    i want to move a small store from etsy to its own site. i don't want to have to build the thing from the ground up, i want some sort of CMS so updating is easy, and an integrated shopping system.

    what should i start looking at?

    • (I admin a shopify site - it's got its quirks, but is quite modifiable, if you can be bothered).Nairn
    • yeah i wanna just re-skin something with my identity. no sense in reinventing the wheel in this case. thanks!scarabin
    • i like that this has a point-of-sale system attached!scarabin
    • shopify yep. I run 4 websites on there and as Nairn says anything is possible if you dig deep but for a basic store it is great.fadein11
    • Shopify is cool, I run 1 for me and 3 for clients, the problem is plugins are priced per/mo so it can add up compared to WPGuyFawkes
    • WP (woocommerce) is a lot more maintenance though, I run a few of those and am in the process of building moreGuyFawkes

    • WP way better when it comes to SEOGuyFawkes
    • WP with Shopify or Woo plugins.utopian
    • WP with Shopify? wut?fadein11
    • It's a small site, there are obviously way better options to Shopify but I think he just wants a simple option which is Shopify.fadein11
    • if you are going WP route use Woo. why pay for shopify on top of Wordpress.fadein11
    • I’ll look into it. Thanks!scarabin
    • What kind of product numbers are we talking? If its a lowish number on wordpress and you only need paypal payment then WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart is easy.webazoot
