With Alex going to Australia, I am wondering if she will end up starting up any of her old hobbies. One of these was making jewellery, and sometimes selling it. If she does, then she may want to look at the shopping cart software available from AShop, especially as they also have an Australian offshoot of their main business.
They specialise in shopping cart software that can be easily integrated into your website, making it a cinch for both you (to run an online business), and your potential customers (who can easily order your items, with a well recognised reliable system).
As Alex may not want to commit to an expense without first trying out what is on offer, she will be relieved to know that not only does the site give a comprehensive listing of the available features (such as full HTTPS (secure) support, 99.8% server uptime, free upgrades for life and integration with a host of related applications, such as accounting software (the connections with Alex just keep growing and growing )), but that the software also comes with a ten day money back guarantee.
