 Don't know how to make an e-commerce website from scratch? We've got you covered!

1. Introduction :

Can you imagine starting an e-commerce business without first learning how to make an e-commerce website from scratch? It’s like buying an airplane ticket to the other side of the world, but not knowing how to fly or use Google Maps. You may arrive at your destination, but probably not in one piece! Before you start an e-commerce business, it’s important to learn how to create an e-commerce website from scratch — otherwise, you may find yourself heading down a long and winding road with nowhere to turn around.

2. The Basic Requirements

Before you get started, your business will need to meet three basic requirements. First, a company name and logo. Second, a domain name. Third, web hosting for your site. If you don’t have time or skills for any of that stuff, however, don’t worry—Shopify is here to help with its new Starter Plan (powered by Shopify Plus). With Starter Kit enabled on your store, setup takes just 10 minutes and offers unlimited bandwidth and storage—so there are no limits on how many products or visitors can access your store during its launch period.

3. The Necessary Set-up for Your Website

Before you can start selling products, there are a few things that need to be set up on your web store. Luckily, we have some tips for getting your site ready. These may seem like easy steps, but trust us – they’re necessary. First and foremost, be sure to take care of these three essentials before starting: 1) Sign up for a domain name. 2) Create a Shopify store with a theme or use someone else’s site as inspiration for your own look and feel. 3) Choose security software (we like SSL2BUY!) that will protect personal information in case of data breaches or cyber-attacks.

4. Getting Your Representation Off There in the Online World

If you’re going to create a new store, your first job is to make sure your brand can be found on Google. You’ll have a much easier time if there are pages related to your brand or products listed on search engines (more on that later). Start by adding information about your business online; register a domain name and create social media accounts. While it might take some time before people recognize you, a well-established online presence makes it more likely they will remember you when they want a product similar to the one you offer. As part of getting customers' attention, establishing yourself in places like Yelp and Foursquare can help consumers find local businesses.

5. What Type of Products Should You Sell on Your Site?

You have plenty of options when it comes to what type of products you should sell on your site. You can sell both physical and digital goods, or just one or the other. You can also decide which categories you want your store to fall into clothing, electronics, health, and beauty—the list goes on. But first, think about who your customers are and what they're interested in buying. Let's say that after doing some research, you realize that selling women's apparel would be a good fit for your site.

6. What Will Your Company Look Like On Social Media Platforms?

Don’t start building a social media presence for your company until you’ve figured out what that presence will look like. Facebook and Twitter both let businesses choose different types of pages, so keep in mind how your brand is positioned on each platform before filling out those fields. There are plenty of guides available if you need help nailing down these basics. For example, HubSpot offers a checklist of things to consider when choosing between individual or business accounts, which are recommended for most small businesses. You can find that guide here. Then check out our guide on choosing between Facebook's profiles and pages.

7. Creating A Strong Brand Identity

One of your biggest tasks as a new entrepreneur is choosing a name for your business and creating a strong brand identity. How do you want your probable customers to regard your label? What makes it stand out from others like it in its industry? These are all questions you need to consider. A great place to start is by examining other brands with similar offerings; see what works, see what doesn’t then use that knowledge moving forward when designing your own. When people think of 'XYZ,' they're going to be thinking about how cool and useful it is, not how complicated it is or how much effort they have to put into using it or maintaining it.
