Well, it has taken a long time, but we have finally found an e-commerce solution that we love! Its name is BigCommerce. There are so many out there, we have tested, explored, experimented and scrutinsed so many different options and we reckon this is the best.

Our primary concern, is of course the look of the cart itself. There is no use having an online shopping cart that has all the bells and whistles but looks awful. Really, who wants to buy from an ugly site, not us…. The second consideration is of course the functionality of the cart. Big Commerce, ticked all the right boxes for us and for our clients. It could suit a small boutique online seller through to a power seller.

Some of their best features:

• Their fees are great, only $29.95 per month for up to 100 products.
• No transaction fees.
• Great CMS capabilities – it is so easy to customise, the store owner can just drag and drop ‘panels’ to customise the look of each page.
• Great SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) incorporated into the software.
• Free 14 day trial

So if you or anyone you know, wants to start selling online, we have joined forces with BigCommerce to start creating beautiful online stores! Yay!
