I'm gonna link you some good resources.

Firstly, use Wordpress. It's very easy to learn and update as time goes on.

Wordpress has a plugin system called "Woocommerce" that has all of the payment system stuff you're looking for.

Furthermore, you can always come back here and post in the web design section with questions. Here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/web-design.126/


So, here is a beginner's guide on Wordpress:

This guide shows you how to set up Wordpress from A-Z. From buying the domain, connecting it to hosting account, and then installing & configuring Wordpress.

Here is a guide on Woocommerce:

Once you've reached this point, you'll be looking for a Woocommerce compatible Wordpress theme. I recommend going through Deleted member 752298 as their support & theme selection are unmatched https://festingervault.com/

Let me know if you have questions or even respond back here and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction.

I totally get where you're coming from—scaling up a small business can be a real adventure! I’ve been in a similar boat myself.

A few years back, I was running a small business. I was torn between hiring a freelancer, diving in myself, or finding another way.

So, I started by exploring hiring a freelancer. I reached out to a few professionals to get quotes and ideas. It was tempting because they had the expertise and could handle things like website design and SEO, which I knew little about at the time. However, the costs added up quickly, and I was worried about finding someone reliable.

I began working on my own, using various online tools and guides to piece everything together. It was a bit of a learning curve, but I enjoyed the process and saved some money. Plus, it gave me a deeper understanding of how everything works, which was a huge win in the long run.

Eventually, I realised a hybrid approach worked best. I used some freelance help for the more technical aspects while I handled content and design. It struck a balance between cost and quality, and it ended up being a great move.

For your situation, you might want to start by sketching out your goals and budget. If you’re up for learning and have the time, trying things yourself could be rewarding. But if you’re short on time or prefer professional polish, bringing in a freelancer might be the way to go.
