Having a quality ecommerce website that’s easy to use can draw  

more customers then attempting to sell products the old-fashioned  

way in person or through other communication methods. There 

are costs associated with an online storefront, such as hosting and 

development, but many ecommerce stores are now built on CMS 

(content management system) platforms that are easy to learn. 

“Even though it takes significant effort to  

get an ecommerce store up and running,  

the benefits far outweigh the cost for most 

types of businesses”

There are several different ecommerce website platforms available 

today that make building your own ecommerce site incredibly  

easy. The easiest (and best-known) is probably Shopify, as it  

has a simple checkout experience for customers and offers 

many layouts for business owners to choose from. Because the 

platform is so large, there are also different options available to 

owners, such as custom design services or enhanced checkout 

experiences.
