Article by Rosan Raaz

By now, we have all known the importance of credit card payments in both large and small companies. Processing credit/debit cards via internet has turned to be one of the fastest and best growing transaction segments today. There are several card processing providers present in the market to provide best possible services to its clients. It is seen that most small size business suffers from various loss of revenues and thus look for card providers who can guide them to earn a good position. It is very essential to set up a merchant account in a business so as to earn the maximum benefit from the customers. Nowadays customers/ clients look for those companies who have facilities of online transaction. The reason behind this is nothing but to have an easy payment delivering and accepting between two parties.

Did you know that setting up a merchant account fetch several benefits to a business? Here below are few of the features that can make your business draw more customers from the market. They are:

Credit card payments processing accepts all important credit cards. Good card processing system complete transaction in seconds.The process can receive orders from off-line and do the card transaction accordingly. The system can accept as well as process card payments in real time.The system can issue credits as well.The system has the capacity to view your entire online transactions.The system also has the power to void the transactions that your business doesn’t need.

It is very important to have security in internet credit card processing in order to control fraudulent activities. Most of the times, the credit cards cannot be verified soon after swiping just like users do for the retail merchant account. This is the reason, why business entrepreneurs should be choosy while selecting the company that specializes in internet merchant accounts and internet transactions. If your business already has a merchant account, make sure you verify whether your account supports online credit card payments.

Get good credit card terminals to boost up your online sales. This is a device that is required to perform easy transaction with both credit and debit cards. There are several forms of credit card payments terminals available in the market. Almost all of them have the same basic functions and purpose. These machines allow the merchants to key in or swipe the necessary credit card information thereby transmitting the data to the concerned merchant service provider. The newer models process gift cards along with credit cards and even have the facility to do check verification. Most of the machines transmit the data over the internet or standard telephone line. There are companies that provide terminals in a discounted price. It is up to you to select the best machine from the lot for your business and accordingly avail the discount. Buying the equipment can be done from any provider, but make sure you assign some a professional hand to so the programming and set it as per the business requirement.

Your Questions About Building Business Partnerships

Helen asks…

How to get involved in the business of medical tourism?

I’ve done a little research on the internet on this matter and I’m interested in knowing but need precise information on the steps involved in setting up a medical tourism agency in the U.S and how to target consumers.

how can I go about building affiliate partnership programs with other countries to service the residents of the United States.

Administrator answers:

So you want to market out of the US surgical services to US citizens?

Then you network here in the US with groups of affluent people in the target population. That means doing limited memberships at country clubs, becoming a regular at golf courses, becoming part of ladies who lunch groups, doing charity functions.

You’ll need your travel agent license and you’ll need to travel to meet the doctors and make sure they are credentialed and that they offer the facilities that these people will need. You’ll also need to find a good facility for post-op care with an in-house or in-room nurse. Whether that’s a hospital facility with a private luxury suite or a privately owned accommodation.

Joseph asks…

how can my husband work out how much he is owed having left a business partnership?

my husband was in partnership with his brother for 5 years the business is a small landscaping company which the brother is continuing with alone, there is an outstanding business loan but many assets i.e tools, van etc no one can seem to agree on what monies are owed to whom as the brother is saying the loan is equal to the cost of tools and van etc so therefore my husband won’t receive anything for his half of the business???? we didnt want to involve solicitors as it would create problems within the family but my husband is upset that after 5 years of hard graft building up the business he has come away with nothing is this fair???
the brother originally said he wanted to buy my husband out what we cant figure is how to go about deciding how much half the business is worth – do you just take into account profits/losses as they stand now or is there alot more to it?

Administrator answers:

Fair – no. But unless your husband or a lawyer is willing to sit down and talk about it with the other brother, nothing is going to get done except create hard feelings.

You may wish to have a tax professional look over the returns if you have them.

Helen, EA in PA

Ruth asks…

do i need anything else apart from a business plan ?

i am planning to do an event in the UK and looking to build a partnership organization . i was wondering weather i need anything else apart from a business plan to do this and in what tense do you write a business plan ?

Administrator answers:

Well I hope the spelling and grammar are better in your business plan than your question, I think you mean wondering whether, not weather, that is about the rain and the sunshine. And as for your business plan, the clue is in the question, a plan is looking ahead not back so how can there be any doubt as to the tense in which it needs to be written

Ken asks…

how can we fairly dissolve a business partnership?

my husband and his brother have a small landscaping company which my husband no longer wants to be involved with, the brother wants to continue the business with the same business name as they have jointly built a good reputation, however the brother is now saying that my husband is not owed anything for his share of the business which includes a work van, tools, and other assets- he hasn’t allowed us to see past bank statements yet my husbands name is still on the account, we are also concerned that my husband will be held accountable for future debt etc and he is also still paying national insurance on the businesses earnings and i assume will be liable for tax until his name is officially removed from the business – how do we go about removing his name is it something they alone can do or does it need to involve solicitors/accountants??? also how do we work out the businesses worth for the purpose of the brother buying my husband out of his half???

Administrator answers:

Consult a legal adviser ASAP .. At this very moment his brother may be moving assets and withdrawing funds from the business in order to reduce or eliminate your husbands share ..

Sandy asks…

Hello everyone,I have this essay I have to do and I want y’all to tell me if its a good essay. Please help?

How can Business and Education better work together to build the community.

To build the community it will have to start with the schools. Education is the key to building a strong community. Today schools have different methods of characterizing businesses and the community. Schools are preparing students for the world and how it is changing. There are schools to work partnerships for students today. The school to work partnerships builds community support for schools and public policy.

In order to for partnerships such as education or business to be successful they need to have an understanding of different ways to produce students with new skills. To build a better community the different businesses have to work together to resolve their problems. Business and schools can work together to build a community and make it stronger through different colleges.

Teachers and educators must be able to help students understand how important education is when it comes to business. If a student can see the importance of education the community will become a lot stronger. To build a community it takes patience and learning and also building a better curriculum for students.

