This is the first blog post for what will be https://www.twitawoo.co.uk, a new eCommerce web site for TWiTaWOO..
https://www.twitawoo.com is currently being used as my main business website, for scanning photos into digital images and also for photo restoration work for a variety of customers.
However, 1 year in and I now see a huge increase in web site hosting costs and everything that comes with it.
I have lots of experience building websites, such as https://www.HushabyeHands.co.uk which was built in Wix for my amazing daughter and her growing business, and also in coding from scratch using traditional html or going back 20 years; in flash.
I’ve found Amazon Web Services (AWS) and their “Lightsail” service.
It doesn’t increase in cost in later years, is very secure and is also scalable (you pay for the performance and storage that you need) and can adjust as you want. It starts at around £6 per month plus a domain name of something.co.uk at £9 per year.
The website will be built in WordPress with plugins such as WOO ecommerce added as required during the build. In it’s base format WordPress is unhelpful at best in building an initial site, so you will need plugins to help.
My aim is to try blog regularly as I build the site, so if you are wondering about building a website (and how to do it) you will be able to follow my path and know the upfront and continuing costs, and also the methods to build the site.
Currently the background is black with white text…yuk! I also have no theme and haven’t finished configuring Lightsail. more in the next blog…
