Do you know what you are getting into?
You have to go into any e-commerce project with your eyes wide open; a well-constructed, properly planned and implemented e-commerce solution could be the making of your business. But if you haven’t thought it through properly an e-commerce solution can also cost you a lot of time and potentially money; this not meant to be negative, just honest.

If you are developing a non e-commerce website you will only really need to provide a few basic items of content:
- Some text, which you may have to write
- And some images
Once the site is completed and your content is added the website will be complete.
When you are building an e-commerce website there is a lot more for you the client to think about:
- Sourcing product data from the manufacturer
- How often will you need to update this
- What stock will you hold for each product
- What payment gateway will you use to process cards
- Do you need to get a merchant account
- How are you going to manage sales
- Where will you process and pack orders
- What shipping/delivery options can you offer
- Will these be processed by a third party
- Do your packages need to be signed for
- What is your returns policy
- Do you have a full set of Terms & Conditions
- Does your website comply with PCI DSS regulations
That is just a few of the things you may have to think about; so you can appreciate it can be confusing and just a little daunting, but it doesn’t need to be if you get the right people to help you.
