If this is not the proper place for this question, please move it. I was using Website Builder by Godaddy to make a web page to post and hopefully sell some of the jewelry that my wife makes as well as some of my knives. To make a long story short, Website Builder is, whaddya call, not so good. After spending way too much time on the phone with some very easy to understand and nice people, to their credit they issued me a prorated credit for the $$ that I had given them toward 3 years of their service. I'll give it to them, they tried. Anyway, I am looking for an easy to use web page builder that I can accept paypal through. My question is, what does anyone else use and how do you like it? Thanks, Steve B
 
Try Komposer. A graphically interfaced webpage builder. Its also free.

You can set-up and use the built in FTP to load the pages to Go-Daddy directly from the software.
 
I just built my website on Weebly. I looked at several different webstore options, and Weebly had all the features I wanted and was easy to use. It has several templates you can use for free. I've been impressed with them so far.

We've been with several different outfits and are currently with 3Dcart. Could not recommend them highly enough. Website is in my sig line if ya wanna check.
 
Horsewright, nice web site. Do you maintain it yourself. Really nice layout and products. J. Hoffman, yours looks good too. I had tried a free Weebly site and found it to be not too difficult. One thing I missed on Weebly was undo to correct mistakes. From both of you, what type of plan are you using from your respective vendors. Thanks, Steve b

I have the top package I believe. It has unlimited number of items, and most of the features I wanted. I wish it had an ability for my customers to login in so they could see order history and such. I think it was $300 for the year. It was very easy to build, and I'm updating it and adding product as I'm typing this. One program I really liked was Presta Shop, but it was simply an online store program that you had to pay for monthly, and then you also need a separate website.

Avoid Host Gator, I had major issues with their customer service. I paid ahead for 3 years, but ditched them after the first year. I lost out on the rest of my money, but it was worth it to get away from them.

I found this site to be very helpful.

Thanks. My wife and step son built the site and maintain it. It is all based on templates and they did modify some of them for specific use. Just wringing the kinks out of a major overhaul right now. Google wanted all sites to be more mobile friendly. You didn't have to comply with Big Brother Google's wishes but they did mention you might show up on page 37 of a Google search instead of near the top. All Hail Google. Anyhoo. Our plan is based on bandwidth use. Very reasonable and the service they provide when you have a question or a problem puts them into the top tier, of any company we've ever dealt with, of any type, period.
 
Dave made a comment about being mobile friendly.
That is more important than you would think.
My website determines if the visitor is using a PC, tablet or smartphone and displays the pages optimized for the device.
I was very surprised when I saw that about 40% of the purchases from the store were made using a smart phone.
