what do i need and how much?

[Rahj]

I am planning a web site as a record label to sell my CDs.
I know I need a label homepage and pages for my artist(myself) such as Bio, discography, contact info., ect. I have about 3 to 5 items to sell and need all the things to make sales. online, easy. I have a domain name already and plan to design the site myself or use one you've designed. I probanly
I just not sure if I should use Bluevoda or soholaunch; If I should use oscommerce or paypal and shopping carts, gateways or whatever. To begin with I need something simple yet adequate to handle increased sales this first year. A site with flexiblity and low cost is what i need. Can you tell me what I ned all toll? Do you have all I need and how much should it all cost? I would like you to host it but I'm not sure what you guys have.
Advise me please? Rahj.

Re: what do i need and how much?

Yes, you have everything you need.
Since your site needs an artistic touch, i suggest that you use BV and not Soho. BV is very flexible regarding page layout and templates. Making your pages with BV will be amazingly easy.
Then you should add a shopping cart to be able to sell your CDs. There are some free that come with your account, but i suggest that you use some other, simpler. Even Paypal has a shopping cart, but we do have some members here that will advise you better when the moment comes. It' quite easy if you only have 5 products: make a presentation page for each one, maybe with a sample music in the background, then simply add a "Add to cart" button in the page. The visitors will be redirected to payment, and then return to your site to complete the order.

Your cost is $96 per year, with a free (for the first year) domain name registration.
So go for it! You will have all the help you might need!
