Setting up an online shop doesn’t have to be as scary as it sounds. Whilst it is ideal to have a shop integrated with your main website, this is time-consuming and complex, and therefore often outside of a lot of marketing budgets. The good news is there are simple “out of the box” options out there which are still affordable and (so long as you aren’t planning to launch the next Amazon) should fulfill your needs.
We highly recommend Shopify which works equally well as it is, or can be customised into a bespoke template, as we did for for Iniva Creative Learning and Comins Tea. Talk to us about setting up a customised Shopify store. There are more complex platforms such as Magento, but that is probably way above and beyond what 99% of artists or arts organisations would require from an online store.
If you need a hand delivering this, we build bespoke online ecommerce stores for our clients. Have a look at our portfolio to see how we've helped others in the past and get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!
