Bringing Kosher Food Delivery To Seattle – AffordableKosher.com Goes Live!
LIVE! as of June 8th, 2010: Affordable Kosher - Delivery Savings, Quality & Convenience
One of my recent launches, and most unique project to date! AffordableKosher.com served as a formidable challenge and First Time Online delivered!
First Time Online Does eCommerce
Up until now, First Time Online worked primarily with websites and blogs. This client wanted eCommerce and literally forced us to do it. No seriously…not like we’d turn down a client, but considering we’ve never done eCommerce websites before, this was a tough call. The client has had bad experiences in the past with eCommerce and wanted First Time Online to help project manage this from start to finish.
Choosing The Right Online Store Technology
Our first task was to find an eCommerce solution, and believe me, there’s a lot of competition out there. I just so happened to be purchasing Scotch for a monthly tasting and noticed in the footer, “Powered by Volusion“. I decided to look into it and after an hour on their site, I knew this was the right provider. Affordable, Easy to Use and a strong portfolio of other clients, Volusion couldn’t have been more perfect for my 1st experience doing eCommerece.
Unique Opportunity Proves To Be A Success
This is one of the first websites of its kind, not only in the Seattle area, but in the world. There are competitors that provide Kosher food, but this service is 100% online. We went live maybe 5 hours ago and the feedback is amazing. Check it out for yourself.
…oh, and I forgot to mention another unique factor of this project: This is the first time I’ve ever been paid in Kosher Beef! May prove to be a successful business model. Enjoy!

What Is WordPress?
This is good, but its not the first website of its kind!
Please visit http://www.Kosher.com {world’s largest online kosher supermarket}
Kosher.com is an online Kosher supermarket solely online. They have been in business for MANY years and ship all over the U.S. Sorry you are not the first one to think of this idea.
We may not be the first…but unfortunately, Kosher.com doesn’t deliver to Seattle. So, they’re the first in the NorthWest
Joshua,
I of course wish Affordable Kosher all success.
But let’s try to be sure we have the information right. Kosher.com ships nationwide. We have free delivery by truck only in the Tri-State are on the East Coast, but we ship FedEx almost all our products (other than produce, for example) all over the USA (take a look at http://usa.Kosher.com). And our shipping charge is only 10% of the order.
Shabbat Shalom,
Brian Cooper

visit my blog seattlekosherfood.blogpsot.com and let me know how I can help you.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re “one of the first”
I have to add, it’s inspiring to see this market help consumers with limited access to Kosher Food.
Good job, site looks really nice. I would just suggest you add pictures to the subcategory links. it looks kinda plain and ugly to just have text.
congrats on your first e-commerce site, let me know if they start shipping to Connecticut =)
Thanks Ariel. I’ll continue to make suggestions, but it was at the client request. As AffKosher makes it big, CT will be their 1st stop