There must be support for the community and schools. The economy is in terrible shape because of the lack of support from different sources such as money. Our communities are very weak. We must start planning for the future of our community. If we plan better and society work together business and education will work together to build a better community.
Is this essay alright or do I need to add something to it. Please Help.

Administrator answers:

This is a pretty good essay and you have good ideas. I tried to maintain your writing style. I only added a few words or rearranged a few sentences to convey a point more clearly. There are two small parts where the point is not very clear.
________________-
Building a community should start with the schools. Education is the key to building a strong community. Schools today have different methods of characterizing businesses and the community.

->Not sure the idea this is communicating->Schools prepare students for the world and how it is changing. There are schools to work partnerships for students today. The school to work partnerships builds community support for schools and public policy.

Successful partnership between education and business requires an understanding of the different ways to teach new skills. Ideally, businesses should work together to resolve their problems. This type of unity will help business convey needs in the workplace to the schools and aid in building a better curriculum for students.

?-> Not sure what this sentence means->Thus contributing to building a community and make it stronger through different colleges.

Teachers and educators must be able to help students understand how important education is when it comes to business. If a student can see the importance of education, the student might feel motivated to contribute to the community.

Building a strong community will take patience and support from the community, business and the schools. One reason the economy is in terrible shape is due to lack of resources such and financial support. As a result, our communities are weak. We must start planning for the future of our community. If we plan better and work together business and education will eventually build a better community.

Your Questions About Iphone 5 Verizon

Nov03
2011

Written by Administrator

Sandy asks…

Would the future Verizon iPhone 5 support grandfathering?

I know that Verizon is gonna cap its data plans as well come this summer. My mom can’t decide whether to get a Verizon iPhone 4 or wait for the 5. She currently has unlimited data and can keep it with the iPhone 4. If she waits for the iPhone 5 and Verizon isn’t offering unlimited data anymore when it does come out, will she keep unlimited data when she gets it or will she be forced into choosing a limited data plan?

Administrator answers:

No one knows and Verizon isn’t saying. However, if you read the various statements that Verizon has put out about tiered data, it really doesn’t sound like they intend to grandfather unlimited plans.

Typically, I advise people to wait for the new iPhone. In your mother’s case, I’d advise seriously considering the 4 because of the data plan.

Linda asks…

When does the iphone 5 for verizon come out?

I’m getting a new phone, and I really want an Iphone, but I don’t know when the iPhone 5 comes out for Verizon. Should I wait? Or just get the Iphone 4? Also, how much would they cost with an upgrade?

Administrator answers:

I’m pretty sure next year, because it was delayed due to the not-so-recent tragedies of japan, but some people are saying september 2011.

David asks…

T-mobile contract expires August 24, but I want to get an Iphone 5 Verizon?

Alright so my T-mobile contract expires August 24, but I want to switch to Verizon when the Iphone 5 comes out which may come out in September (hopefully), what if it comes out September 7 and I decide to port my current T-mobile number right then, would I have to pay a fee T-mobile and also would I still have to pay my final bill to T-mobile?

Administrator answers:

Once your contract is up with T Mobile then you will not have to pay any early termination fees. When the new version of the I Phone comes out then it is always hard to get a hold off sometimes for weeks if not months after the release. Since you would be on a month to month contract with T Mobile then all you would have to pay is your final bill which should not be that much. I just read the news paper that stated Sprint’s I Phones 5 will be out Oct. 15th. Their plans are alot cheaper so I wanted to include that. I hope that this helps.

Charles asks…

Should I wait for the iPhone 5 or get the Verizon iPhone 4?

I am an existing Verizon Wireless customer. I own a Droid X but I am not satisfied with the phone. Apple usually releases a new iPhone every June. But I am very impatient. If I would wait, I hope that the iPhone 5 will be 4G and will go to Verizon. If the iPhone will not be 4G, then I think I will get the iPhone 4

Administrator answers:

Well they say that the iPhone 5 is just a refurbished version of the iPhones 4 (it will not have 4G that is for sure), they “solved” the antenna problem and add a few updates, but like always the “next generation” of iPhone is almost the same. My best is just get the iPhone 4 in Verizon, at least it will not have a fail network.

Michael asks…

When does the Iphone 5 for Verizon come out?

when does the Iphone 5 for verizon come out !?

Administrator answers:

Apple releases a new iPhone every June. Apple has not said whether the next Verizon iPhone will be released with the new GSM phone.

Administrator answers:

Join all the social networks that you can and let people know where you website is. The other is to send out press releases letting people know what you do and website address. Next place free classified ads (search yahoo and google) in the appropriate areas. Make sure that your site has content and helpful information, write articles and submit them as well. Optimize you website with keywords for your business or niche. Get a Ad Blaster and use that several times a day along with different pages of your website and that will raise your rank with alexa. Manually submit your URL to the Major search engines after you optimize. Look for allied business and then link with them.

Joseph asks…

Retail website development question: checkout issues?

I’m developing a retail website that will sell products from multiple sellers. What’s the easiest way to set it up so that some items’ payments get sent to one person, and some items’ payments go to another person? I want the payment to be made at my site, and pass through to the end seller. Essentially, if someone purchases a $5.00 trinket, I want that $5.00 payment to go directly to the person selling that trinket. I don’t need to keep any portion of the sales amount (I would make my money on advertising on the site). Are there any services that I can set up that someone gives me their credit card info, and it gets processed, and a check is automatically cut and sent to the end seller? Any constructive guidance would be appreciated…. Thanks!

Is there any truth behind the iPhone 5 rumors?

As of right now, I have an iPhone 3GS and it works well. I must say, it’s a good phone.

Anyways, I’m eligible for an upgrade, but I didn’t want to purchase an iPhone 4 if the iPhone 5 is going to be released soon.

What’s in a good photography portfolio?

