starting your own website on a budget.
-
Hi I’m trying to start my own online store, but my IT experience is limited and I suffer from Dyslexia. I want to sell items and create a website where I can do this. I have limited funds, but I already have made a start. I have registered 2 domains a .com and a .co.uk also I have paid and purchased my own company Logo. Which I wish to incorparate in all my company advertising and promotional items, and all my postal and packaging items. But I am wanting help in starting my on line store, I want help in setting it up and help with everything from how best to list my items for sale to my customers to terms and conditions, privacy policies, building a custom base, and e commerce, using paypal and credit card set up. And any other help and information for the beginner with out getting ripped off or wasting time and money, I want everything that I set up in creating my web store to be mine outright. So if you can help, advise, and point me in the right direction then I would be thankfull for any assistance.

Business Plan http://wordpress.com/pricing
The Business upgrade includes:
• Google analytics
• Footer Credit Options https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/
• SEO Tools https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/
• The ability to install most plugins https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ including woocommerce and the ability to install third party themes. https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#uploading-custom-themesHow domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their sub domains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs
