anyone know where you get a basic e-commerce site for under £10k?

Hi Chloe,

I've worked in-house or consulted on e-commerce projects for several leading companies including Halifax, Zubka, TrustedPlaces, Songkick, DesktopLawyer and Sweatshop among others.

With a bigger budget you could afford to build your own, but given what you said it's probably not the best approach.

There are several tried and tested, cheap or free e-commerce platforms available, so you could spend the majority of your money on customising the design and functionality to match your requirements, rather than reinventing the proverbial wheel.

Being a search marketing consultancy rather than a traditional design agency, means that we can help it to rank well too. More to the point, as a result of our search marketing work we have partnerships with several local web design agencies and have a team of freelancers too, so can work with whichever development route best fits your budget.

Some, but not all, platforms are SEO friendly which is worth bearing in mind from the start, as it the ability to cross sell, search, sort and filter effectively and integrate email and PPC campaigns, vouchers and associated marketing strategies.

I'd be happy to discuss your requirements in more detail and can be called on 07956 990 216 or by email to anthony@marketappeal.co.uk.

Thanks,

Anthony Sharot
