Important Note: It is possible that your current budget will not allow for all of the bells and whistles. However, if I know what the final outcome of the website is it can be planned for and when you have the additional funds those items can be easily incorporated. Your website can be developed in phases based on your budget.
My Thoughts on E-commerce:
To me it is always less costly in the long term to have your own website selling your products versus affiliating with a website that sells products from a wide variety of merchants. By having your own website it builds your business identity and help you build a close customer relationship.
Search Engine Optimization: SEO is a separate quote due to the research and preparation required, and if you want an ongoing monthly reports and SEO maintenance (1 hour minimum per month).
