What is an E-Commerce website? An E-Commerce ("E" stands for "electronic") website is a virtual storefront that works as a products catalog and allows online ordering. It comes with a built-in shopping cart for customers and can accept real-time payment transactions using credit cards.
Who needs an E-Commerce website? This type of website benefits businesses that are products-driven and need to get more customers by extending their market reach via the Internet. For "brick-and-mortar" businesses that need to extend their business and turn it to a "click-and-mortar" business for the purpose of selling online and reaching customers far beyond their local marketspace. Products sold in an online store can be tangible (ex. toys, clothing, jewelry) or intangible (ex. downloadables - music, videos, photos). Small businesses with a physical store can be able to acquire more customers and sales, plus, gain a stronger Internet marketability because the website will increase their brand and image to both their local and non-local marketspace.
Is an E-Commerce website right for you? Running an E-Commerce website is just like operating a physical store. Like an actual store, putting products in an online store requires planning, organization and content, just like placing products on their shelves for display. For every product to sell better, presentation is key, so each item should have a well-written description and photograph that is crisp and clear representing product.
