Do I need a bespoke solution, or can I use something off the self?

Packaged or boxed ecommerce solutions are nowadays hugely powerful and flexible, and offer significant advantages over bespoke: lower cost, quicker site development, more features and greater longterm security. If you use a web designer, it is worth finding one that can develop a professional design based around a standard solution that other web designers could support. A completely custom-built site is only a good investment if you have special requirements that an out-of-the-box solution cannot fulfill. It will not only be more expensive initially, it is likely to be hugely expensive to make further changes in the future.
