Re:Ask HN: best eCommerce Platform on Wednesday January 11, 2012 @11:33AM (#3452402)
Magento - Ease of use, template system with large selection of free and paid templates and the ability to get started with a few simple clicks.

As a novice to ecommerce and hacking, a girl friend sucessfully configured and sold an ecommerce solution withing 2 weeks. As a graphic designer non-techie, she (Hey Asiyah) used hostgator's auto-configuration via cpanel to install Magento, add a blog and create a customised cart. Additionally, she configured the template, added PayPal and Google checkout, customised layouts and added basic graphics using HTML.

For a complete novice, she managed to sell the setup, configure and sell the site withing 1 month. Now thats impressive for a designer with no experiance and no technical skills.

Tell Us What You're Doing For Micro Enterprises Not For 'SMEs' is an e-petition started by no other than Tony Robinson OBE (http://www.tonyrobinsonobe.co.uk/). I have no affiliation with Tony or his companies, but I admire his work to help get the door of discussion open in helping micro enterprises find a voice in parliament.Please Note: I only came across this whilst looking for epetitions...

Really could do with peeps from here. Bootstrapped Non-programmer sysadmin founder, outsourcing webdev team. Time is very scarce, up late nights and most weekend, but persistence it key.

Thanks to all here for the great articles. They provide great support and motivation for someone in my shoes. Shout-out to http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/. HND saves me an hour each day!

It's definitely a startup and I promise not to use any emails submitted other than for a single request when the beta pages are up.

I wish to tell you more about this but all I can say at this moment is that the new iPhone 4G/HD and an Android App is also on its way!
