Product listings/pages

I'm trying to create product listing pages for various types of musical string instruments where you click on the photo and go to a detail product description and photos. After looking at Shopify and others, I don't think I want to pay for that now and instead just have people contact the business with questions or orders (it's a small scale nonprofit business). I may want to add a cart later....PayPal looks OK. What would be the easiest technique to develop pages with multiple products listed?
This is my website so far all created with wysiwyg. The only custom HTML is for a Zoho contact form:

Thank you for any help or suggestions you can offer.

PHPJabbers Stiva Cart is an ecommerce script that can be used in catalog mode. In catalog mode you get products (pictures, description, catagories) but no check out, which i think is what you are describing. the cost of the script is $89 (less 30% discount). well worth it compared to time saved. PHPJabbers scripts integrate nicely into your existing Wizzy website. Just insert an HTML object and paste the code provided by the script. the script provides a dashboard to add/change/delete products so you don't have to edit and republish your Wizzy site to make changes. you will need to add a mysql database where the script stores the product data. most hosting companies provide that as part of a hosting plan.

i visited your site. not sure what you have going on but the home page loaded painfully slow for me. maybe some other forum members will try the site and let us know if it is just me or the site,

Thank you....well it's mostly images because that is easy for me. With my TDS connection, it loads pretty fast, but this is good to know. It only has a limited audience right now, so I'll find out from other folks if they are faring any better. It's static HTML hosted on Cloudflare if that makes any difference.
Yes what you describe is what I'm looking for, so I'll check out that product!

i have gigabit fiber that usually runs at 900+ Mbps. So not my connection speed.
Try using layout grids and putting your some individual images in the grid instead of full images for the content. once you get the hang of it you'll get a better site.
Noticed on your footer nav mention of forum, q & a, and knowlege base. PHPJabbers has scripts for all of those. I have used the q & a, but not the forum and knowledge base. the forum might be ok for smaller audiences and post.

No issues here in the UK instantly. Just upgraded from Gig1 (1,130 Mbps) to Gig2 (over 2,000 Mbps) thats at the Hub or (Router) and on my cell/mobile around 1200Mbps give or take. For testing I use the following samknows.com/realspeed from Cisco/ThousandEyes it may work for test but may depend on your model of router.
