This is a normal occurrence. Many internet vendors spend several months fine-tuning their offerings to make them more appealing to customers. The problem is that, when you are paying out a lot each month in fees, this time period can become a financial burden on both your company and your family. At i-fete, we understand the struggles of starting a small business and have intentionally designed our pricing structure, so that you don't pay anything if you don't sell anything. As you can see, you have nothing to lose by signing up to become an i-fete vendor.

Creating your own website is certainly an option. In fact, many i-fete vendors also have their own websites. However, there are many headaches and costs associated with creating a website, attracting customers, and managing the systems. To start with there are domain registration and hosting fees, which are typically around $100 per year. Then, you have to design the site. Unless you are knowledgable in HTML and other programming languages, you can expect to pay anywhere from $350 to over $1,000 to have someone set your site up. You may decide to purchase a cart program that uses templates and minimizes design fees. These typically range from $40 to $60 per month. Once your site is built and functional, you still need to find a credit card processor and decide how you will handle frequent updates. Aside from all these costs, the most steep cost will typically be advertising. You can easily spend over $100 per day on a thorough advertising program. Basically, your own site can be a great way to maintain control, but the cost and time involved is prohibitive for many small business owners.
