If you have a business and would like to start selling your products or services online then you may wish to have an e-commerce website created. This will allow you to take payments for your goods or services through your website portal automatically. There are a number of different ways in which you can set up your e-commerce website. It may be quite straight forward or very complicated if your items have options or delivery prices change depending on area or item.
The cost for an e-commerce website varies massively from a few thousand pounds upwards of tens of thousands of pounds.
It is vital that you know exactly what you need your website to do and portray this to the design and development team that will be working on your site. If at all possible, write it all down so you can give them a copy to refer back to. Once you have gotten a quote from a company for the website it is a good idea to ask them for a detailed specification as this will allow you to check that they have included everything you need them to.
