Tips and Tactics for Online Success

  • Simplicity on sites is always better than putting out a site with all the available bells and whistles, which is difficult for the customers to navigate, and hard for the merchant to keep up and manage.
  • When choosing a software package/eCommerce solution, it's important to make sure that the programs offered can easily be intergrated into the programs that you are already using, or plan on using, such as Photoshop, Dreamweaver, FrontPage, and others.
  • For those unfamiliar with web design and programming, outsourcing the site design, building, administration, and maintenance may cost a fair amount of money, but the time saved and knowledge that your site is being professionally built and maintained will justify the costs.
