This is what you'll need to start a
web store:

- A place to host your domain name.
Hosting Service.
- A shopping cart system.
- A designer to build your website.
Web Designer (me)
- Someone to maintain your website.
Webmaster (you)
- A way to accept online payments.
Now lets break these steps down into
manageable chunks.

Domain name
This is your www.***.com. Good names are getting harder
and harder to get. You may have to do some preliminary
searches to see
 if
your selection has already been registered, and if it
has~ plan to spend some time searching until you find
the name that is right for you.
You will have a choice of how long you want to register
the name, with the minimum time being one year. When you
have decided, go ahead and register the name. I
recommend doing your search and registration at GoDaddy.
The registration is affordable, your admin panel is easy
to manage, and they offer great support. Just go through
the checkout without purchasing any extras, all you need
it the domain name registration. Make sure you
write down your Login name and Password, I will need to
go in later and setup your DNS.
Webdesigner
Me, of course! All packages include the hosting
service setup, shopping cart system and web designer
fee. I will work with you to design the
perfect store for your business. I have put together a
four-choice design solution, that will cover every
possible style and budget. Browse through my site and
you will find the easiest, fastest, and most affordable
way to start a professional online store. Your new
online store will be designed to make things easy so
that you can concentrate on building your business.
Webmaster
That is one of the greatest features of using my system,
you will learn to be your own webmaster, thus saving
thousands of dollars! After the setup, I will provide
you with an admin panel, an orientation, a step-by-step
guide, flash tutorials~ all free! ...and I am always
available for free email support. Then if you need
additional help with your product setup, maybe
a tutor, a coach, a product setup specialist, a content
manager, or even a
store manager, I recommend Jill at Ready Set Shoppe (RSS).
She is an expert with my store system and clients, she
is a perfectionist like me, and she values your time,
your budget and your opinion.

Payment Processor
If you are going to make sales online, you will need a
way to collect money online. You can use a credit card
processor, a payment
 gateway
etc, but there is no need for that extra expense and
work. PayPal will be automatically integrated into your store for instant online payment.
To accept credit cards through PayPal, all you will need
a premier or business PayPal account. Just enter your
PayPal email address in the store payments section, and
your sales will be automatically deposited into your
PayPal account. EASY!
Now that I have explained it, I will tell you what
you have to do...
Simply register your domain name and paypal account,
then
purchase a boutique from me...so easy!
Extras
I do not provide marketing, domain name registration,
SEO (search engine services), or product setup, but I
will be happy to refer you to someone who specializes in
any of these areas. I do provide logo, illustration,
banner design, and photo optimization at an extra price,
if needed, just ask and I will quote a price.
Also additional help, changes and customizations are
always available at an additional rate of $35 per hour. |
