I have a website that has no content at this time. The site has Wordpress Thesis Theme already installed and several plugins that I wish to use, however some of the plugins such as Headspace2 have not yet been configured. It is a must that you have extensive knowledge of Thesis and Openhook. As well as some knowledge of Headspace2. It is my hope to not only brand my site but to sell a variety of dog products particularly for small dogs. I have no inventory so all products are affiliated products I wish to sell. I am wondering how can I set up an e-store without inventory because my products are through affiliates. I am in need of webdesign with both static and dynamic pages, videos, and an abundant amount of information to attract customers. Im not exactly sure about how many pages I will need but at this point I have about 40 products or so. I am also interested in a flash header or logo to capture interest right off the bat . I need someone who has extensive knowledge on how to set up my website and give me solid advise on how to pick the categories and subcategories as well as SEO. I will answer all replies promptly when online. I can be contacted through this forum or at chetthizzle atttttt comcasttttttttttt net

        I thought about this but am wondering can these templates be incorporated into the Thesis theme? I am also wondering how is SEO on these pre-made templates? Additionally, are these themes user friendly for newbies and can I easily add content and products to these without screwing things up?

      Hi,

      Two of you wanted more information but I am unsure exactly what information you requesting. This is probably due to my inexperience so bear with me. I purchased the Thesis theme for wordpress so I wanted to use it. From my understanding wordpress blogs are SEO friendly and Google supposedly loves them. I actually love the theme and it is very user friendly. Why I am not designing it myself is because I spent 6 days designing it with much success (being a newbie all) I actually had 2 pages completed when I did something trying to edit one of the custom_header.php file (I think thats what it was) and my site disappeared. I tried everything and had to start all over again with a fresh reinstall. This is why I am searching for someone who knows what they are doing. Being a newbie I dont exactly know what is best. Please share your thoughts and maybe I can get some kind of inclination of what I should do. I'm sorry if I am not providing the right kind of information so you can assist me. Please let me know what kind of information you need. Thanks

    Hi. I am thinking that with an e-commerce site you may end up getting a pre-made template. You can also find some free ones on sites like xt-commerce and comersus. Just google the terms Open Source Ecommerce software and then read some reviews.

    To put them on your own website (recommended) there is a learning curve for sure. Just go slowly and follow the directions. If it is too hard to do, you can hire somebody to help you at a site like guru.com or elance. This kind of site where you advertise what you want somebody to do for you (like make a logo, theme, or flash intro page) will help you and not cost a lot. They can also post your site for you on to your web server or to your WordPress blog page.

    I heard that you can use WordPress for e-commerce too. I have not used WordPress a lot, so I had to look this one up. Seems that there is a plug-in called WP e-Commerce that goes with WordPress. It is made for it. It seems to be rated 3 stars out of 5 at the site. You also may want a commercially made template.

    Hope this helps you!

      Thanks for the advise. I guess one of the problems I have as a newbie is thinking this can all be done overnight, when the truth is as Cliffy stated under your post, I need to do some research. I do however appreciate everyone help in getting me on the right track. Im going to be looking into those templates and also the WP ecommerce plugin. I didn't even know they had one. Thanks again
