Use shopify or pay somone to design website for me?
I am in the market to start my new business venture selling boxed sealed foods.
I have the products and box shipments pricing down. I just need a website now to start getting customers.
I'm looking at designing my website through shopify, but I have no knowledge of desiging websites, SEO, or anything that comes after, how do I promote my page other than instagram, fb and youtube?
Also, I would need a customer subscription button which shopify charges at $20 a month along with website $29 a month so that's already $49 a month and I have to do all the website design etc and no help of SEO.
I found webeminence.com on youtube and he is offering $500 for website + SEO and $40 a month for 1 year then $9 a month from there on and he takes care of everything.
Also, my local craigslist ecommerce services offer the same thing, but webeminence's youtube videos makes me sound like he know what hes doing much more than local craigslist.
Would this be a good investment to start my business? I mean, the website is all I got in terms of selling my product and I want to make it the best and drive the most traffic possible to it.
Start up money within the thousand is not an issue since I have a day job, I realize at $10 a box profit , it would take me 60 customers to regain from this investment, but all is worth it if I get customers, rather than using shopify and not getting any customers.
An example of website I want to "duplicate" would be universalyums.com for reference.
Thanks for your help .
