So, Your thinking of
Starting a new online shop?
When considering opening an e-commerce shop, it is important you consider this as carefully as if you were opening a high street store. Many people think that it is as easy as building a web-site and fame and fortune will follow. As a result of poor planning and consideration, the vast majority of online shops fail.
We can make your e-commerce shop successful. We offer all the solutions possible with our tailor made ecommerce packages to ensure success. There are a number of factors to consider when starting a new business for further details, see the e-commerce guided tour, or our e-commerce trade secrets page. The steps to constructing your site are as follows:
- Secure a domain name. (How do I choose an appropriate domain name?)
- Choose one of our e-commerce packages, or select one of our templates. (How important is design to the success of my online shop?)
- Choose one of our shopping cart packages or purchase third party shopping cart software. (What software is available?)
- Add your products / services to your web-site.
- Promote and market your e-commerce web-site.
So in summary, you first design your site, integrate shopping cart software, add your products and then finally promote and maintain your new e-commerce web-site.
How long does the whole process take?
Generally we will build a home page within 3-5 working days, discuss and build navigation in a further 2-3 days, add products over a further 3-5 days. Most sites are usually completed at about 7-10 working days of us receiving a deposit. If you simply requite the software and are choosing a template design, or using your own design, then this option is available immediately.
How much does it cost?
From £14.99 per month but the long answer is generally more than you may think. Take into account your time, domain name, marketing etc. A good realistic budget can vary but an indication is: Domain Name and Site Build is between £599.99 and £1499.99. If you would like us to add products to your web-site then this will be charged additionally. Starting prices from £49.99 depending on quantity and complexity.
