An Ecommerce Web Site Design can be as simple as a brochure with a phone number, or it can range all the way to a credit card processing site where customers can purchase products online. You must have a product or service to offer. The product can be anything from computer products to skin care products. You may get your products directly from a producer, or you might go through a wholesaler.

You must have the following elements to conduct an e-commerce solution:

• A product
• A place to sell the product - in the e-commerce case a website displays the products in some way and acts as the place
• A good website marketing strategy, this helps in gaining valuable business.
• A way to accept orders - normally a secure on-line form.
• A way to accept money - normally a merchant account is recommended to handle your credit card payments. This piece requires a SSL certificate ordering page and a connection to your merchant account.
• A fulfilment facility to ship products to customers (you could outsource this if you decide). In the case of software etc. a fulfilment can occur over the Web through a file download mechanism.
• A way to accept returns.
• A way to handle warrantee claims if necessary.

A way to provide customer service (often through email, on-line forms, on-line knowledge bases and FAQs, etc.) In addition, there is often a strong desire to integrate other business functions or practices into the e-commerce offering. An extremely simple example -- you might want to be able to show the customer the exact status of an order.
