Basically e-commerce is the process of selling something online. As simple as it sounds it one of the more complicated web design projects. The reason it’s more difficult is because of the shear number of solutions and the pieces of the puzzle that need to work together.

I offer three options for an e-commerce (shopping cart) website. Before we get to the description of the different packages, take a look at the main expenses.

Setup
This is the cost of the initial setup of your shopping cart.

Training
I show you how to add/delete/edit products and categories to your store. The prices shown are for included video training. The video training is an informal online video that shows me walking you through steps, just as though you were sitting behind me watching.

Merchant Account
You merchant account allows you to accept credit cards.

Gateway
The gateway is a service that connects your shopping cart to your merchant account.

Shopping Cart Hosting
This is the hosting for your shopping cart.
