 eCommerce
Step 1: Establish Look and Feel
Portland Web Development offers custom web design with layouts geared towards ecommerce development. The most effective way to control design costs is to choose from Portland Web Development's pre made web site templates. These templates are far more advanced than what you will find anywhere else on the internet and are sure to place your ecommerce shopping cart far above your competition.
Step 2: Content Integration
If you've chosen a template for your ecommerce site(most cost effective), we will need to insert all your verbiage, logo, as well as other company information and policies. (home, about us, contact us, shipping terms, etc.)
Design Process complete, that's it!
Step 3: Shopping Cart Integration
Now that you have your ecommerce site all squared away, all we need to do now is "drop in"  your shopping cart software. You will need to provide us with asimple spreadsheet of your inventory with the necessary details (price, name, description, weight), so we can input that information into your the database of your shopping cart. (You will be able to fully edit your product information from the administration panel included in your shopping cart).
Step 4: Shipping Logistics
Which shipping company do you use? UPS, USPS, FedEx? Each of these shipping companies has an online shipping quote system setup for small businesses just like yours! If you already have "flat-rate" shipping fees that work for your business, those can be integrated as well.
Step 5: Online Payment Processing
The last step is setting up your online store to connect and send money through a  new or existing Debit/Credit merchant account. Since every business accepts different Debit/Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.), this final step provides the one-way link that gets money from your web site to your bank account.
