I been pretty busy the last few days work on Rob’s Treasure Chest main web site. I didn’t really like the way the banner and the theme look using the office live templetes that they off. But then what can you expect for something free right. Still Office live is a good way to start a web site. And the Office live basic is free. I went ahead and upgraded it to the Office Live Essentials it had more storage space and more bandwith. Since I didn’t like the way the web site look I search around in the Office live community for some feed back and some tips on making a better web page. I fine this one site call Office Live Customizer that was a big help. I use it to change the banner and the background color of the page and the navigation section of the web pages. Alone with changing the layout I all so added a bunch of new pages to some of the catagoerys that i already had on my product list.
I still very new to those web designing stuff so it going slow. Trying to figure out all these html codes for the shopping carts and other feature has proven to be a time consuming thing. I am having a real big trouble with the images too. I try to make them smaller so the web page will load faster for people with slow modems but when i try to link them to a larger image it create a blue hyper text block around the image. I look around for some codes to get rid of them but when i try to use them it just put a big picture on the page again. So that not the way to go at all. I did find a html code for creating button links. But just thinking about having to go in and add button to all the images is going to be a big pain. But it will make the site look better so that what I am going to be doing for the next week or so until I get it done. Then I will start working on adding new items again.
Over 100 million people are members of eBay. Through eBay, you can buy items in almost any category that you can imagine – at great prices. You can also sell almost anything you can imagine on eBay – people often sell items that have absolutely no real value for very high prices. There are limits, however, to what can be bought and sold. eBay does not allow certain items to be auctioned through website. Services are one type of ‘item’ that cannot be auctioned – simply because it is not an item. Some seller’s blatantly ignore this however. The sell of other items is illegal, even if it isn’t being sold through eBay. eBay restricts the sale of any type of item that is considered ‘illegal for sale’ in any other selling format. Illegal items such as satellite descramblers are forbidden as well.Anything that is copyrighted - such as copies of DVDs, CDs, or software - may not be sold through eBay auctions. You can, however, sell a DVD, CD, or any software that you bought legitimately…as long as you are not just selling a copy that you made of these types of items. eBay does not allow the sale of ‘replicas.’ A replica is a knockoff version of designer items, such as purses, dresses, shoes, or sunglasses that look identical to those that have designer labels. Items that are regulated by the state or federal government are forbidden on eBay. These items include alcoholic beverages, weapons and firearms, all tobacco products, and both prescription and illegal drugs. There are small exceptions to this rule, however. If you have a collectable, such as a tin that contains tobacco, you may sell that item if the package has never been opened, and if you state the contents of the package are not meant for consumption. There are other conditions that must be met as well when selling these types of collectables.Any type or breed of animal or reptile may not be sold through an eBay auction. This includes animals that were once living, and are now stuffed and mounted. This rule may also apply to items that are taken from endangered species, such as Ivory. When it comes to these types of items, when in doubt, don’t.Tickets may be sold, but it is illegal to sell tickets for a higher price than you originally paid for them. This is called ticket scalping, and it is illegal. Lottery tickets are also banned from eBay auctions, as well as raffle tickets. Again, if you are not sure if your item is eligible for an eBay auction, either don’t put it up for auction, or contact eBay to get an answer one way or the other. Don’t risk breaking the law! tag: sell website
Whether you’re planning to build your first website or revise a current one, follow these tips to make the process easier: . Decide its purpose. Before you build a new website or modify your existing one, decide what role it will play in your marketing mix. Websites should be designed to achieve one of these three goals: To inform, to promote or to sell products and services. For example:
3. Traders flock to eBay.com to actually sell or buy products online. . Set a production schedule. A website is like a resume. you just keep adding things to it and making little adjustments. Therefore, it’s very easy to spend way too much time building your website to get it “perfect.”
. Work with a pro. Interview three qualified website developers or designers and ask for references. You’ll want to hire a firm with experience in building sites like the one you envision. Be sure there’s a personality fit as well. Ask the developer to prepare a Production Schedule outlining 1.e how he or she will construct your site between the project start date and your launch deadline. Add a blog. Blogs are the hottest thing on the Internet today. A blog is your very own easy-to-use mini-website, where you can easily post thoughts, information and interact with people. Your visitors can read the latest items. Your visitors can comment on what you’ve posted, link to it or email you. Visitors may sign up to receive your daily blog posts. Small business owners use their blogs for different purposes. You can create a blog to share advice, post news or link to your customers’ websites. Blogs can link to your website and help you build online traffic. Find out more about blogging at www.blogger.com, www.wordpress.org, www.typepad.com or www.blogware.com Help people to find it. A website is like a retail store - some people will stumble upon it, others need help finding it. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) wires your website into the world’s top search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN, so surfers can find your products or services. With billions of websites fighting for customer attention, an SEO expert could become one of the most important members of your small business team. An SEO expert understands the complicated world of meta tags, programming code, search strings and website rankings. Test your site. Smart restaurant owners hold a “soft” opening a week before their official opening to work out any operational kinks. The same principle applies to your website launch. Launching your brand new website just before a major marketing campaign can lead to disasters such as customers not being able to place orders, page crashes or dumped shopping carts. Hold off on any major marketing that draws attention to your new site until you know it is working flawlessly. Source : http://www.visa.ca/smallbusiness/articles/article.cfm?article=295&category=60
