Unless you are an expert designer you'll need help building your eCommerce website. Here are some suggestions on how to get started.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are a key resource that can help you develop and maintain your business website. ISPs are companies that specialise in providing Internet Access and web hosting services for Small Business. You can use an ISP (OZNET) to help you design your eCommerce site, run the computer that will host (run) your eCommerce Business, and get your business connected to the Internet so that other users can access it. You can also choose to do any of the above yourself, but most people have their eCommerce site hosted at an ISP where it can be connected to the Internet cost effectively.

Building Your eCommerce Website

When building your Online Business you have the option to:

• Design the site yourself using page editor tools such as Adobe PageMill or Microsoft FrontPage. With these tools it is fairly easy to build a beginner  site, but once you move beyond the "Do it Yourself" (DIY) rudimentary stage, software products to support eCommerce solutions require a great deal of skill & customisation.

• Design the site using automated online shop building software available at major Hosting Providers. This type of software will help guide you through the process of building your online shop.

• Hire a designer company that specialises in Web Design and eCommerce (OZNET), or choose from Web Design Packages for Small Business, see our page, find a good web site developer, or visit our website showroom.

Running Your Online Business

Running an eCommerce website you can either:

• Host your business on your own PC and have it connected to the Internet by an ISP who can provide Internet access directly to your location.

• Have your PC hosted and connected to the Internet by an ISP. If you own the PC this is typically called "co-location hosting". You own the PC but it is stored and run at the ISPs location.

• Have the ISP do everything. They buy the PC and run it at their location. Here you also have several choices.

  • Share a PC with many other web sites - this is called virtual hosting.

  • Have the ISP provide you with a dedicated machine just for your business - this is called dedicated hosting.

Once your new website is online, you need to figure out how to accept payment for what you are selling. Visit  Accepting Credit Cards .

SEO for Google - Your website will not get many visits if you are not ranked amongst the top 30 search results. Therefore, doesn't it make sense to to put Google Ranking Optimisation on top of your Internet Marketing strategy?
