Things to consider when selling your products online:

• Product Line
  Why would someone shop on YOUR site versus a competitor?
• Great Content
  If you are not great with a camera and don't have basic photo editing software, consider a professional to photograph and edit your photos. Although high resolution images are not neeeded for the web, it's much easier working with higher resolution (quality) photos from the start. Plus, if you later decide to have a brochure or catalog, you'll need the high resolution images for print. In addition to great photos, you'll need great product descriptions. Tell the customers what is special about your products and be sure to include customer reviews.
• Security
  Even if someone absolutely falls in love with your products, if they don't feel safe orering from your site, they will abandon their cart. Protecting against online fraud and reassuring your customers that their information is safe with you can be achieved with informational pages such as payment, shipping, returns and policies. Sensitive customer information such as address, phone numbers, email address, and credit card information needs to be protected. We require our clients purchase a Secure Certificate (SSL) to protect customer information.
