WHAT’S SHOPDESK?
ShopDesk is a modern e-commerce platform designed for small business from the ground up. Using ShopDesk, you can reach the largest customer base in the world…anyone with an internet connection. ShopDesk lets you sell your products, manage your inventory, and more importantly, get back to running your business.
If you visit the deployed application, you won’t see ShopDesk’s logo anywhere. The site is an example of what anyone can build in minutes using ShopDesk’s intuitive platform.
WHY I BUILT IT
Retail is changing, and small business can’t keep up. With giants like Amazon and Walmart in the arena, you’re forced to either dilute your brand and eat commissions, or lose out on a huge customer base.
I’m a web developer, but you shouldn’t have to be one just to sell your products on the internet.
