How to create web pages with e-commerce cheaply.E-commerce Web Site Design Using TemplatesBy Roger Weavers Building an ecommerce web site for your business where you can advertise and sell your products and except credit card payments used to be an expensive business. You would need to pay a specialist web site designer, make sure your hosting company could handle a secure area and pay for a merchant account. Setting up an ecommerce web site with a shopping cart would cost from $2,000 upwards. Now technology has moved on! If you are looking for an ecommerce solution and you know a little bit about web page editors like Frontpage or Dreamweaver you can now buy complete ecommerce web site templates from as little as $45. These templates are not just standard web site templates but also contain a product database, shopping cart software and online admin control panel to add and update your products. In fact you can get you ecommerce web site up and running within a few hours. All you will need to do is add some text to the standard pages and enter your product details. (If you paid a professional web site designer you would still need to provide them with text for the standard pages and product details) I recently decided to build an ecommerce web site and considered various options from complete DIY to paying a professional designer when I discovered Ecommerce Templates. I have used templates to build web sites before but I have always paid someone else to do the shopping cart integration, so I thought I'd give this a go. I paid $55 for the template and within a couple of hours the web site was up and ready to do business! Providing you can use FrontPage, Dreamweaver or GoLive to add text and pictures to the standard pages and you can use an FTP program to upload the pages to your web host you can build an ecommerce web site in hours. If you have not used one of the web page editors above then it is worth learning, its nearly as easy as using Word and could save you hundreds of pounds. Ecommerce Templates provide email support and when I tested it out I received a response within a few hours. There are also extensive help files on the web site so if you are not sure about something you can find the answer fairly quickly. I bought a standard template but you can also buy a
"plus" template which incorporates many more features including stock
control and multiple currencies. "Plus" templates start from $105 so check
out the features before you buy. There is a 30 day money back guarantee so what have you got to lose? Find out more at EcommerceTemplates.com
