Can't agree more! When I was evaluating an eCommerce platform for building out My Website, I spent a few hours knocking up a one-page requirements doc. It helped me identify which business outcomes were mandatory and which were optional. This really helped narrow down the field. For example, I split my requirements into four stakeholder groups = photographers, customers, payment/receipts and reporting. Under each stakeholder, I had a business requirement, e.g. photographer must be able to sign up. Photographer must be able to upload images etc... The non-mandatory requirements (like some of the backend reporting) I was happy not to have on Day 1 of launch and so I had tactical solutions in place (like a SQL query instead of a pretty webpage report). I just paid for the features that were mandatory for the basic operation of the business (as I had defined). Over the years, the platform has been updated and ripped apart+rebuilt but I still use the same approach. So much cheaper paying for what you need for the immediate phase of rollout that you find yourself in now. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Domain names are marketing tools. Tools to help gain, convert and retain customers. Their value lies in their ability to do so (and the value of those customers). I think the decision to go with com or net depends on whichever customer brand recall would be better. If you're unsure then my tip is to check out what your top competitor is doing. For example, if you're competing with Sports Direct then I would use the .com like they do. (But the .com gets my vote - and I've put my money where my mouth is! LOL) Hope that helps.

Hey @@designgem, I'm a little late to the party on this post but here goes. From a legal and copyright standpoint, the free stock photos from reputable sites like: - Unsplash - Pexels - Pixabay ...have been sourced and vetted appropriately so there's little risk of pirated images. The photographers that contribute to these sites have granted a Creative Commons Zero license (CC0) which, in short, means you can use without payment or attribution to the photographer or the website. Some of the photographers that contribute these free stock photos are amateurs building a portfolio. Some are professionals that contribute as part of their marketing (e.g. rawpixel). To be clear, it's not stealing. These images (along with the CC0 usage rights) have been granted by these talented photographers for personal or commercial use at zero cost. My advice is just to make sure you source them from reputable sites that have checks in place should there be any question of copyright. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
