    Well if you want to do it yourself (with PayPal), or if you want to try oscommerce ( http://www.oscommerce.com/ ) I would be happy to host it for free for you. You would need your own domain though (£10 max).

    Yeah i've found my domain, it's just over £5 for two years.

    Thanks for that link, i've never heard of it but looks great. Do I need any experience using databases, php, anything advanced like that?

    Thanks for that offer of the hosting, that's really good of you. I'm just waiting to hear from a couple of web designers, i'm going to try and design something myself and have a good look around oscommerce. I'll get back to you as soon as I know what we're doing :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    Hello Hayley,
    My name’s Lynden, and I think I could have the perfect solution for you!
    I’m a student, running a website design and hosting company – and we do pre-built, fully customised online stores. It includes a full-online product editor, pricing, delivery structure. As well as customer management, automated checkout process and order tracking. It will make selling your products effortless! There’s a team of two of us, so if you were to ever have any trouble (which I very much doubt you would!) we could help you! If you’re interested, feel free to drop a reply or PM me
    Lynden :)

    Or, you could send a PM yourself instead of publicly touting for business.

    I can recommend Mal's Ecommerce. (I have no connection with this company). It provides (unbelievably) a completely FREE shopping cart system that will connect to Paypal automatically. You have to have some knowledge of HTML (but you say you have). There's a technical section that explains how to set it up.
    There is also a Forum where you can get advice.
    See http://www.mals-e.com

    I used this some years ago and my son still uses it on his web site.

    damn.. if there are people touting for work on here, maybe i should start..

    oh ... no.. it's against the rules of the forum to advertise, and therefore i won't..

    but, on things like this, especially, when you want something designing that needs to be really accessible, maybe you do need to employ a web designer... accessibility is a huge thing, and there are so many little rules and regs you really need to stick to, for it to work well, with screen reader software.
