E-Commerce - business online
You need to find some way to create a way to streamline a task, or an innovative way to present a message to the world. You know there are ways that technology could probably help, but you simply don't have time to research the solutions... and you don't have an IT department to fall back on either. You want your website to deliver a richer experience to your visitors so that they will keep coming back – or "remain engaged" - as the jargon goes! You want this, but you don't want to employ a full-time technician.
E-commerce and using technology creatively
It's common for website owners to want to start small, develop a regular stream of visitors ("traffic") and then for them to decide they want to create something new for their visitors. It could be something involving a login routine... capturing a visitor's data that you can use later to inform them of news stuff you want them to know about. Or maybe you want to run an online survey, or perhaps create a teaching tool for your staff.
It might also be that you want to start selling products or services online. If so, then you could have a lot of things to think about. Customer data management and security, stock control, invoicing and order handling... there's plenty to consider.
Things you'll need might include...
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) – ways to encrypt data that is sent across the internet such as credit card data or personal information.
- E-commerce software – an e-shopping basket.
- Create your own social media platform – a mini-Facebook of your own!
- User forum, newsletter signup, digital download function.
- User surveys.
