祝贺是为了! 严重地. Your goal of starting your ecommerce business has likely been weighed down by the stress that comes with learning everything you need to know to get started. 但现在, here you are. One step closer to taking the leap into the landscape of your dreams, reaching for that business empire with all you have. So let’s get you going headed in the right direction.
目前为止, depending on how much coffee you consume at night and how many nights you have been making lists in your head of how to build out your ecommerce idea, it’s probably becoming clear that information overload is a real thing. Our job is to help you understand the crucial parts (and give you some insider tips) of quickly creating a powerfully engaging, customer-making machine. We’ll show you how to create an online store, getting it set up and running smoothly.
We have created a list that’s above all, simple to implement. It’s just 3 easy steps. 所以, let’s get started with step 1: decide on a web builder.
Take the Guesswork Out Of Choosing A Web Builder
When the thought of creating your very own successful online business first crept into your mind, you knew right away that you would need a, um…网站.
但, if you are like most of us, you don’t know the first thing about coding or programming. So how can you possibly make a website build happen? Maybe you’ve heard of something called a “website builder” which is supposed to do the work for you. But then, how do you choose a website builder that isn’t too bulky, complicated, or out of your budget? 这些问题会让你陷入困境, 像从气球中放气一样失去追求的动力.
你可能已经注意到, 围绕网站功能的问题，例如: 我想要一个广泛的博客部分吗? 增强的产品照片库? Facebook 和 Instagram 等社交媒体功能, ETC? 可以压倒刚起步的企业家.
所以, 第一的, 你必须决定你想让你的网站做什么, 然后你就可以开始挑选builder了. 如果它让您难以思考哪些功能是标准的, 那也不是你的错. 那里有成千上万的选择. 所以, 看看你所在行业的几个潜在竞争对手的网站, 并审核他们的网站，看看您自己的网站有哪些潜在的“必备品”.
写下这些项目，你就有了备忘单来帮助你前进. 使用此备忘单来缩小符合要求的网站建设者的范围. 现在, 不同的建造者需要不同的技能水平并且按不同等级定价.
我知道, 我知道…
但, before you start the painful task of searching out each web builder individually, to attempt to decide if their learning curves are worth it, just know…we’ve made it super easy. We’ve already built a barrier-breaking website builder with virtually no learning curve to understand—chock full of features that are satisfying to even the most robust ecommerce needs.
更何况, it comes with a cost that doesn’t make any sense (in a good way!). But more about all of this in a bit.
After you decide on a website builder, you must choose either a template or a designer to create your online store. Stay with us. You’re getting closer and closer to selling products online.
To Template or Not to Template: That is the Question.
That is the ONLY question you need to answer at this point. So don’t let this part of your journey become muddy with competing ideas. We are here not to let it. Choose an option and then move ahead with your plan. For your online store design, choose a template design or pay a pro to customize your design. 而已.
Templates work great! You want to make sure the products you wish to sell fit the overall feel of the design. Otherwise known as the theme. 还, ensure the theme functions in a way that works, showcasing product photos.
无论哪种方式, a large amount of money doesn’t need to be spent to be successful here. 作为企业主, do not fall into the trap of thinking custom is always better. Many times, adding specialized applications to your templated ecommerce site does more to add a function than you expected. 经常, 这些应用程序以可定制的方式运行，使您的网站看起来, 感觉, 和功能以及金钱可以买到的最好的网站建设者.
Ecwid 也让你了解这个. 说到模板, 拥有数百个应用程序的应用程序商店, 和定制能力, 我们支持你. 但, 在我给你详细说明之前, 让我解释一下你的第三步.
了解如何选择和连接您的域
您从头开始构建的网站即将完成. 希望, you are beginning to understand that it’s NOT too late for you to join the ranks of successful ecommerce companies. There is no time like the present, and since you are very close to starting, let’s put off not put this off until tomorrow and instead, plow ahead.
You are at your last step of this part of your eCommerce journey. 现在, it’s time to choose a domain name.
This is the name people will type into search engines to find your site. A couple of tips in selecting a domain name are these:
- 简单 (think about what you want to sell)
- Double-Check Spelling
- Avoid Numbers or Hyphens
- Add Keywords only if they make sense
下一个, you’ll need to register your domain through a hosting service. Some website builders come with this function built inside of their platform.
Now you’re ready to make sure you’re connected to the internet. After a few minutes have passed from the time you registered your domain, type in your website.
Do you see it in your search engine? Boom! 恭喜! Now you’re almost ready to start selling.
Stay tuned for future articles that will highlight how to set up your inventory, ship, work with 3rd party logistics (3PL), add products to your functional (!) 电子商务网站, set up a shopping cart, offer credit card payment processing, 和更多.
