Website template

jt88jt88 Posts: 3,190 ✭✭✭✭✭

I really need to get out of eBay since eBay make it very hard for sellers. I am thinking to close my eBay store or not review it. I need to build a good website that can provide good photos. Can someone recommend me some good template to buy?

    Almost all hosting service have templates.

    I use Auctiva which is a pay service.

    Check out my website (template) at the first link below.

    your website is good but I want the photo can be pop up or enlarge. My hosting service does not has good template that I like.

    I, along with a few other dealers that post on the forum use Weebly, I recommend it highly.

    well, I have already has my hosting site so I can't use weebly. All I need is a template to build a better website.

    I use squarespace. Pay a yearly fee and it's almost as simple as listing on eBay
    Integrated with stripe pp and mailchimp for newsletters

    Weebly, Wix, Squarespace can give you drag/drop builds and store support and tons of free templates. You can bring a domain with you. That said, the template you linked to looks slick and customer friendly.

    The templates are often tweaked to fit the hosting company. Regardless, I would suggest you look at sites, find one that appeals to you and then use the same or similar template. Additionally, if your site is hosted on one domain and you want to change hosts then you can do that relatively easily, as well.

    Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I bought a template yesterday for $140 and find out I don't know how to use it. The support asked me to pay $50 for the installation but I told them I don't like it. They finally install it for me and it is up but I really need to learn how to modify it to fit my need. This is not what I expected. they don't even has any documentations telling how to use it (modify). I guess I did not have the right idea about what this supposed to work. I thought a template comes with the tools that allow me to modify it and get item to it easy. I guess I was wrong. Now I stuck with it.

    Your experience is not one that I am familiar with. I use Weebly and had used Network Solutions for nearly two decades prior to my switch. In both cases, purchase of my hosting came with a package of templates from which to choose from at no additional cost. I can (and could) always change from one template to another at any time and without cost or the help of the network administrator. Also, each template worked more or less the same way, with only the shell being different. Is it possible to go with something like I have described or is that too late?

    It is too late now. I was able to modified most of the thing but it took lots of time and I don't think it is easy if you don't have computer knowledge to do. I have to check out the log for trouble shooting. I also have to modified many PHP files. The most difficult part is to find out which file to modify. I am still working on modification on site. It might take a while before it really fully operational.

    This sounds far more complex on your part than what many (most?) websites require today. I would expect you could simply drop and drag components, images and text wherever you like.

    Truly not being a 'wise guy' here, just sharing my own experience :smile:
    About 5 years ago I coded a site for my work,
    although it is far from my area of expertise,
    fast forward to today,
    my 12 year old is actually using HTML code to design his own site,
    he asked to see mine and I showed it to him,
    he said 'THAT'S PRETTY BASIC",
    lesson learned....welcome to the future. :smile:
