Most people tend to believe that online stores are complicated to set up. That is a myth and this article will dispel that myth by taking you through the motions on how you can turn your personal website into an online store and start doing business.

Step #1
From the on-set you need to appreciate the fact that a business site should be professionally laid out. That means that there are some pages that are a must have. It would be in your best interest to include them as almost every other online store includes them. These pages are:

Page #1
Products / Services Page: This is the equivalent of a catalogue. It will showcase your full range of product portfolio, provide information on the product / services you are offering as well as the price.

Page #2
About Us: In a nut-shell, this page tells the story of your company. Whom you are, what you do, why you do what you do and other information that will help you gain the confidence and trust of your potential clients.

Page #3
Contact Us Page: Gaining the trust of someone whom you have never met is a tricky affair. Getting someone to trust you with sensitive information like their credit card details or money is even trickier.

Providing your complete contact details will inspire some confidence in buyers. List your email address, physical address and telephone contact on this page.

As a tip, include your hours of business. And throw in a site map too for good measure. Search Engines will love it and so will your potential clients.

There are many more pages that you can include on your online shop website, but no matter what other pages you choose to include be sure to include the three pages discussed above.

The next key step in the transformation is adding a shopping cart on your website. You will need special software to do this.

There are many software designed for this purpose. Research on the right software for you and if possible, test drive a few before you make your decision.
