In order to be able to sell products and services over the web, it's
necessary for a website to be designed with extra functions in mind. The
key ones you need to consider are
order forms,
shopping baskets and
databases.
If you have access, through your
ISP, to a secure
server, then you can take credit card orders directly through a form
on your website. If you advertise lists of products on your site, users can select items to buy directly, using a shopping basket. If
you have a central database of products or services you offer, then this
can be linked directly to your website, using
ASP.
Integrating
these three elements into your site will make it a powerful tool for
extending and servicing your customer base. I can offer design solutions
that incorporate JavaScript or
CGI-driven
forms, JavaScript shopping baskets, and ASP-driven database pages.
