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.

Payment System

As with your choice of a Web-hosting company, the payment system you use for your e-commerce site will have a significant impact on the end result. This is not to say that the site will be married to a single payment system for eternity, but as with any divorce, ending a relationship with a payment system can be tedious and costly for your business.

There are two broad types of payment systems, which are frequently known by a variety of names but can be described as either a payment processor or a payment gateway.

Which web technologies to use?

The goals and the possibles issues you already known, now its time to the next step, which is choosing web technologies such as coding, etc. The world have changed, and the popular web technologies as well, previously we have html ((HyperText Markup Language). then PHP, also CSS, CMS, etc, those might be confusing for you.

Also we could create a basic e-commerce online site easily from major company such as Yahoo!, Google, and others provide. By answering some questions and using their interface, you can create a basic e-commerce site in a day. It’ll even be tied automatically into a payment system. But make no mistake: Although you’ll get up and running in no time, the end result will be rather amateurish and very limited.

CMS and E-commerce

As the first articles, I’ll try to describe about CMS and E-commerce. CMS which is stand for Content Management System, is a free web source that we could found on the internet. Although at the beginning some people doubt it, especially for its security and compatibility, but till know web masters like to use it.

The reasons are simple, cause its free, easy to modify, and doesn’t need to start it from a scratch. How about E-commerce, an electronic commercial system which are use as electronic shopping, are became trends as well as the internet usage kept on increasing each years.
