Organizing and planning information on products, package options, item groups, categories, options to add or delete products or items need to be considered. This ensures a comprehensive inventory of the goods that would be handled in the business. Measures to control inventory, order stocks and shipping products, find place in this stage.

Creating separate pages for catalog and shopping cart is one of the main aspects to set-up an E-commerce portal. Each and every product finds place in the catalog with its best image along with its specification, price, discount offers and other necessary information. The shopping cart is designed to be simple and easy to be used by various categories of customers.

With careful consideration given to various payment options, their authentication, verification and acceptance, a complete E-commerce web portal is constructed after which it is published on the website for real time usage. Regular image updates on catalog, new products, their availability in the online store are other considerations that need to be made in maintaining a high performing E-Commerce web portal.

Shopping Cart

The most important feature of an Ecommerce Portal is Shopping Cart. As the name defines, it is playing the role of the Shopping Cart in supermarkets. In Shopping Cart, you can store the products that you want to purchase. Shopping Cart lists out the products you have selected, the quantity of the products, the price, Tax if any available, Net amount and all other details of the final purchase. Here you can add or remove the products you want. After adding items to your shopping cart, you moved out to Check Out process for paying the products you have purchased. Here comes another important feature of Ecommerce Portal named Payment Gateway Integration.

Payment Gateway

Payment Gateway Integration is the place where you have to give your paying details such as your debit or credit card numbers, your pin numbers, address to delivery, contact details etc. Payment Gateway should give the assurance of safe and secure for the privacy of the customers. Their details should be encrypted as they are highly dangerous of being misused. So Ecommerce Web Design should take care of this feature and provider should be highly secure to ensure that the information passes between the payment portal and the Front End Processor or acquiring bank. The big brand in Payment Gateway providers are PayPal, CC Avenue, EBS, Verisign, HDFC, SBI etc.

The e-commerce website, if properly designed by keeping the user in mind, is an excellent marketing asset and also provides an innovative channel for sales. There are lots of freelancers who work on online web designing projects and create affordable web page designs for organizations at low costs. They produce high quality e-commerce websites and carry out secure payment gateways like Paypal, 2Checkout, DirecPay, CC Avenue, EBS etc. These freelancer design websites which are optimized for search and get your website listed on top of your competition. Another important facet of the freelancer web design for e-commerce is the low cost development of full-bodied shopping carts with features that would eventually deliver value to your business through reinforced sales operation. Booming e-commerce web site development bets on attaining harmony between the user's abstract design of the web site and how the web site conveys the message and acknowledges orders in a non-threatening manner.

Non Paying Clients - [quote="SageMediaDesign":1utusz4l]In our first year of business, we finished a contract valued at just under $8k... and never saw a dime. [/quote:1utusz4l] Sorry to hear about this Sage Media Design but it happens so often doesn't it? I would suggest asking for a 25% - 50% deposit before you even start registering domain names or producing any mockups. Alternatively try to come to an agreement on a payment plan that consists of regular payments to you throughout all of the stages of the project, so at the completion of the project at least the client has paid 80%+ of the total price. The problem with using the "Payment on Completion" model is that it sometimes takes months to receive any payment from particular clients and this obviously impacts on your cashflow quite severely. Then you've got to consider clients who never seem to be happy so they can avoid paying any money.

Managing Your Website - Hi Beat I know what you are talking about when you say it could be a frustrating experience. I would recommend to every business owner to find a website partner who can handle the Website Design/SEO/Hosting by themselves while still at a reasonable cost to your business. This is the most economical way to operate the online side of your business if you are unsure about it. I actually do this for a few clients myself and all I do is send them a bill every year for hosting/seo but if there are any problems its up to me to call the hosting company to find out what's wrong as well as keep them high ranking for particular keywords. If anyone else has found it difficult with their website, hosting or the management of any online services please post your feedback here and I'll try to advise your best option.
