Artist struggles to find an affordable, user-friendly e-commerce website builder for selling novels and artwork, feeling overwhelmed by technical complexity and high costs.

Existing solutions are either too expensive (Squarespace) or too technically complex/infuriating (Wix's AI-driven interface, Shopify's technical side). Webador is affordable and easy but has bad cancellation experience.
