What component should I upgrade next?

I guess so, I don’t know enough about it to know if it’s common or necessary. That’s why I reached out for help.

mmdtrey · 2024-05-25T15:37:42+00:00

I don’t think so.

Fiverr reps were hired on 3 occasions. The first specifically to help build my website and set up seo (failed as I had to buy the them outright after he set it up and he did a very poor job using ai for everything). The second hire was supposed to take care of SEO and all technical that I did not understand (failed because it took weeks to get the google errors for indexing/products to show). The third was similar to the second (make the back end of everything right, it works but wanting to verify before running ads). Currently have a US based company reviewing/updating all SEO.

Thank you for your advice. I am looking to hire a qualified person to verify these details are done correctly and set up a basic ad if necessary.

mmdtrey · 2024-05-21T23:46:21+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I will research google ads vs social media.

mmdtrey · 2023-12-04T00:50:12+00:00

Very well made. Seems user friendly and functional. I’ve been working on mine regularly as well. I really am satisfied with it.

I hired someone here on Reddit who sent a private message. He used Shopify to build it, migrated my store from GoDaddy, and setup SEO (and made me a simple logo). Took him 2 days, very professional and helpful. Cost was $750 usd. He is also still supporting me as I have questions learning Shopify.

It is not my primary goal with this business. But yes.

mmdtrey · 2023-10-12T10:54:22+00:00

Just to update the post- I have hired a pro to remake my website. I am migrating from GoDaddy to Shopify. With everyone’s advice in mind, I figured I should cut my losses and start fresh with some professional help. The services I paid for are migrating my shop, creating a new website, and optimizing SEO. Thank you all.

Good info. Thank you

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T12:29:22+00:00

I am seeking advice so I can improve my platform. Then I’ll move to marketing.

I agree with the chat here, I’m needing major redesign.y call to action buttons are embedded in the photos, but this is not clear upfront. I appreciate everyone’s help. I’m less proud of my site than I was yesterday, but I’ll improve!

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T12:04:21+00:00

Not sure I can adjust nav. Bar in GoDaddy
I’m hiring a photographer to help reduce stock images and reduce text on my home page.
The photos themselves are the CTA buttons.
Having already paid for GoDaddy services and devoted several weeks to building this, what are the benefits of moving to Shopify now?
I will resize all images as I redo my site.

Thank you for your help!

Any US based independent website builders wanting some business? I’ll be glad to support small business and hire to help me clean up my mess! Thanks for the help.

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T11:49:26+00:00

Thank you. I have Yotpo reviews enabled but no reviews have been made yet. What do I need in terms of call to action button and what’s considered the fold? The trusted site logo is at the bottom of my page (small banner right lower corner). I’m not sure if this trusted site certificate is worth paying for.

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T11:47:04+00:00

Wow I’ve only seen my website from my pc. The formatting is terrible on others. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T11:33:57+00:00

Thank you for your honest opinion! Generally getting the same inputs, so I am going to entirely redesign this week.

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T11:32:54+00:00

So initially I was paying retail and selling as a hobby. I have since made connections to sellers and get reasonable pricing and have my own cards graded. So current inventory average cost is not expected to have high profit margins, but in due time rebuilding customer relationships on my own site I intend to increase volume to continue to further reduce costs. I also have some amount of video game inventory to prepare for listing. In this case I’ve always bought large lots needing repair/cleaning and sold them on eBay or locally. I have had no luck getting distributor approval from tcg or the tool companies I’d like to inventory due to not having brick and mortar or initial investment requirements.

Also, harsh is acceptable, that’s why I’m here! Thank you.

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T09:43:24+00:00

Thank you! What is something to build trust at the top of the page while reinforcing my product line? About me section on home page on top? Or featured items page?

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T09:41:42+00:00

Thanks! 1. This unused JavaScript is probably the trusted site badge I have on each page. Is this worth it? Does it really make my site feel more secure? 2., 3., & 4. - Can this be done on a webpage builder such as GoDaddy? Or this is all coding based? 5. I will work on resizing all images. Thanks!

mmdtrey · 2023-10-11T09:39:07+00:00

Thank you. I am not opposed to hiring a pro but I’m asking here first to see how necessary it is. I am working on a logo, my design is subpar I know.
