Low cost shouldn't mean low quality. I am the owner of a home-based catalog business who is trying to establish a presence on the Internet. Since I haven't sold ANYTHING since November (I haven't gone anywhere due to cold weather), I'm pretty low on funds. I kinda feel like the different companies are playing games or price-wars with each other. I have complicated needs but have less than $50 to fund my semi-debut. I also think it is pretty rotten when reputable companies do not tell you everything you need to know. I am currently hosted with Yahoo, because I wanted to maintain an Internet presence, but you can't really buy anything off my site. I started out on one of the Merchant accounts, and worked hard at building my site. When I called customer service and asked why it wasn't working like it should, I was informed I needed to fork over $200-400 as a set-up fee to a merchant account provider of THEIR choice. Needless to say, they were all out of my price range. When I did find someone in my price range, I was elated, but cannot find anyone who matches my hosting critera and my mac price range.
Does anyone happen to know of a good provider with wysiwyg software/templates, support and acceptance of MS Access databases, that also does ecommerce so I can build a new store and offers all this (and more, hopefully) for less than $50? I'm complicated, I know, but surely there must be a GOOD match out there for me.
