Not necessarily. Nowadays there are lots of tools out there that help you integrate the e-commerce tools that are necessary to conduct transactions. A few years ago, most designers had to build everything themselves including all of the graphics and text on the website as well as all of the programming in order to make all of the sophisticated electronic transactions occur safely and securely. Now the only thing involved is a certain amount of research to find the tools that will help you easily integrate buying and selling. One really good website for that would be Paypal.com. They have tools there that you can build directly into your website relatively easily to allow you to sell items. Any sophisticated website that involves buying and selling and a decent amount of content is something that takes some time and effort, but it's definitely not impossible and there are lots of tools out there to help you to get started for free.
