 Beginning e-commerce on existing site.

Hello,

I manage a small site for two friends. They sell wine and have asked me to do whatever needs to be done to sell the wine directly off the site - e-commerce in other words.

I need some help as to what is the best way to do this i.e. what software etc is best to implement this, and whatever else. I don't have any experience building an e-commerce site.

They literally only have 6 to 8 wines that they sell and they are a very small new business so the lower the cost the better.

Anyone who has experience on integrating e-commerce on a (very) small business site and can help, I'll be grateful. I don't know if this is relevant but they are based in Perth, Scotland but will deliver anywhere in the UK.

Thanks,
Joe
