I make handmade quilts, and would like to sell them online, but i dont know how to get my own website? -

I make handmade quilts and bags and such, and i currently sell some things on ebay but i would like to make a website where i can show pictures of all the pieces that i ve made and sell them too. are there any reasonably priced websites for this? i don t have a ton of capital. would it be better to have a personal website and just link people to ebay if they want to buy my products?? thanks in advance for your answers!

It really depends on if its worth getting your own website.. do you sell enough of the quilts? You can get your domain name from godaddy.com.. you pay yearly for the domain name..Its only like $10 a year. you will also need to get web hosting.. that s using other companies servers.. there space.. I believe that runs like $10-$20 a month or even more depending on the amount of space you use.. Godaddy also offers easy to use website design kits so you can build your own site.. or you can just get a website designer..anyways.. I hope this info is useful.. peace

Mathgirl,I would suggest your own website. Not a free site, you wont get the traffic you need.So you get a web host. It will cost less than $45. a year for everything including domain name and the applications to create the site.I suggest Wordpress, very easy and makes great results. It comes with your web host package.Then you will need a paypal account if you dont already have one. If you do have one, get the paypal button there to put on your website.Then you will need traffic. What you are striving for is for people searching Google for quilts see your link and click it, go to your site,and buy.There are aprox 1000 searches per month for handmade quilts Good Luck check below

I would recommend that you sign up for itsy.com. It s a site where all sorts of craft people sell what they make. You do have to put together your own page, or store, but it s pretty simple....and it s free. Listing prices are inexpensive too.Good luck!