Back in high school, I did photo 1-4 and advanced studies at the community college, as well as frequently helping out a local professional photographer. I was all set to study photography in college, but I met my husband a few weeks before I graduated high school, and never ended up going to college at all. At the time, it was right on the brink of when digital was surpassing traditional photography, and since I didn’t have room in our first apartment to set up a darkroom, nor the money to get into a digital setup, I just let photography go for a while, so I could pick it back up when we were in a better financial situation, and I could get the equiptment I needed. I have continued helping out the same photographer I did in high school over the years, and have gained invaluable knowledge of working with digital and doing all different types of photography. Last Christmas, my husband bought one of his old backup cameras for me (a Canon 20D, that had only been used a few times). Thankfully, most of the equiptment I had in high school doing traditional photography works with the new camera, so I have a good, semi-professional setup, albeit a bit outdated equiptment due to financial restrictions. I have had no problems finding clients who can’t afford a professional photographer, and am now regularly doing product photography for 5 small businesses websites, and odd jobs here and there (I only charge $10 an hour, which makes it affordable). Recently, a lady wanting a outdoor family portrait (a customer of one of the businesses I do photos for) asked to see my portfolio. I told her the truth, I haven’t ever gotten around to assembling one.

Seeing as I’m finding myself doing more and more work as the word spreads about my affordable rates and eye for lighting, I really do need something to show people that I do actually know I’m doing. Right now, all my best shots are on my computer and haven’t even been printed. I see no need at this point for a website, I just want a portfolio I can carry with me. While I haven’t had a camera until recently, I have still been using my photographer friends cameras, and have images ranging from studio/product work, architecture, sports, portraits, pets, wildlife, landscapes, “experimental/abstract”, you name it, I’ve done it and have some phenomenal shots. My main focus is on product/studio work, but I also want to highlight my eye for lighting (lighting is my biggest strength in photography, be it in a studio or natural) and to have a well rounded portfolio. My SIL gave me a blank scrapbook that holds 20 8×10 photos, has a durable hard cover, and seems pretty excellent for keeping my portfolio in. I guess I’m really looking for tips on what to put in a good, well rounded portfolio?

Administrator answers:

You can include some of your best photos in it. If you make different styles, you can separate them into chapters. You can put words among them. And you can make also a digital portofolio

Richard asks…

where would you look / like to see fertility test promos?

I have a small business selling affordable fertility products (pregnancy & ovulation tests) but just not sure where to advertise next.

We are on yahoo, google msn etc – paid advertising. Also we have advertised on radio, some other australian fertility websites.

we have thought of pregnancy magazines but unfortunately most people don’t require our services at that stage…until they try again next time – we are worried that with such a long time in between they would forget about us….

So i guess, the question is for you girls who are trying to conceive……. where would you look / like to see this sort of advertising.

Any suggestions would be great.

Note: this a genuine enquiry and not spam or a ploy to get more business (business name is not listed / displayed for this reason).

(no spam please or unnecessary comments please)

Administrator answers:

Well as a woman. You can get a woman’s attention by advertising a small flyer or coupon size paper in tampons or pregnancy test and pads.

George asks…

How would you fix the health care system?

Mc Cains plan in to give you a $5000 tax credit. You job doesn’t have to cover you anymore. So you in turn will have to pay for your medical care. He also wants to free up where you can buy your health coverage insurance. You can buy from other states. In hopes that this will drive down cost.
Obama’s plan is not universal health coverage. Establish a National Health insurance so that people with no heath coverage & small business to buy affordable. Make insurance companies cover pre existing . I believe its what Mitt Romney did in Mass,

You can read more on each one of their websites. Or do you have a better idea?

Administrator answers:

We already have a government run model in medicare which is working fine. I say we make it broader and people can decide if they want their payroll deduction to go to a medicare system or a private company.
Medicare recipients have the choice now between regular medicare or private insurance. I say expand that, it would be the least risky for all concerned.

Charles asks…

Building a website on VistaPrint….?

I have several questions to anyone who has used VistaPrint to build a website for a small business.

1) Can I use my own logo/design, instead of their templates?
2) Have you utilized PayPal on your site? If so, did you encounter any problems?
3) Did they correctly charge you for the per transaction fees each month?

Also, if anyone knows of another “build-your-own” websites (affordable), please let me know.

Thanks everyone!

Not sure about Vistaprint except they got great business cards cheap.
Paypal is good I’ve not had a problems with them.

How do I get my site to appear on a google search/on the first page of a search?

Administrator answers:

1) Hire a professional to do it. It shouldn’t cost more than a few hundred if you don’t have TOO much stuff on it. A good professional program would cost you that much, and it’ll take you too long to learn it. And don’t be taken in by ‘easy to use’. That means they give you standard templates, which means your website look like it came out of a cookie cutter.

2) Maintaining a website is much easier than designing a website, and unless you want to update it frequently maintenance is zero, just pay monthly hosting costs.

Bandwidth should be of no concern as your website will unlikely draw too much traffic. The “standard” business package should suffice.

3) Search Engine Optimization is NOT an exact science. There are no tricks other than make your site “relevant” to the keywords you want to be associated with, and let the search engine’s spiders do the rest. Any one that says otherwise just want your $$$.

Laura asks…

Which ecommerce/shopping cart provider is most user-friendly, reliable & affordable?

I am starting an online gourmet food/gift business & will need dropship automation plus web hosting too. Is it best go with a package deal (like Volusion) or do you end up paying more doing that? I’m also interested in website design services that are reasonably priced. I would appreciate any unbiased help!

Administrator answers:

Go-Daddy has everything we need and use. It’s easy and affordable. It’s also simple to use. But there are others, and they are all about the same. Prices can vary somewhat, you’ll need to check a few sites out to meet your individual needs.

Ruth asks…

Why don’t people use my website – websiteking.co.uk?

I offer a professional, affordable web design service but have very little custom from the internet. I know I need to get the word out more but the people who are visiting are just not contacting me, why not?

Administrator answers:

There are two problems you are facing:

1) How to get traffic to your website

2) How to turn the traffic you get into leads, prospects or buyers

I recently answered question 1 for someone else, so you can check that answer in my profile…

As for question 2 goes, I believe you should split test your home page as it is with a squeeze page type landing page.

