Web sites made simple.
Have you ever thought about having your own 'piece of the web' - your own web site? Every business needs to have a presence on the web. Without it, your credibility falls. With a web site, you can literally reach millions of potential new customers.
What's the next step? What do you now? Get a free web site. Start with free. Here are a few steps to show you what is required to get on the web:
1) Register your own domain.
Click here to register. Registering your domain tells all the world that the name you have chosen is yours and yours alone. Anytime anyone in the world types www.yourdomain.com they will be directed to you. You can register .com domains for as little at $9.99* per year. No one else can use it so register today!
Note: if your are an eBay seller and now want to have your eComm on the web, your eBay user name and your domain name should be the same. This really helps people to find you and is priority #1 for Google Search engine.
2) Host your pages.
When you register your name, you need to put your web pages that tell about you somewhere on the web. This is called hosting. Somewhere in the world your web pages will be put on a computer where they are accessed when someone types in www.yourdomain.com. It doesn't matter where in the world these are hosted, but people typically have them hosted at the same place where they register their name.
3) Free hosting and making web pages. You are probably wondering how I can offer a free web page hosting. Well, it's simple, the free pages are ad driven. You get the free pages and there are carefully chosen ads placed at the top of you page to pay for the hosting. If you would like no ads you can get a hosting package for very little. Check out the prices here.
4) Shopping Cart and e-Commerce. You might have things you want to sell on the web and need a 'shopping cart' and the ability to process credit cards. These are 2 separate things. A shopping cart enables you to place inventory items, pictures, descriptions and prices on the web site. When a person clicks 'add to my cart' then that particular item is added to the shopping list of your customer. When the person pays for the merchandise, then a secure network goes into effect to enable you process credit cards on the web. This is called a 'gateway' and a 'merchant service'. The Gateway encrypts and secures all the information and passes it to the Merchant Service. The Merchant Service passes the money to your bank account.
5) Customer support all along the way.
This is the most important feature that you should know. You have 24/7 support for your hosting, shopping cart, merchant account and even help if you want someone else to do the entire work for you. But you will find that with the web site designs that I provide and the tools provided, you will become an eComm Wiz.
