Online Storefront

If you have a small business, you may want to consider a storefront or an online mall. For a fee, these services help you build and will host a small Web site through which to sell your products or services. These "site in a box" Web site services generally have options that include everything you need to sell online.

Features and support vary by program and can include options such as search engine placement, credit card processing, and advertising. They tend to be template services, however, with less flexibility than a custom site. Familiarize yourself with current offerings in this area before making a final decision.

Custom Sites

If you have a business that is too large for or has outgrown smaller storefront services, you may want to consider more flexible custom site. For added cost you can have a unique site, receive greater support, and handle more traffic. You have options of hiring same company to design and host your site or using separate design and hosting services.

Hiring same company to design and host your site.

This option involves fewest logistics, but may come with trade-offs in design quality or host reliability. Be aware that designing and hosting require different sets of skills and expertise. When choosing a service, evaluate their experience and ask for references in both areas. Go to sites company has designed and navigate them. Note how sites look, how easy they are to understand, and how quickly they load into your browser.

To evaluate company’s ecommerce hosting capabilities, contact current customers and ask how pleased they are with service. Find out how often server is down and ask about help desk responsiveness. Find out what order related issues - if any - they have experienced. Also, consider how your site will be updated. Can you upload changes directly or do you have to wait for someone at hosting company to get to it? If it is latter, ask current customers about their experience with this process.
