Taking your business from in-store to online can be a very daunting experience. Not only is there a whole new system to learn – HTML, design, coding, etc., but it takes forever and a day to set up yourself … or a ton of money to pay an expert to do it for you. Would it be great if there was already a system that is made, and all you got to do is fill in the blanks and BAM, it will all be done?
