I want to build a site for selling domains. All these fancy themes won't fit here, I don't need greeds or galleries. How I see it - a plain table, with domains in rows and different parameters in columns - PR, DA, age, ... , price, Add to cart. That's all.

I never seen anything similar. I know some sites but they use homemade engines. Searched for hours but didn't find anything ready. Although I suspect it's really simple to make.

I don't care too much which platform it be - Woocommerce, Opencart, Prestashop - but would prefer Woocommerce of course.

So, anybody have an idea, or know some smart guy who can modify some theme for me? Don't have big budget tho.
 


Frack, posted in a wrong section... Intended for Development. Some good Mod can move it there? Many thanks.

Unless you plan on becoming a registrar (or perhaps I misunderstand), you might just want to delegate the work to an actual registrar and instead aim for commission.

Here's an example of a site that nailed it: Domains containing "coffee" | Lean Domain Search

Thank you for your input. But yes, you got it wrong. I want to sell my own domains. Rather than dealing with endless listings in different forums, to build my own selling platform.

both threads have some really solid recommendations in there, i ususally reference both threads any time I am looking for an ecommerce solution and need inspiration.

Thank bro. The first thread you've mentioned i know well, the second one i didn't see... But none of them answers my question which was actually about a custom home page.
 
You can achieve this using a combination of WooCommerce - (List Domains as products etc.)

And something like tablepress to display your domains in tabular forms on the homepage.

Display feeds on the homepage via tablepress using an XML output from WooCommerce or get your VA to update those manually.

You can also have the core "Shop" page of WooCommerce modified to show data in tables instead of the current Thumbnail + Data format. This should be pretty easy to achieve for a good WP developer.

Tnx for the tip with tablepres. +rep.

However modifying the shop page for the table seems right to me. Just wondered if there is some ready solution out there...

I doubt there is a ready solution.... But there are some themes that will help you take the list view instead of the grid view which is the default look of Woocommerce.

For instance this - Producto Theme

You can also use this plugin -
WordPress › WooCommerce Grid / List toggle « WordPress Plugins

And to have the list view as default, simply open grid-list-toggle.php

And find

PHP: 
// Default options
add_option( 'wc_glt_default', 'grid' );

Change 'grid' to 'list'

Also, to get rid of that toggle switch that the plugin brings along.

Open buttons.css & add -

Code: 
#gridlist-toggle {
	 display: none; }

And you will have a list view of all products in your WooCommerce Shop page. You can then further get someone to modify this to suit your needs and set the shop page as your homepage to list all domains with an add-to-cart button on your site.

Cheers
