Hi there,
I am planning to build my own ecommerce webiste where i can sell my products, I do know that I have to have a domain name plus hosting provider but before going on that bit where do i design my site? please mention if you have any good ones?
I heard that front page is no more good as it use to be, do you guys recommend me any other good ones in the market? I dont really know much about designing website but I heard that you dont really need a knowledge to build or design your site, is it true?
I find that html or hand coding ones to design the site are really hard as i dont have that much knowledge about it, but i would appriciate if someone reccomend me good software where I can build WYSIWYG (whate you see is what you get) ones. Which also has extara features of tables or rows like in most sites.
The other thing about the hosting is that, do you attract more people by expensive hosting or the way you design and by your price of product
thx 10pts gud ans!!

People are going to give you all sorts of information about creating a website, renting a domain name and webspace, buying an SSL certificate, using databases and server-side scripting, adding shopping carts and catalogs, securing the site, integrating a payment system, setting up a merchant account with a bank, registering your business, hiring a lawyer and accountant, dealing with shipping and customs BS... All sorts of crap that's necessary for online commerce.
I'm going to give you the best advice you'll ever get: sell your stuff on eBay. Seriously. There's a lot more to online commerce than "should I learn HTML or use FrontPage/DreamWeaver?", as that really is only the tip of the iceberg. Sure, projects like osCommerce are a quick and easy way to get a sales site going, but they are by no means an "online-store-in-a-box".
Setting up and running an online store is, for all legal and practical purposes, setting up and running a real business. Is this what you're prepared to do? I thought not. Get yourself a Paypal and eBay account and start hawking your wares. At best, you'll be up and selling stuff in minutes. At worst, you might have to start declaring it on your tax, and dealing with the odd loss due to morons on the internet (non-paying bidders, Paypal account problems, etc). But you'll thank me for it later.

If its a e commerce site then you will need to do a bit of programming... Dreamweaver is a better option... Visual studio is more advanced....
You can attract more people by advertising your product in the rite place.... Like people often go to google.com to search for the products you are going to sell... you can be a sponsered provider with google to be in the first page when any one searchs
All the best...

http://www.oscommerce.com
Solves every concern you have; free and open-source, plenty of community support, lots of free and pay modules to help your specific market segment.
Most professional designers use Dreamweaver. However, if you go with OSCommerce, it should pretty much do everything you need it to do, and it will have many skins / themes available you can use to customize your appearance.
For hosting, I am a huge fan of Dreamhost: http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?39484
For about $8 per month, you get everything you could possibly need for an e-commerce site, plus more.
