e magazines/newspapers...