Take the time to create a killer squeeze page that doesn’t give the visitor too many options. Right now if I go to your site I have the option to look at your services and prices, your Portfolio, your freebies, request a quote and more… The sole purpose of your landing page should be to capture the visitors name and email address so that you can follow up with that lead and have a chance to turn them into your customers.

Instead of inviting people out for coffee (very localized), you could offer a free 1 on 1 30 minute consultation via chat or skype… That makes it global. The only thing your visitor would have to do is enter their name and email address and schedule it.

Remember it is not only of how much traffic you get to your page, but what you do with that traffic that really counts.

Let me know if I can help you…

Charles asks…

Why bother designing a web site from scratch when there are so many affordable services?

I’ve been interested in web design for a very long time, but I’m starting to feel that the time and effort it will take me to create and code a so-so website are hardly worth it when I could just use drupal, weebly, wix, even wordpress, (i’m sure there are FAR better examples out there) or whatever and make a much more professional looking one that already has all the login accessibility and stuff so that I don’t have to code it myself. Why doesn’t everyone just use one of these systems? You can still make your own theme from scratch and have your own domain name etc, and it’s so much more efficient for a better final site!
Thoughts?

Administrator answers:

The main two reasons to design websites manually still remain:
1) More freedom in what you get to do.
2) Ability to make your web sites more accessible to everybody.

They’re really the same reason though. It’s a little more difficult to separate structure from style and the like, using a tool.

It takes a lot of work to configure WYSIWYG programs to create code that is actually just even standards compliant.

I’m not sure if those too are great, because I haven’t used them myself. But isn’t Wix a free Flash compiler and Word-Press a web-log editor?

Paul asks…

Any good reliable website advertising / SEO out there ?

I’m triying to improve traffic to my website so im triying to find reliable and affordable website advertising or SEO services. Ive tried a few things before and nothing has ever given real results. Mostly junk traffic or links on pages that no one visits.
If it helps at all my website is http://www.yourtypos.com . Its designed to find misspelled items on ebay. So if i could find an advertiser that targets shoppers/ ebay shoppers would be ideal. Thank You

Administrator answers:

You can do SEO your self. This is only an option for you if you want to do this on your own and have it for free.
Here are the list:

1. Post blogs about your website.
2. Submit articles
3. Social Bookmarking
4. Submit your website manually to search engines
5. Use keywords liberally on your site, so long as they are used in the correct context of your site topic and content.
6. Reciprocal linking and link popularity.

More of information in the website below. But if you want other people to do it for you, there’s a website below that can help you. I hope this helps.

Why Your Business Needs A Free Online Store

Oct23
2011

Written by Administrator

by tsuacctnt

Is your business selling online? If not it’s definitely something you should consider. Ecommerce retail sales have risen drastically in recent years from billion in 2005 to a projected 4 billion in 2010 according to a study by JupiterResearch. With the advent of free online store solutions selling online is easier and more affordable than ever. If you aren’t selling online here are few points to consider:

In a physical store you are limited to customers who pass through your doors. An online store has worldwide reach allowing you to reach customers you wouldn’t have normally been able to sell to. This is especially important in rural areas or if you’re physical store is in an out-of-the-way area.
– Often orders will be placed at your online store which you would normally not have gotten in a physical store. A customer may wish to order after hours or may simply not want to make the trip to your store however may buy if they can do so online. These additional sales can add to your bottom line, especially important in this economy.
– A free online store can provide valuable presale information to customers who are shopping around to make a purchase. This can lead to increased in-store sales. This is especially true for large ticket items.
– Gone are the days of having to be a programming to set up or maintain an online store. Many free online store solutions on the market today require no knowledge to set up or maintain the website. This allows you to sell online without advanced computer or HTML knowledge.
– How many business investments can you say this about? Setting up a free online store costs you nothing but its return can be huge. Your only real investment in setting up a free online store is the time it takes to set it up.

There are a number of free online store solutions on the market today. You’ll want to choose one which is easy to use, has at least minimal support available and a host which has a reputation for quality service for at least 3-5 years. www.WebplusShop.com and vstore are a couple of examples. Most free online store providers will help you with setup if you encounter any issues and many will set up your free online store for you for a small fee. Once your free online store is online and ready to accept orders you’ll want to post a link to it from your existing website, if you have one. This way visitors to your current website can also easily visit your online store. From there remember to promote, promote, promote! Your free online store is just like your physical store in that you must get the word out for people to know about your store, to come there and to make a purchase. You can promote your free online store literally millions of ways from bumper stickers to newspaper ads to flyers to online ads. Any way you can get your website name out there is a potential visitor and sale. Often creative marketing works better than expensive marketing. A good place to start is adding your free online store website address to all advertising, signage, etc. Let your existing customers know about your free online store and tell them to spread the word. Remember, the more you promote your free online store the more sales you’ll make!

Affordable Website Design?

I need an affordable website designin 50$. Please help?

Administrator answers:

If you don’t already have a website then you could use WordPress, which is opensource so free to use. There are loads of free templates available for WordPress. You could also buy a template, they are usually not too pricey depending on how fancy you want. WordPress is very user friendly, so if you don’t have a lot of experience then it’s a good way to go. It’s also highly flexible so if you are more advanced then you can do a lot to customize it.

What is the most affordable and easy to use website design software for a mac?

Also is there any web design websites that are helpful?

Administrator answers:

I don’t use a mac… But there should be pre-installed software on your mac that says i-life or something and you can publish automatically to the web and stuff…. Also go to apple.com/downloads and they have this awesome software (which i wish they made for windows… Sniffle lol) that allows you to code css design and all that

Lizzie asks…

Where can i get good website design thats affordable?

