try Ebay first
I wanted to create my own website to promote products. I tried to build one using how to build a websites . They were easy to use but they didn��t really do what I needed and like you said the control panel was way confusing.I found this place on Facebook. They guaranteed I could build a website after I used them. It was actually pretty cool. They were able to log right onto my computer and show me everything I needed. It took about 2 hours. When I was done I could build just about any kind of website I wanted.(I have found website building is very addictive)I keep making page after page and can customize it anyway I want.It was only $75.00 and they were very professional. I think they were just starting out. The guy that helped me was really nice. He explained everything he was doing while I watched from my computer screen. Then I took over and he watched and talked me through all the steps.
I m not sure what items you make, but if it s anything craft related at all, try etsy.com It is a very reputable website for people to sell and buy crafts they make. With the info you ve given us, I wouldn t suggest a a website just to sell things. You ll be 9,976th in search results, and unless you sell things that are truly unique, people won t find your site. Also, I know I d feel more comfortable buying from a seller on eBay, Etsy, etc. before buying from a private site.
Depending on what kind of computer you use there are many different way to get a website started. If you use a Mac, then iWeb is the best and easiest way to get started. If you use a PC then there are many different drag and drop website programs that you can use. Having a Domain Name isn t necessary to have at first but thinking of one that you are sure that you can live with for a while is a good idea. You will however, need to have one when you decide to publish your site.I hope this helps

Since your not very computer savvy you should just seek out a web designer they can be a bit pricey but since your running a business and you will need there help a lot they may work with u on the price. Your business name will most likely be the name of your website. If your looking for a price range i would look towards the 1500 range for professional work.
