I work with my partner running a distribution company, mainly through phone sales. We have been offered to sell more products including laptops and pcs from another supplier. We are considering selling these online only. Does anybody have any advice? how many staff we'd need to run it etc. Is it very time consuming and would we need a web designer full time? Also any advice on taking payments and security checks would be great. Or is there a web site where I can get any information and help from.

you need to decide on web hosting first. The type of web hosting package you chose will determine how big your website is and how people navigate your on line shop. If you don't want to take on someone full time you could approach your local uni and ask for the names and contact details (or leave your own) of to or three recent graduates or third years that would be willing to do work on an, as and when you need them basis. You get fully trained help and the graduate gains experience.

You could try talking with your local SBDC. They can help you determine your business needs for a particular industry.
Web design by itself would be less useful than getting some professional help from an Internet Marketer who can advise you on SEO and other tactics from a broader perspective.
Yes, we do this kind of work and we are used as a resource by our local SBDC to help companies they refer to us.
