What are the benefits of designing an e-commerce website from scratch (i.e. not using a service that writes the code for you)?

How do I set two homepages, one for the mobile version and the 2nd for the desktop version?

You don’t want to have 2 versions - but just a different formatting. Then you only have to keep 1 version updated. You should base this formatting on the device size.
