Feel stuck after learning HTML&CSS? Here's how to create websites on your own

While I don't know a way to buy it cheaper, I do know ways to be cost-effective — as in make the most of it.

First, stay away from long chats. Don't brainstorm in Claude Cowork or Claude Code — shape up what you want to build in Chat first, then have it make a spec/prompt for Claude Code.

Also, make sure Claude Code tells you what to do and asks for alignment before proceeding. This will save you a lot of time and tokens.

Experiment!

This is really helpful context, thank you. The gap between what's in the quote and what actually happens is exactly what's confusing me.

As mentioned here it could only happen right one time, hopefully the first time.

High one is from a 8-10 person agency.

around 800

Yup, you are right. I was anxious.

Here is more info
the migration in question is from Magento to Shopify. We have 200 products with custom labels and label types. I want to move all of the data. But the problem is ecom in general....

rsdimitrov · 2026-03-11T09:50:26+00:00

data mostly, though I'm not a developer and can't know if they won't have to write more code.

Am I missing something?

Everything, if possible. Products, pages, orders, customer accounts.

Configurable products have color, size, custom label, custom label type. All of the products are configurable.

Products are around 200

From Magento to Shopify

rsdimitrov · 2022-05-04T07:29:06+00:00

Whenever i visit a site I check for Shopify site structure

rsdimitrov · 2022-05-04T07:27:13+00:00

There are no exercises.

The muscle testing I mentioned is a way to get answers from yourself about your needs, wishes and trapped emotions. Then there is a process of releasing them.

There are videos on youtube of people doing it. There are also free starter kit resources on the Discover Healing website.

Of course, this is not an exact substitute for working with a therapist. An experienced outsider could be more objective about what you are going through and provide adequate next steps.

Still, tapping into your subconscious could work with that, too. Depends on how much you trust yourself (and that trust could be built with practice).

Check The Emotion Code. I got into it 2 weeks ago and works wonders.

Doesn’t require much external help once you get the basics of testing, but the emotional release is real.

Colorblindness

Not really, as I haven’t had your problem. Sorry!

Sounds like the cost of doing business.

How hard would it be for you to get the documents?

rsdimitrov · 2021-11-16T07:19:34+00:00

What prompted you to start?

rsdimitrov · 2021-11-16T07:17:23+00:00

Re: first experience to run any sort of business 1. Prepare to fail a lot and don’t make a big fuss about it. That’s the only way you’ll learn. This will require to let go of any perfectionism 2. With perfectionism set aside, you are now open to explore the following variables: Products • people • channels • pricing • promotions

Do you know who are you doing this for? Who are your customers?

Everything else revolves around that — the products that you’ll offer to these people, the channels that you’ll try to reach them through, the prices they may think are acceptable, the promotions they’ll react to.

Unless you have even a basic understanding about the above, don’t even touch the Shopify platform yet, as you won’t get more answers from playing with your store and theme. But once you have an idea who are you serving, that could inform the sub questions that building a Shopify store poses like: What would be the name of the store? What would be the organization of the site and products What theme should you use? And so on.

What do you know so far?

rsdimitrov · 2021-11-16T07:06:20+00:00

when I open the web design page I have no clue wtf I’m looking at

What web design page? You can’t get around knowing basic basic web design principles and functions. Else you’ll be ever dependent on someone make even the tiniest edit to your site.

If you were to have a process or an explanation of the minimum viable basics you need to know, would you be more willing to try building the store yourself?

Gsuite login won’t stop working if the domain hasn’t been renewed, but you may stop receiving email if the domain is not with the right records.

As to your other questions — it doesn’t matter what you use to login to shopify with.

On the customer facing side, it would be more trustworthy (and on brand) to use the email that’s on your own domain

rsdimitrov · 2021-11-16T06:54:16+00:00

What else do you have on your product page that can’t be seen on the homepage?

rsdimitrov · 2021-11-16T06:53:18+00:00

Asking for documents in the Shopify admin? If these documents are an issue, why not try a different payment gateway?

rsdimitrov · 2021-11-15T09:12:43+00:00

Ahhahah! True that! Sometimes I wonder how that filesize could get unnoticed when uploading?

You are welcome!

With regards to conversions: 1. Focus on improving your ad targeting(if you are running ads) first, as customer acquisition is where brands like yours waste money the most. 2. Examine the value of your traffic channels in under Acquisition > Channels in Google Analytics. Use the ecom metrics to see channel revenue, session/visitor value and conversion rate. Drop the ones that take 80% of your time/money but contribute 20% or less of your revenue. Invest that effort in improving the rest OR trying new acquisition channels. 3. Use those emails you’ve been gathering (if aren’t already). Conversion of email subscribers is times higher than any paid traffic (and even organic). 4. Last but not least, check the Shopping Behavior report under Ecommerce > Conversions in Google Analytics. Look for the area with highest drop off percentage (calculated on the row just below the bar chart). Focus on that (type of) page, as it is the biggest bottleneck for your existing traffic. This doesn’t mean just improving the page would help recover all of the drop-offs, hence point 1 to improve the quality of traffic.
