I want to start an E-Commerce online trading website and would like to choose a good hosting and web design co to start with, saw ProStores and Ipowerweb, not sure whether these are the best and cheapest, and any one tried before, what’s the experience?

For hosting I use:

I tried a lot and they have all the features I need.

I have heard a lot of bad feedback about prostores and I think it’s a bit high if they are charging a monthly fee AND a percent of your sales.

Lots of web hosting companies come with ecommerce programs that can be installed with 1 click and managed through a web browser.

Good Luck!

My mom and I are have opened an e-commerce business. I used Yahoo Site Builder for most of it, but there were a few things I had to learn HTML codes for. I would describe it’s design as "simple", but my mom says it’s a little plain. What can I do to spice it up a little. Also, I would love some feedback on our products. Thanks for the help, I wasn’t really sure which category to post this in…

Sorry, but the Yahoo Site Builder offers you limited control of the appearance. If you’re serious about opening a store, you should learn how to make a real website.

Oh, and pink is the #1 color to turn off users to your site.

I have created a couple of WEB sites using Microsoft Office Publisher (!). I think it is OK for static WEB pages. But now, I want to advance. I ‘d like to handle databases, to create e-commerce sites, stuff like this. I understand Front Page is no good. I know basic HTML,CSS and MySQL. So what should I do? What is the best way to go from here? I do not want to become a prof WEB developer or en expert, just I need to craft some nice looking, advanced pages. Should I learn Dreamweaver? Is PERLor PHP a must? Whata about APACHE? ASP.net covers everything?
To rephrase my question: which are the best tools one needs to pass from elementary WEB design to a little more advanced WEB developing?

I would recommend that you learn CSS, some PHP and mySQL to begin with. There are lots of great books on these topics, and I would recommend starting at the library to save some money.

If you don’t own dreamweaver, you can get a good text editor such as Notepad++, it is free.

PHP, MySQL, and CSS are all easily available to find sources that are free online to help you out.

Let me know if you would like some more resources and help as this was the delima I was in a year or two ago.

Designers!

I’m looking for an affordable web designer to create a basic five page site with blog. NO FLASH PLEASE! I also need business cards. There are a trillion web designers out there but a lot of them offer weird, bizarre crap. The mood that I would like to create is hip, chic, fun, simple, modern and a bit indie. Sounds easy eh? Believe it or not lots of designers can get this right!

I’m simply looking for somone who is flexible and patient. Someone who is looking to build their portfolio and absolutely knows that good design can be affordable….kinda like Target. I’m not looking for the cheapest designer; but a designer who has creative vision. Experience with e-commerce and shopping carts a plus.

If you have a portfolio that matches with the above description…please send….

Here are some sites I like:

I am opening an e-commerce business, but I need a very professional looking website…on a small budget. I tried sitecube and I thought I’d really like it, but you can only have 240 products and I know I’ll have more than that. Do you know of any web hosting/web design companies that are reasonable, and maybe similar to sitecube (in that I could basically create my own web pages, but they were very professional looking)?

I work with these guys and they are very professional: http://www.quart-soft.com
With them you can find all web designing services under one roof (including website branding – logo design, visual identity etc.). What I like about them is that they are very responsible and offer free technical support for their clients and are always available for any modifications I want. Their prices are comparatively reasonable.
I am sure they can consult you on any issue about e-commerce website including choice of hosting etc.
I hope I helped you.

Hi

Im wanting to set up an e-commerce site for beauty products but am at a loss to which webhost offers the best value.
I would have approx 20 – 30 product types and already have a web design I would like to use.
I have found 1&1 to be poor on customer service – which host gets the best reviews?
Thanks
Steve

I would like to make an e-commerce website and instead of paying someone thousands of dollars to build it I would like to build it myself. I’ve always wanted to learn web design but I’m already going to college for something else. What do I need to learn to be able to design a great website? What programing languages do I need to learn? Any books that you recommend?

You’d want to take a look at these:

1. HTML and CSS, XML
for your actual web pages– the things that will show stuff to people who visit your website.

For this, I recommend "XHTML Complete" from Sybex, the book covers CSS also.

2. MySQL (or some other SQL variant)
for getting various data in and out of a database.

3. PHP (or another server-side language like Python or Perl)
for interfacing your HTML and CSS with your database/s– getting stuff from a database, like products and the corresponding price, and automatically writing HTML for that stuff.

For 2. and 3., frequent visits to http://www.php.net will be very helpful.

Also, installing a (Apache, Php, MySQL) web server in your computer will be necessary. Don’t worry, it’s just a small thing. I’ve heard good things about this, if you have a Windows box: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Of course, there are other web servers available out there. But they cost a lot of money.

4. (optional) JavaScript
for adding bells and whistles to your HTML and CSS.

5. (optional) Flash and ActionScript
for more bells and whistles.

On top of your college work, this may seem to be a bit daunting. But hey, I’m self-taught too.

Cheers!