Administrator answers:

There are many companies out there, you can just go to google and search for web design companies
BUT
they charge you over $1000 for a website, or maybe they offer you just 200 or $300 dollar for a website ( that would be a templated based website)
my recommendation to you is that to go to

http://affordablewebsitedesigninfo.com/

or
www.graphicday.com
they offer high quality websites, affordable prices + life time customer support!
Good luck

What Makes Business Tick Today – Ecommerce Solutions

Oct17
2011

Written by Administrator

by SeedRocket_

The internet has made hitherto unthought-of possibilities a reality. Ecommerce or electronic commerce has opened up new vistas of doing business anytime, anywhere. The need for complete ecommerce solutions is daily paving the way for innumerable innovations in the field of information technology. Ecommerce developments have the potential to change the financial equations existing between the nations of the world.

The buying and selling of products or services over the internet is referred to as ecommerce. Ecommerce development is directly proportional to increase in internet availability and usage. The search for perfect ecommerce solutions has stimulated areas such as electronics funds transfer, supply chain management, inventory management, data management, online transaction processing and web site designing to name a few.

Today’s advanced technology and the internet boom allows ecommerce solutions to run businesses the world over. There are ecommerce solution providers through out the world who are capable of delivering customized ecommerce web site design for the end users and customized ecommerce software for the back end operations. A complete ecommerce solution includes design and development of a web site, database of products/service offerings; order processing systems, payment systems etc.

]]>

With a complete ecommerce solution, the hassles of running a business are magically removed. There is no need for a store space or salesmen or premises administration etc. ecommerce developments have ensured that the customer can simply visit the online store of his choice, place his order, make his payments and relax. In a fixed time, the goods are delivered to him physically by mail, at his doorstep.

Ecommerce software also known popularly as shopping cart software is a software application that is integrated into the ecommerce web site, as part of a complete ecommerce solution. The ecommerce software runs on the web server and allows customers to browse through the web site, choose items, dump them into ‘shopping carts’ and then order the items. A common example for what the ecommerce software does is the ‘Search’ feature available in any ecommerce web site.

Ecommerce software typically has three components: a database to store product data, a user interface that acts as a ‘store front’ and an admin area that allows the store keeper to manage items in the store. Most of the store data is available in backend databases; this means an ecommerce web site design should be in a way that allows the web pages to be loaded dynamically, depending on what the end user chooses to view.

Ecommerce solutions are available as off-the-shelf applications. These solutions will include ecommerce web design and ecommerce software woven together seamlessly. A business can buy such an application and then customize it to its needs. Ecommerce solutions are available for different broad business categories like book stores, travel agencies, grocery stores etc. A good ecommerce solution should be able accommodate and handle increase in catalog items and increase in order volumes.

Ecommerce development can be customized to handle both Business-to-Business(B2B) as well as Business-to-Consumer (B2C) situations, on the web. B2B allows business to be conducted between two businesses like a credit bureau agency providing credit information to banks. B2C allows businesses to interact with individual consumers like a book store selling books to customers.

Mandy asks…

Is this Flash developer ripping me off?

A friend recommended a flash designer/developer to me to create a banner ad for a website I own. The designer quoted me about 4 – 5 hours work and a bid of around $150. This is the banner he created:

http://studentpages.scad.edu/~kuliao20/CMAO/banner_728x90.html

The Flash banner he sent me is ugly and looks like a high school kid created it for a class project. I cannot use this banner to represent my company because it is of such poor quality. The different pages in the ad don’t match each other (I don’t understand why they all look different), the whole thing is boring and it appears that there was very little creative effort involved. He didn’t design any original images or graphics for the ad and instead just copied and pasted graphics that were already on the website.

When I told him the Flash ad was way below my expectations, that it looked unprofessional and that I wouldn’t be able to use it to advertise my site, he told me that if I wanted it to actually look good, I would have to pay him for another 4 or 5 hours of work. Basically, he claimed that his original quote did not include time for creativity and if I wanted an interesting, click-worthy banner, I would have to pay him twice as much. I thought that was ridiculous, because NO ONE goes to a graphic designer and says, “can you make me something really ugly and boring, but affordable?”

My question is, is this guy trying to rip me off? I already decided that I WILL NOT pay him twice as much as his original quote just to get a decent Flash banner. Is this how Flash developers generally operate? They get someone’s business with an artificially low price quote, then try to fleece them for more money by producing an ugly Flash ad which needs twice as much work to be improved?

Administrator answers:

Yes, he is very much ripping you off. Don’t give him a dime and go with someone who actually has a good reputation.

David asks…

Estate agent have sold a property to somebody else now – do i have a case against them??

I require a bit of advice about an estate agent and whether I have a case against them. This is my story:-

I made an enquiry with an estate agent about an “affordable home”. I was required to provide a £250 deposit in order to reserve this property. On 5th June 2007 I attended at the estate agents to find out more about the property. I had the £250 deposit cheque that I had been told to bring with me. I was very keen to purchase this property but the estate agent told me that they could not take the deposit cheque until they had proof we could fund the purchase. They therefore made me an appointment to see their mortgage advisor the following week. When I attended to see their mortgage advisor she confirmed to me I could obtain a mortgage for this property but that she could not take matters any further that day because something had come up a section 106 agreement on the property and she needed to find out more before she could proceed to arrange a mortgage. Whilst I was with her she told the estate agents not to take anyone else’s deposit for this property until she had clarified the position. She said as soon as she heard from the local authority or the developer she would get back to me in order that I could proceed with the purchase. She then telephoned me on Friday last week to say she still hadn’t heard anything about the s106 agreement and that she was due to be receiving an email and as soon as she received it she would be in touch. I said I was still very keen to proceed.

However, on Monday this week I was looking on the estate agents website just out of interest and I noticed that the property I had enquired about was now sold subject to contract. I immediately contacted the estate agents and they confirmed that they had sold this property to somebody else. I explained the situation and how I had spoken to their mortgage advisor on Friday who said she was waiting to hear back still. They said to me that this person who is purchasing the property did not need a mortgage and the s106 agreement did not affect them. I have contacted the estate agents and they apologised to me and said that this has occurred because of a breakdown of communication between their company. I am very concerned and upset that they have now sold this property to somebody else. As far as I was concerned as soon as their mortgage advisor had received the information I would have been able to proceed. I was able to give the £250 deposit over two weeks ago but because of the difficulties that had arisen in relation to the s106 agreement I was told to hang on to it until the position was clearer

I do not believe that I should miss out on the opportunity to purchase this property because of a lack of communication on their part. I am very keen to purchase this property and I would like to know whether there is anything that I can do or say to them so that I can proceed with the purchase. I do not believe I should lose out because of them.

Administrator answers:

Section 106 agreements are established by the planning departments of the local authority. I would call the local authority and enquire regarding the specific property you were trying to purchase. The purpose of these agreements is to ensure that there are a proportion ‘affordable’ homes built in new developments. If you were advised by the estate agent’s mortgage adviser to get approval for a mortgage first before having your offer accepted and then the estate agent sells the property to a cash buyer – I suggest that there may have been a contravention of the s106 agreement. You need to find out exactly what the local authority agreement stipulated. If there is a dispute the same local authority’s trading standards department may be able to advise you on what the next step should be.

Paul asks…

v6friendship.org YM chatter have 300gig space? is it true one can host 300gig??? its more than my hard drive.?

its alot of space. I’m not very sure how a hosting company can provide such a very huge hosting space. chatters said there website is hosted 300gig for the website and pictures but I cannot confirm if its true. Top web developer web designers and web design company and firm will surely host in that server if they will have alot of space. very cheap web hosting and affordable ? I like the idea and if its relieble and 100% uptime. They say its top webhosting and it is top on top webhost / webhosting reviews. here is the site v6friendship.org Anyone who need web hosting please help me review and find out if its true. Thank you.

Administrator answers:

Overselling works at attracting first-time customers. There are lots of first-time customers out there, so hosts who oversell naturally have an advantage at attracting these types of customers.

So, in the short-term, overselling is a great business strategy. Long-time its not a bad strategy either, IF you can keep those first-time customers.

The trouble is that its very hard for oversold hosts to retain customers long term because overselling eventually leads to overloading, which leads to lots of upset customers.

NOT overselling is more likely to attract customers who’ve been burned by oversellers, who are knowledgeable and serious, and want a host with whom they can actually feel safe. These types of customers make up a smaller segment, however, so its only natural that hosts who don’t oversell as much are smaller.

The advantage to NOT overselling is that, frankly, its so much easier from the perspective of a host. You don’t have to worry about servers getting overloaded, you have a much more loyal customer base, you are more likely to get referrals, you have fewer support requests, and overall, a lot less stress. These benefits trickle down to customers as well.

Also many the hosting reviews sites and top hosters are there because they pay to be just go to the review sites click on advertising see for your self or they just affiliate links and google adsense links crazy but true.

Many unlimited space badwidth hosts also will kick you off if you are using too much cpu resources etc.

My host ain’t the cheapest but I know I’m getting what I pay for with http://jm-webhosting.com great speed and support

Maria asks…

How Can I let Businesses in Tallahassee Know about My Affordable Tallahassee Web Design Service?

Tallahassee is a fairly small town and I want to help small businesses get their businesses established on the internet. My website http://www.webdesignfl.us has portfolios, tips and tricks on establishing an internet presence. The only thing is that Im not too sure what parts of Tallahassee to penetrate when marketing my web design service. If anyone knows of any local businesses that need web design I am the cheapest in town. I know once people find out about my service they will definitely be interested. Im just not sure who I should talk to or where I should market my services locally. For affordable Web Design in Tallahassee I would like people to call me at 850-364-3521. I need help spreading the word to Tallahassee residents and Im even offering a $50 referral pay out for all clients people send my way. Just how to spread the word in Tallahassee…. that is the question.

Administrator answers:

Hi,

Have you optimized your current website for search terms such as:

Tallahassee Web design
Tallahassee Website design
Tallahassee Web developer

If not, I would focus on this as a great starting point. Also, I would create a FaceBook fan page for your business and start adding local Tallahassee friends. This will enable you to regularly market your services to your list.

If you are seriously motivated, also look into joining a local networking group such as BNI in your area. The referrals you will get from this group are impressive.

Thanks and good luck!

Do you think this is an affordable price for a LOGO?

I have started a logo design business. Logo Prices range from $9.99-$19.99. We are trying to offer affordable advertising for the small business owners as having your own logo is a great way to market yourself. Do you feel this ia a fair price for a design you can use over and over??
the website is itsyourlogo.webs.com
thanks for your imput
I should clarify that these are canadian dollars and I am directing my business to anyone in the world but primary US and CAN

Administrator answers:

That may be too low a price to attract business. You should see what others are charging for logos. My favorite place for that is 99 Designs. Browse through and see what people are paying.

Betty asks…

What’s a good website host?

Currently I have Yahoo Small Business, which I’ve been with for 3 years. They’re really good, except that they raised the price of their service. It started out as $9.99 month, then they raised it to $12.95 a month.

I’m looking for a cheaper host (doesn’t have to be for business) that offers a SiteBuilder program that can be downloaded onto the computer, so that I can design my website without being on the web. Yahoo Small Business has this feature, which I like. Is there a more affordable service that has this feature?

Administrator answers:

The best website maker is Webs (formerly Freewebs)
Easy to build, calander, security, Email List, Great Support, Photo Albums, Videos, Blogs, forums, games, apps, widgets, customizable HTML, 50mb upgradable to 80mb for free.
Templates and a members login and you can send messages to them and they can send messages between themselfes, and add them as friends. You can also send emails to all your members at one and you can do templates and a very easy site builder. Theres no need to learn HTML!
Honestly, I have built 4 websites, and they are absolutely fabulous!
You can also use your own templates

have a look at my non-profit for an example: http://www.eastrosevillescouts.com (i paid for the domain, but if you dont want to, you can have a www.[yoursite].webs.com)

You can put music on it too, in the background so it plays when someone visits the page

Joseph asks…

Suggestions for a good online website builder?

