What’s the best software to build an online store for ecommerce ?

My mum has had to leave her job due to health problems and doesn’t know what else to do as she has only ever worked for the same industry (retail) and feels she hasn’t the confidence to go into another job and learn new qualifications.

She does however have a couple of hobbies 1) making handbags 2) making wedding invitations

She has been doing this for some time for her own pleasure and has sold lots to friends and family alike, however she thinks that this hobby might be good enough to start up her own small business.

She’s not thinking it will make her millions but wants to start to earn a little extra cash, can anyone direct me to the best solution

Stores like Etsy should be a good option for your mom, specially in the industry of handmade crafts. It’s a reputable marketplace that lets you have your own online store for free.

    I agree with the other poster – Etsy is a good option.

    If your mum wants to run her own website with her own shopping cart, there are many options. I blogged about them not long ago:
