Hello,

Well there are various things you could do.

You could pay a website designer (there are several of us on here) to design your site and some will also provide hosting, you could source just hosting and then use a free shop program to create your shop, or you could use something like ekmpowershop which you pay a monthly fee for hosting as well as email and the shop is all there - you design it and maintain it.

HTH!

It depends what you will need for hosting. Prices can vary depending on the package you get, the service you need etc. For free shops, there's oscommerce, oscmax, zencart - there are a few others but I've used those ones for client's. All of the shops I've mentioned will need mysql and php.

I use www.ekmpowershop.com which is £20 a month plus VAT. However, before you go to the expense of a website, I'd seriously make sure that you aren't contravening the Taggies design and trade marks as I know the Directors personally and know they are very hot on protecting their brand.

Also, are your products tested for safety? Do you have insurance?
