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