I am unsure if printplanet.com is the right place for the questions I have, if so I apologize and if you could direct me to someplace that may be able to help me I would be forever thankful.
I Co-own my family business that has been around since 1999. We are a one stop shop for picture framing, art gallery and printing needs from photo restoration, art reproductions, proofing to digital enhancements. We have a templated site through strongretailer.com which is limited and we will be reworking soon. But it drives traffic to us every day!
While our printing/photo restoration/photo enhancements/ art reproduction side of the business has grown tremendously since we began 5 years ago we wanted to branch this off into its own website to expand more. I have self taught myself slowly over the last 6 months building a wordpress site and it is coming together beautiful.. but the technical side, not so much.
Question #1 I have been searching for MIS technology that could incorporate into my wordpress site. Do you have any reccomendations?
Question #2 I do not have the knowledge to build a specialized shopping cart for printing. Do you have any reccomendations?
Question #3 What is the best for FTP? I was looking into Amazons services.
Question #4 I have come very far with the website and graphics and am determined. Do you think going through a printing host lets say like keenprint.com or something like that would just be easier and safer? Do you have any specialized website hosts for printing you could reccomend?
I would hate to throw away what I've already started months ago.. but I have not found anything reliable when it comes to a specialized shopping cart, ftp, and MIS that would all incorporate together to easily understand and easy to use for customers... Frankly, I've hardly had good leads on any of these.
Any answers, resources, guidance, replies or questions for me are much appreciated. Thanks so much,
Tara
