Hello.

we are a small limited company and we want to start the e-commerce business,

We want to have a good website like gearbest or jumia for example to sell our product locally in our country only - no international shipping -

But we don't know have any clue about how to get a website like this or how much does it costs.

Or should just use shopify or woocommerce WordPress?

    Shopify is a monthly fee so see what they are charging now a days. Woo commerce you had to pay for the themes and develop the site after that it is just hosting and yearly domain fees. A little cheaper in then Shoplify on a yearly basis.

    Just looking at the page source of gearbest the site looks to be custom coded. So I doubt that site is either of the shopify or woo commerce. You can have someone build you a nice looking site if you do not have the skills to do it. Or you can have the companies built one for you. Good luck and take a good luck at some threads here in the e-commerce section in the first 2-3 pages when this section was launched.

    I have been making shopify sites for a few months now. I did extensive research into all eCommerce hosting sites and just found that shopify fits me the most (in my case since i don't have a brink and mortar).
    Currently my site is called Calimakana.com (also on facebook). This site is my third attempt. Each site you build will get better and better after learning what you can and can't do and your skill gets better.
    I was able to find a niche that had a good enough margin that I could be the Cheapest on the internet. I only have a few sells but that is my fault since I am not good at advertising yet.
    If any Gurus have the time, check out my site and tell me what you think please. Thanks
    I could also use advertising tips (especially places that i can advertise for free... STUFF IS EXPENSIVE

    There are pluses and minuses to every eCommerce platform. We usually recommend Shopify because it is the easiest for newbies to understand.

    I recommend you use Shopify but use a custom theme which you can buy from someone on fiverr. This will then give you a sense of originality over other brands that may be your competitors. I wouldn't spend too much on building a website I would just recommend using shopify and paying the small monthly fee of $29.