My small business already has a domain name; however, I need a website. I would like to create it myself. I have graphic art/photoshop experience, but no web design experience. I am considering using an online website builder in the meantime while I learn to create my own. Any suggestions for good quality, affordable sites that do this easily? I know of intuit.com, buildyoursite.com, etc. but have no experience with them. Also, since I already have a domain name, are there any sites that help you build a website using your existing domain name?

Administrator answers:

What kinda graphics do you have? If you have no HTML, CSS, etc expirence then you should just make a header and a few logos and move along.

If you have like the buttons, backgrounds, etc then I would get a pro to put it all together in HTML.

A good site for this is wetpaint if its strictly for your business.

Your Questions About Website Development Process

Sandra asks…

what is the website development process?

Administrator answers:

The following is a live example: ref at bottom

Website Development Process
Designing a website is a process, a process that we have mastered over the years. This allows us to do what we do best and allows you to do what you do best. As we move forward from a concept to design to a product you are in control.

Development ProcessInitial Consultation: During this initial consultation, we discuss your goals, expectations and the targeted audience. We also layout a road map of the entire process. We begin to collect your artwork, content, logos or any other graphics you may already have. If you prefer, we can design the graphics and logos for you. We also get you to fill out a questionnaire which helps us in understating your requirements.

Design Mockup: Once we have enough information to begin, two sample Homepages are created for your approval. A navigation map is also designed. We continue to work on these samples until we have your full approval. Once a Home page is approved, we design the sub-page samples and get approved.

Prototype: We will post the entire mock up web site for your private viewing. Prototypes include all graphics and text but allow for clients to make minor modifications. All pages will be fully navigable. Graphics will have been optimized for fast loading. Web pages will be designed to fit the typical users screen.

Site Testing: We will test the entire site in both Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers to ensure all components are working correctly. The web site will be available for your private viewing on our server. We will solicit your final approval before publishing your web site to the Internet.

Marketing: At no additional cost to you, we optimize all the web pages for search engines. For a small fee, we can also design banners for you.

Web site Maintenance: To keep your customers coming back, a site must be updated on a regular basis. This service is available on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or as needed basis, and can be purchased in advance with substantial savings. If you purchase our Web Solution, we maintain your site free of cost.

Search Engine Optimization: Everyone wants to be at the top of the search engines. It takes more than just registering your site once with the various search engines. It requires consistent updates to your keywords, meta tags, and text of your website and re-registration with the search engine. Also, Search engines change their methods of operation and how they rank sites.

Domain Name Registration: Once a site has been designed, you need a domain name. A domain name is your electronic address. It is the best way for people to find you. It is typically www.YourCompanyName.com either you can register it yourself, or we can register it for you. We charge $15 per domain per year.

Going Live: Now that you have a custom website designed, optimized for search engines and purchased a domain name, it is time to go live. Either we can host your site or you can host it with any one else – choice is yours.

Ken asks…

What’s the best web development process for a CMS website?

For creating online reservation systems and e-commerce websites i can easily reuse the wire-frame of a previous project, but for a Content Management System projects it seems like i have to start from scratch because i have to base the wireframe from the existing website of the client or from an approved homepage and inner pages design.

Do i just design the backend wireframe and leave it up to the developers to figure how it’s going to work in the Front end? Do i design a wireframe for both the BE and FE? Is the wireframe really supposed to be final before it goes to the development? Should you create the wireframe before the design?

What’s your take on this? Kindly advice me on how to go about this.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Administrator answers:

I would probably start from scratch with a new system and plug the old data in.

Helen asks…

i offer website design & development, can i have credit card processing on my website? how? any URL?

As a freelancer, i offer website design and development on top of my normal job, however, I want my customers to be able to transact payments using their credit cards. Also, I’m a non-US country? How do I set this up? and What would be the requirements? Any URLs? Thanks in advance.

Administrator answers:

For domestic US business (the merchant will be processing US based cards, ship from the US, and has their banking based in the US), you have a huge variety of payment gateways which will either have a built in shopping cart or integrate to the majority of the 3rd party shopping carts. For NON-US based operations the details and arrangements and risk are MUCH higher – and usually specific to the country.

In any case, the ‘gateway’ must be certified by the Processing Bank (acquierer). Internet searches and even a few phone calls should narrow down the field drastically based on country.

In the US I can make several suggestion – here you will receive a residual income for the accounts you put on the books.

Michael asks…

What is the process for designing a social networking website?

I’m a grad student and two professors have approached me about being the project lead on developing a social-network platform. They’re wanting to use it to create survey’s via a collaborative community; and I’m curious if anyone knows any best practices for developing such a site, and the time/cost factors that goes into it. I’ve started looking into development via a LAMP platform, and think that we will use dedicated servers at first. Could anyone recommend starting points, perhaps based on own research or experience? Thanks!

Administrator answers:

Hi! I have designed such a website in my college days.
The first step is to decide on the database schema – number of tables, relations, where to store messages, how to optimize accessing them, etc. Because a lot of users are going to use daily.
- make calculations how many users u are expecting.
- how many messages will they be sending everyday
- how to store these messages, relations for storing friends lists etc.

After databse, give emphasis on menu(navigation). If u use orkut, myspace etc, u know which are the most used links. Put such links on every page on most visible side. Like horizontal top OR vertical left. They should be more visible.

Then decide on the programming language. I used ASP.NET. Use any of them. It doesnt matter.

Again, put emphasis on SQL queries to optimize them. Because in these site, data increases significantly. Wrong queries can delay the whole process.

The graphics should be spicy and lesser in size. Make use of same graphics everywhere to speed loading time.

I guess u now need to see some such sites on net and start with the steps above.

Best of Luck.

