Goodsie
This easy-to-use site allows anyone to customize his or her own online storefront in a straight forward and affordable manner. The site was launched this past May by a talented and experienced team of designers whom are part of HiiDef. They’re also the creators of Flavors.me,  a web site that let’s anyone create a virtual profile (like an online business card) that include all of the person’s social media links in one place. Remember when we told you about them last month?  The dashboard created for Goodsie is the same as Flavors.me, which doesn’t involve codes but simply click options for customization of background, layout, font, and color.
