I am going to write some posts about my experiense in opening of a webshop.
Sorry for my English but I am not an English native person and I will be appresiate if you let me know about mistakes in my post.
Now about subject:
I decided to open a webshop. For choosing I analysed different free software and software with cost not more than 400$. Criterion for analizing were:
1. cost of software
2. possibility to integrate payment system
3. HelpDesk service for software
4. possibility to order the deployment of software to hosting from software developer
5. availability of forum for software
6. possibility to show one commodity in different categories
7. possibility to track inventory of goods and receive notification about low stock situation automatically
Like a result I choose the software for money. It costs for me 154$ for main license and three additional modules according to criterion above. I am not going to advertise the particular software and practically it is not important which software I deployed.
The main mistake for choosing was my total unavailability to make any actions for site SEO (Search Engine Optimization). And I missed the next list of requirement for software which can be very important for SEO:
1. Possibility to place news to the site – it is very important for regular updating site. Search engines like regularly updating sites
2. Possibility to show optional HTML pages to the site for some articles. Some interesting articles can help in SEO very much
3. Sitemap generation by webshop software. It could be not so easy to prepare sitemap file for Google if you are beginner in SEO. Of cause you can use external software sitemap generator or online service. But, will be mach easier to generate sitemap file by your webshop software.
Please write if you have any questions, comments or ideas.
Thank you.
