What is a good E-commerce Website to use?

I setup my first shopping cart ever the other day. Pretty weird given that I've been online since 1997.

I used Wordpress with Woocommerce.

It took me about 20 minutes and it was free.

Hi, domainscience. That's a really great question about ecommerce systems. It really depends on what your level of comfort is with regards to the different kinds of ecommerce technology out there. Volusion is one that you mentioned but it doesn't seem like it's working for you.

There's a couple of solutions that you might want to check. One is FoxyCart at foxycart.com. Depending on the number of products that you have in your store, it's an easy solution to implement and I use it on a number of client sites.

You might also want to check out Shopify. Shopify is built with the designer in mind so that you can worry more about designing and what you want to build than having to know the nitty-gritty details that's going on with the text side of things on the website.

Then you can go the next level. There's one that I frequently use. As a matter of fact, I have a store set up with it. The solution's called Magento Commerce. It might be an easier solution to use in the sense that you can download the community version for free and buy a premium theme for it and be off and running quickly. The learning curve is kind of steep though and it's a pretty heavy system in terms of server resources usage so you'd want to make sure you have a really solid hosting plan for it.

One other ecommerce solution that I use is Drupal's Ubercart which I've got running on a couple of my clients' sites on. My own site actually uses it for a couple different things. It's very robust, very easy to use...that is, if you know how to use Drupal.

If you're using WordPress, I've actually got this post - 5 Remarkable eCommerce Systems to Power Your Store. I mentioned FoxyCart there but I think the ecommerce tools there should set you off on the right foot and get you started on where you need to go. Hope that helps.
