This section of the forum is for discussing the business and finance issues of the t-shirt industry. Which business structure to use (sole proprietor, LLC, S Corp, etc), how to handle billing, where to register your business and get the proper licensing, etc.
$20,000.00 in captial and you want to create a new website from scratch what angle would you take(t-shirt hell, threadless,design by humans,etc) and what kind of team would you assemble to help make this dream site come to life and everything in between. Feel free to add anything you want go crazy.
Sorry - not enough money. A good server costs $100K But then again, it really depends on what you plan on doing with the website.
$100k for a good server?! They weren't even that much in 1994! 20k is plenty to make tshirthell with their affiliate system as well. Since I was young, I had an interest in screen printing, but instead I grew up teaching myself graphic design and web development. I've worked for the last 7 years developing affiliate programs and ecommerce websites. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be able to help ya out. My email is barry AT barrympeterson.com
Like I said - it really depends on what you're doing. If you're just selling t-shirts and have an average amount to traffic, then you should be fine with a server made from your desktop.
If you're running enterprise software and doing something like eBay which has a lot of traffic and a lot of activity and a lot of transactions, then no $20K for a server is not going to be enough. I'm sure they spend more than that just replacing dead harddrives.
your dream website and team
