Today we are discussing using your website as a sales platform for products. By now, almost everyone has used an online store, an ecommerce store, at one point or another. Buying products online is a great thing. Because of the increased competition, you can normally find what you are looking for online for less money than you can locally. Also, many times, you are not required to pay sales tax on purchases made online. This is huge when buying big ticket items like the Nikon D700 camera I bought last week. For all of these reasons and more, customers are shopping online more and more. You need to get in on that market.

Using your website to sell your products doesn’t have to be a daunting experience. As a matter of fact, if you are working with the right company, like Nealon Web Designs, who is experienced in developing ecommerce websites, the process can be quite painless. Over the years, we have built many ecommerce websites. We know what retailers are looking for in their website. What we did is take that knowledge and build an ecommerce solution that can be fitted for any business, selling any product.

The most important part of our system is the Insert Inventory Form. This is the form that allows you to add products to your website. Every business is different so we have made this form very flexible. You can put any information you want online, and we configure the form to support what you need. If you look below, you can see an example of the form that is used for a website for White Water Adventurers. They use their site to sell t-shirts and other souvenirs from Ohiopyle.

As we stated before, this form can be modified to include anything you need for your business and your products. It saves all of your products to the database that runs your website. This allows your website to look through the database and pull from it products that people happen to be looking for. If you are interested in how it all works, just Contact us through our website.

Why Sell Online

When you sell your products online, you are exposing those products to a never ending stream of people. When you are selling in your store, you are limited to the number of people who happened to walk through your door. Online, the world is your customer base. You can sell to everyone in the United States, or world-wide, if that is your goal.

The other benefit to selling online is that your website never closes. While your store may only be able to sell from 9-5, your website can sell 24/7.

If you are interested in selling your products on a website, contact the ecommerce specialists at Nealon Web Designs.

So, over the next two weeks, we are going to be posting reasons and examples about why your business needs a website. Our goal is to give those individuals the extra comfort they need, so they can finally get off of that fence. After all, fences weren’t meant to be sit upon!

Reason Number One: Promote Your Business

The year is now 2009. When people go looking for a service, for a product, more times than not, they are going to look online. The first stop for these individuals is almost always a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. They type in what they are looking for, let us pretend they are looking for a Construction Company to build an addition to their house. So, they type in, ‘Construction Companies in Pittsburgh’. They find you, right? They don’t? Who are they finding, your competition? That cannot be a good thing. Having a web site gives you the opportunity to put your business right in front of individuals looking for what you have to offer. In order for your business to thrive, you need customers. Without an online presence, you are being passed up by hundreds of potential customers looking for what it is you offer. They just happen to find your competitors first, not a good thing.

Why Should Customers Choose You?

Having a website also gives you the ability to show those potential customers why they need to choose you, why they need to spend their money with you. Let’s use the construction company example again. When someone comes to your website, needing construction work, what could you place on your site that speaks to them and says, “I need this company to build my addition!” ?

First off, a website gives you the ability to tell your customer the story of your company. You can list your credentials and expertise. You can show potential customers the testimonials of your past customers who were extremely happy with choosing your company. All of these things start to break down the barriers that stand between that customer looking at your site and that customer contacting you, which is our goal. In addition to written word, you can also place pictures of your work on your site. Showing a potential customer previous work is a huge benefit, a benefit you cannot get any other way, without spending tens of thousands for television productions.

Promote Your Services and Products

Every business is selling something. Be it a product or a service, your goal is to inspire a transaction that puts money in your bank account. Your website should promote all of the services or products your business offers. Back to our construction example. Do you pave driveways, maybe you only do roofing? To properly promote all of your services and/or products, a website is the only solution that makes sense. A website allows you to showcase that product or service, display pictures of it, give examples and success stories of how your product or service helped your previous customers, and much more.

Promote, Promote, Promote, Promote

The bottom line is that having a website will allow you to promote your business in ways not possible with aging methods such as a Yellow Page Ad or direct mailing campaigns. Every business needs a website. Eventually, like it or not, in order to thrive, your WILL NEED a website. So, are you going to do it now, or wait until your competition dominates the Internet?

To help meet this demand, Nealon Web Designs started developing our own Content Management System (CMS) that would allow our clients to log in to their websites and make changes themselves. This was a huge hit with not only our current clients, but also allowed us to obtain new clients that found the idea of editing their own website very intriguing. Now, don’t get me wrong, even two years ago a CMS wasn’t anything new. They have been around for some time. However, we were the first web design company in the Pittsburgh area to offer it as a service.

Over the past two years, thanks to feedback from our clients, we have made many improvements to our Content Management System. Some of these changes include:

• A control panel where you can see all of the changes you have made to your site..ever
• The ability to revert back to previous versions of your web site
• The ability for you to add users to your CMS, then tell the system which pages they are allowed to edit.
• …and much more!

Take Back Control Of Your Website!

As some of you know, I (Tim) am a huge fan of reptiles and have kept many species for many years. I am particularly found of boas and pythons. So, we decided to start a division of Nealon Web Designs that builds web sites specifically for that industry. Of course we still build web sites for all industries, we just thought this would be a fun and unique way to target people in the reptile industry while still allowing us to give the same support and dedication to our core clients.

 Cold Blooded Designs can be visited at www.coldbloodeddesigns.com. They specialize in making web sites for reptile breeders, pet stores and wholesalers.
