Re: building an online store

Would recommend a good domain name related to what you are selling and a good title for that page. Make it google friendly (search for that on their page) and be patient with getting indexed.

Re: building an online store

What you need is to add some shopping cart software, below are some options :

1. setup a webpage and add some photos on what you want to sell, and add use paypal..

2. create a shopping cart with yahoo:
smallbusiness.yahoo.com/ecommerce/ or google: checkout.google.com/

3. Setup oscommerce.com on a hosting account and just add paypal

Hope this helps

Re: building an online store

i suppose i should have asked more specific questions.
i have a domain name for my online store onlinesurfshop.com.au and know how to build a basic html site.
i downloaded oscommerce and uploaded it but the pictures didnt work and i got a bit lost.
i think im jumping to far ahead of my skill level.
maybee someone can help me with what should i learn next as im going ok with html and dreamweaver but thats just building basic informational websites like merimbulaboardriders.com.au.
i taught myself by doing a few online tutorials and if im looking at opening a online store what are the areas i need to study via some online tutorials. cheers gallopers.
