I have built many woocommerce websites...some with over 25,000 products It is a superior product, with low development costs and lots of add ons to choose from

Start with a platform like Wordpress. Wordpress is slowlybecoming the industry standard for small websites. Do not skimp on leaning a programming language or MYSQL however, they will come in handy once you have a good grasp and those skills will put you above the rest
