CMS and E-commerce

Testing

Testing your Web site isn’t a one-time, standalone step, but rather something you’ll need to do often. You cannot test your site too much! Unfortunately, it’s hard for the site developer to perform a truly good test of the site: He or she
created it, so he or she knows how it should work and uses it accordingly.

A better test is what happens when your family, coworkers, and annoying friends give the site a whirl. And I specify the annoying friends, because they’re the ones who will attempt to do things you never would have imagined. When these people, who aren’t Web developers themselves, purposefully or accidentally misuse the site, what happens? From these experiences you can improve the user interface and security of the whole application.

Database and Programming Design

Continuing our last articles about Basic development design, lets have a look at database design and programming design in this article.

Designing the database is a key step, largely because changes to the database at a later date have far larger implications and potential complications than changing any other aspect of the site. Adding functionality through database changes is a steep challenge and fixing database flaws is excruciating, so make every effort you can to get the database design right the first time.

Basic Development Process

Now its time to take a look at development process. Basic development process consist of planning, design, programming, testing, publishing, maintaining and improving process.

The development process occurs in phases. If each phase is approached deliberately and the end results are properly generated, you’ll develop a great e-commerce site as effi ciently as possible. If, on the other hand, you jump around, rush the process, skip steps, and make omissions, the whole procedure will take much longer, and the end result will be buggier.

Things you should know before using payment system

In our previous articles two payment system (payment processor and payment gateway) have been described. But if you’ra asking me which one is the best, then the answer is depends on the objective of your e-commerce and off course the budget.

Payment gateway consider more more professional and ought to be your solution for all but the simplest e-commerce sites. But payment processors are quite commonly used and do make sense for some businesses, so don’t dismiss them as an option entirely.

Payment Gateway System

As our promise, this articles will be describing about payment gateway, another payment system you could consider when building a reliable e-commerce.

A payment gateway is a real-time payment system that can be directly integrated into your own site, resulting in a process that’s more professional and seamless. Instead of sending the user away, in the hopes they come back, transaction data will be transmitted behind the scenes and the customer won’t leave your site at any point in the entire process.
