From what i've seen not,
Ppl at /Biz seem to have fallen for some meme, set off by someone giving away passes for shopify.

New business startup here

I have experience in making my own website with zero programming ability, but the ability to google what I need, sometimes asking biz and trying to figure all this shit out.

When it comes to eCommerce, a lot of stuff provides you with a shopping cart, at which point you can check out, etc. For your business, it sounds like the kind of setup you want. For my business, I don't want a shopping cart, because I run an online service. I just want them to click the buy button, enter their info, then we begin. So I was in this predicament forever, but I finally found through /biz/ about Gravity Forms and the Stripe plugin. I will always use Stripe because it accepts an absurd amount of currencies.

Anyways, look at shopify, woocommerce, wordpress, SQUARESPACE. I put squarespace in caps, because at the same time I started my business, two friends made their own and said squarespace was incredibly easy to use.

You'll want to compare fees and everything of each company, to see which meets your needs best. Since you'll be charging money, your website will want an SSL cert too

Thanks for your input m8. I've been looking into squarespace as well, might give it another look.

what's the best way to advertise our business ?

>>1929993
I don't know yet, but I'm planning on paying FaceBook and Google for starters, since I'll be experimenting with investor money. All I'd need is like 1-2 sales for those advertisements to be refunded. Then I plan to manually put ads everywhere on free places, like Craigslist. Besides those, I'm not sure where to advertise. After that I'll probably just google other places to advertise and if they're inexpensive or I can do it myself, then I'll yolo it

Good luck to you bro. How'd you get investor money? Kickstarter?

>>1930049
Nope, good ol' mommy
But to elaborate, since it's an online service with zero physical product to sample and create or import, the only money I needed was for legal stuff and website stuff. I have my own savings, but she said since it's my first one, she'd be my banker for this one. I will be able to pay her back easily.

That's awesome dude. Hope everything turns out well for you.

>>1930065
I hope everything turns out for you as well. If you want to keep in touch to see how businesses are progressing, put a dummy email

Will you want to produce garments abroad or import fabrics?

>>1929513
That's was about dropshipping. I assume OP would have inventory if it's a "fashion label"

>>1929946
TIL about Stripe.
Every once in a while /biz/ is informative

>>1930395
Curious about this do

>>1931535
Well, if it's a 'fashion label' they would need new collection 2/4 times a year.

Which sex primarily are you targeting, or both?

We design our shirts, hoodies, tank-tops. Get them made, (we're still deciding whether to make them ourselves or have them made by another company designed for that stuff). Then sell it on our website.
