What distinguishes a website from an E-Commerce Website?
A website gives information about you, whatever subjects you choose, your business and possibly your product. An example would be a website advertising your high street shop – it may tell potential customers how to find your shop, what you sell, etc. It may tell your customers off-line options of how to buy your product/s. For example by phoning you or visiting your shop. It will have limited security features and be similar to a printed brochure about your business. If you want to be able to sell online, an E-Commerce website ( such as http://www.newberrysbakery.com ) is an extension of the basic website. It provides all of the required info while providing high-level security features by encrypting data, security in data transfer over secure servers, real-time sales online including order processing, order fulfilment and inventory control. It enables you to safely process credit card payments over the internet and to take orders online.
