easy for customers to find company’s online shop from search engines

               and from company’s home page.


                       It is very important to keep the information (especially prices) up to

               date on company’s online shop. Use of images can be a great help and

               companies  should  use  accurate  images  to  represent  their  products.

               Companies should treat customer service with the same importance as

               they  would  for  a  traditional  shop.  Orders  should  be  confirmed


               immediately by email and customers should be advised if there are any

               delays  with  their  orders.  The  ordering  process  should  preferably  be

               automated. Companies should provide contact details for customers and

               respond quickly to enquiries and complaints.




                       CREATING A BUSINESS WEBSITE: THE STEPS

                       Most  customers  will  expect  to  be  able  to  find  a  business  on  the

               internet. Whether a company is selling products online, or simply want to

               provide some information about its business and contact details, having a


               website is almost essential. Companies should think about what they hope

               to  achieve  with  their  website  before  start  creating  one.  Researching

               competitors' websites can help companies get a clear idea of what may

               work best for them.


                       To create a website, companies need to follow some basic steps as

               described below.
