Hi all,
New here, I've recently decided to get into web design & hosting. I've spent several months learning HTML, CSS, Bootstrap framework and small amounts of jquery/javascript. I'm not too bad with the front-end of stuff, however I would have no real idea how the back-end would work in something like an online store and linking it to the different payment processors.
I came across Shopify and liked the idea of the lite version as it would allow me to add buying options into an existing website with a minimal amount of code and would ultimately checkout through their platform. Would this be a waste of money (monthly and % fees taken) or do you think it's a viable option, at least in the shorter term for potential clients?
I see that there are some opensource platforms but honestly, from the one's I've seen they look pretty bad (visually).
If anyone could point me in the right direction or give some input I would really appreciate it .
Many thanks.
