Mention ecommerce or setting up an online shopping carts and suddenly everything gets complex and expensive.. Those big ecommerce websites often cost tens of thousands to setup, and rightly so. As in any store, there’s lots to consider and lots of upkeep required. But for home or small businesses selling just a few dozen items, there are some great low cost alternatives.

We mentioned earlier of using industry-standard website technologies like WordPress, being a stunning, affordable, super-reliable technology that enjoys the support of thousands of developers, and millions of users worldwide.

What’s especially neat is the ability to bring in a new ‘look’ or extra function in minutes through it’s amazing plug ins

There is a plugin specifically for WordPress to handle online shopping. Best of all, it’s been developed by a New Zealand developer, Instinct. Considering that 99% of WordPress developers are based offshore, then we’re especially blessed to have these guys here.

Instinct don’t normally build a shopping site for you, but provide the low cost toolsets for people like ourselves to quickly add a slick shopping card to an existing WordPress-based website. Generally just a day’s additional work is all that’s required to set it up.

Amazing.
