Small Business E-Commerce Are you a small business? We understand how frustrating it can be when the product your business is looking for costs more than you can afford. Do you want to sell products online and increase your businesses income? EndChapter Internet Marketing can help. We know some of the best kept secrets many web design companies won’t share, such as free open source shopping carts and content management systems. By keeping the expenses low, there is more room for companies like EndChapter to save you money on your web design projects. Let me explain in more detail.

There are many popular shopping cart systems, and all have their own pros and cons; however, not all businesses need the most complicated and expensive systems. You might be surprised to hear that some highly popular open source shopping carts are free to download, customize and use freely. If you plan on selling less than two-thousand products, we recommend Joomla’s content management system, and Virtuemart extensions. VirtueMart offers a lot of features. You can extend the functionality of Joomla and VirtueMart using Plugins, Components, Templates and Modules to make them do what you need! Moreover, there is a lot of tutorials and forums where you can teach yourself virtually anything.

That sounds all well and good, but the truth is there is a huge cost after all – TIME. It takes a website professional on average 40-80 hours to complete a nicely designed and fully functioning e-commerce website. If you are just beginning, the time-frame to complete a successful online shopping cart will probably be much larger. This is why you should consider hiring a web design company like EndChapter to help you get setup. They will setup and design your website, your shopping cart, upload your products, and submit your product via feeds to major search engines for shopping results. i.e., Google Shopping.

If you decide to use EndChapter for your small business shopping website, you can rest assured you will be well taken care of. Whatever your budget, we have the right tools and professionals to get the project done on time, and professionally. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your success. And of course, don't forget to tell your friends!
