And off we go!!! I started an account on Prostores.com then "purchased" my first month free of the basic business e-commerce package (up to 5,000 products). I started by picking my template... Not a huge variety or very fancy templates, but they get the job done. Then I struggled for quite a while to find where to EDIT that template! I wanted to add my own logo and such! THEN I discovered that it's really easy: Page Template Manager located in the "short list" of links! haha. This tool was very useful, however, quirky. Most things I asked it to do were fine, but a few actions made the screen go haywire. Here's what the tool looks like:
Just double click in each region to edit the text, links or pictures. I discovered, then, the backup or "baseline" feature. It asks you, "do you want to create a baseline" before you start editing, and the answer is YES!
Now I am setting up the shipping options. For some reason, no matter what I change the shipping options to on the setup page, it's always $5 on the "real" website!? Oh technology. Maybe it just takes time? And yes, only time will tell.
So far... scale of 1-10, where 10 is me thrilled with Prostores' performance, I'm at about a... 6? This may change after I distance myself from this shipping issue! Ta-ta for now!