Attractive, Affordable Website Design To Boost Online Business

Aug10
2011

Written by Administrator

Article by Stella Carter

Affordable Website Design

Internet marketing is a popular present-day tool for running any business, small or big. Successful internet marketing depends largely on the design, attractiveness, and ranking of the business website on the search engines. In order to achieve this objective, the first step is to get an affordable website design from an experienced online design agency. There are many agencies on the internet that offer these services, but it is essential to find one that can create a website with SEO and the target audience in mind. Moreover, since the business is just starting up, there is need to economize on all fronts including the cost of website designing.Essential Requirements Of A Successful Website Design

Website Appearance

The first requirement of an effective and affordable website design is that it should cater to the tastes of its target audience, especially with regard to their age group, products or services that are on offer, the geographical zone of the audience, and competition from others. The design should be attractive in the sense that anybody browsing the internet should be lured by its looks and would visit it to find what he needs. However, an expert web design company knows that too many decorations and color without any worthwhile content would put off the visitor. Moreover, the Los Angeles website design should be simple and user friendly so that the visitor does not get frustrated at its complexities and stays on the site.

Website Content

The first thing that a visitor to any site would look for is the content, especially with regard to the products or services being promoted by it. The content has to be informative and specially designed to answer any queries that a visitor might have regarding the product.

SEO Considerations

However well a website may be designed, it will be of no use if it is lost in the ocean of millions of websites, and the person looking for a specific product or services is not able to spot it. The affordable website design should be such that it will make the website conspicuous on the internet, and the only way to do it is to employ search engine optimization techniques in its design so that Google and other search engines give them a good ranking for the keywords that best describe the product.

The important tools that are employed by an affordable design agency for search engine optimization include article marketing and link building, which are essential for boosting the ranking of the website. With these techniques, the web front that will be built by the agency will attract more traffic towards the website.

E-commerce-Friendly Affordable Website Design

Along with other search engine optimization techniques, it is essential for the affordable website design agency to ensure that the visitor gets a convenient shopping experience when he lands on the site. The visitor who has decided to buy the product from the website should not be frustrated by difficult navigation from selection to purchase and shipping on the website. As such, the affordable website design should ensure that navigation throughout the website is convenient for the visitor. The whole impact of the design should be such that the visitor is tempted to stay on the site and not go away to another site.

Online business can succeed only if the affordable website design can make the site attractive and high up on the search engine rankings. It should be user friendly and easy to navigate.

Dynamics GP and SAP Business One eCommerce integration options

2011 Leave a Comment

Article by Andrew Karasev

eCommerce

ERP and ecommerce system integration is probably important question for established ecommerce operations as well as for those who are in startup mode. It is perfect situation if you find appropriate Corporate ERP software, where ecommerce is working out of the same tables as core ERP Sales Order Processing, Inventory Control with Price Lists. However, this might be good hope for the future, real life shows the pattern, where ecommerce store deploys unique business logic and pricing schemas – and in order to implement these rules you often have to either do custom ecommerce web development or pick very generic and powerful ecommerce web stores (which may not be necessary integrated with major Small and midsize business Corporate ERP packages). In this small article we would like to draw the picture in the case of deploying and implementing SAP Business One or Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics:

1. eCommerce extensions. If you do not have existing ecommerce website in production, then for both SB1 and GP, please look for ecommerce extensions. For Dynamics GP look at GP Business Portal Order Management module. For SBO review its ecommerce module. There are ecommerce add-ons on the ISV products market for both ERP, out of scope here. Regarding BP and SB1 ecommerce module, please see presentation and be sure that it fits your requirements at least 95%, as you may find the solution to be too difficult to customize. If you find your case resolved, we are happy for you, for the rest of us, let’s go to the next paragraph

2. Real time versus Batch mode integration. Now, you are trying to find reasonably priced integration technology, allowing you to export ecommerce documents: invoices, sales orders, price lists into your new ERP and potentially integrate back to ecommerce document status from the ERP. You may decide to start in your pilot mode with Batch mode integration, where you initiate data synchronization by calling user friendly integration tool. In the case of SB1 you can deploy Data Transfer Workbench with Advanced ODBC Sources and Dynamics GP has Integration Manager module. Real time integration, as you could expect requires custom programming, in the case of SB1 it is SAP Business One SDK coding, and in GP it is eConnect. Both eConnect and SB1 SDK could be a way to go if you need very advanced custom ecommerce integration, especially when you are large company and can afford ecommerce to ERP integration budget

3. Document Status export back to ecommerce. Here in simple and inexpensive scenario you read Dynamics GP tables: SOP10100, SOP10200, or in SB1: OINV or INV1. In both cases, please review Dynamics GP or SAP Business One SDK help documentation, where you can review table structure. How you update statuses in eCommerce, please review your ecommerce application documentation, or talk to your in-house ecommerce programmers

4. Documents posting in accounting application. In SAP B1, when you add Invoice – it automatically posts itself all the way through General Ledger, so posting is available to SB1 SDK developer. In Dynamics GP, in contrast you have more flexibility in batch reviewing and approving, however this flexibility blocks you from posting GP SOP batches directly from eConnect methods, as Batch and Transaction Posting is in GP user competence and eConnect can only create so-called Work documents and place them into the Batch. To offer you work around for eConnect ecommerce programmer we created Alba Spectrum Posting Server, where you place batch into queue table and Autopost launches posting process automatically

5. Master Slave scenario. You should decide if your Corporate ERP (Dynamics GP or SAP Business One) should become Master in entering initial Inventory Items, Price Lists, Promotion Campaign, etc. and then uploading these objects to ecommerce or this role is for your ecommerce application – then SB1 is Slave and ecommerce is sort of Master. This decision should orient you in strategy and potentially avoid long decision making IT meetings. Normally, for the Master application you should have very high level of comfort in technical knowledge and be confident in its future, as Slave role is less critical and maybe in the future remapped to something else

6. How to get help? Please call us 1-866-528-0577, internationally: 1-630-961-5918, or email us: help@albaspectrum.com. We are also comfortable to help you if you are international client, we speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Chinese. SB1 is localized for numerous countries and it supports Unicode (Chinese, Japanese, Korean hieroglyphs).
