Thanks for the suggestion tobyink - I'm aware of Shopify as a business that I mentor uses it extensively for the eCommerce side of their operations. The main reason for not going down this route is this website will be more of a portfolio with sales forming just a small part.

We did think of using WordPress as Joolz has some knowledge of this but she is not confident enough with it and doesn't really have the time and inclination. I was planning to get a basic site up and running in the next 4 days or so and improve from there.
