About

This demonstration storefront displays just a small part of the system’s functionality. The appearance of your storefront is personalized to suit the character of your business. Virtually everything you see can be customized including colours, fonts, page layout and of course the graphics.

We chose to feature cleaning products and supplies for commercial and residential customers. The storefront is equally suitable for businesses that sell “soft items” such as digital music & books and virtual products such as memberships.

The store catalogue supports hundreds, even thousands of items. The more merchandise you have, the more important it is to design your catalogue properly.

Setting up and operating an on-line business is similar to operating a bricks-and-mortar retail storefront with some important differences. Unlike most businesses, your Internet business can be open 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year and can operate without employees many of those hours. Since you can’t personally greet customers as they enter your store, your web store needs to do that for you and make customers want to stop, browse and make a purchase.

Launching a New Business

The Internet provides the fastest and least expense way to launch a new business or dramatically increase the potential customer base of your existing business. Got a hot new product you want to sell to the masses? How about the world’s best selection of widgets? The following are some advantages that an Internet business has when compared to a physical retail store.

• Lower startup costs
• Lower operating costs
• Shorter startup time
• Virtually unlimited marketplace
• Smaller physical inventory
• “Niche” marketing opportunities

If that’s not enough reasons, consider that the Internet economy is growing at double-digit rates annually. More and more people are using the Internet to shop for everything from hats to houses.
