Many aspiring retailers are stunned by the cost of developing a new online store. Typically, building a quality, e-commerce website requires a small team a web designer, content provider and web developer—and their collective fees can be high. Confronted with this reality, many turn to supposedly inexpensive solutions—such as grafting unattractive PayPal payment buttons onto their current site, or hiring a developer to implement a random shopping cart. Unfortunately, neither of these methods make for a very enticing online store. So, while they may appear as inexpensive solutions, the long-term cost is loss of sales and a permanently damaged bottom line. Fortunately, the situation has changed over the last few years. Now you don’t have to be a big budget, brick-and-mortar retailer to sell online successfully.
So when Stephanie Churchill of Totally Zen sought a sensible method to sell her products online, we met, discussed the project in detail and decided on the Shopify e-commerce platform. Shopify provides a hosted e-commerce storefront that is powerful, flexible and search engine friendly. Shopify’s sophisticated administration tools let you organize your products, customize your storefront, accept credit card payments, track and respond to orders, and even more.
Compared with other e-commerce platforms, Shopify is easy to set up, skin with a highly compelling design, load with your products, and works with variety of credit card transaction processors.
