High Risk Merchants Black Book Guide on Building E-Commerce Websites
Building an e-commerce website -- what does it entail? Again, don't let me go into that harangue of telling you guys that this task is something only 21-year old eggheads in stiff white collars can do. You would either need a little of their help or search online for a reliable company that offers a package of services for high risk merchant account owners. And if you got lucky on the latter, you still would need to create a checklist on which elements you need to prioritize for your website. I'm talking about the bare bones. After you have decided on those, it's time to figure out whether to add some fancy stuff on your website or keep things simple.
So what elements should you consider added on your e-commerce website? If you've published a book before (not e-book, but if you want to go into that detail, see my article "Homemade Remedy for Download Theft"), most likely you'd already be familiar with the steps you need to take from the time you've conceived the story to the moment it's out in the bookstore shelves. Yes, you would need an endorsement from celebrities, too! Remember Harvey Mackay's "Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive"? Well yeah, that one's a classic.
Web copy, layout and other visuals, e-commerce elements, marketing elements, and customer service tools, are some of the basic stuff you need to incorporate in your e-commerce website. Each one of these elements come with its own set of structure that would also require a bit of search engine friendliness or better yet, full-blown SEO campaign.
THE WEB COPY
For your e-commerce website's copy, consider the number of pages. Major search engines such as Google usually favor more webpages but be careful about using Javascript or adding frames. The simpler the structure of your text pages are, the better. Do not forget adding basics such as "About Us" or product description pages. When it comes to adding extra content such as blogs and RSS news feeds, the more optimized for the search engines (using keywords, backlinks, etc.) the better. You would also need the help of a flexible database so that each time you add new product or text elements, the storage can be extended. Administration area for uploading text content should be user-friendly.
IMAGES AND FLASH CLIPS
Images are important for your e-commerce website but be selective in handling them. Look into how they will improve your catalog or shopping cart before you assign your web designer into building elaborate Flash intro pages, logos, or banners for affiliate programs or other online marketing campaigns. Image incorporation can be expensive. Worse, they are not often crawled by Google's spiders anyways. Also, the heavier the image files in your e-commerce website, the longer the loading time, the harder it is to retain customers who go by split second click-browse shopping method.
SHOPPING CART
Setting up the shopping cart itself requires the help of a good programmer but you can always make use of osCommerce. The important thing is that you are able to handle credit card payment processing with the aid of a low risk or a high risk merchant account provider. Your shopping cart has to be user-friendly enough to foster a good online shopping experience for your customers.
CUSTOMER SERVICE ADD-ONS
For a good discussion of customer service tools you need to add in your e-commerce website, see "7 Best Tools for First Rate Customer Service". The key here is to provide interactivity measures for your customers to learn more of their buying tendencies, suggestions for improvement, inquiries, and above all, a way to reach them via mailing lists! Shouldn't be complicated. When these foundations are built, you're all set to sail in the gritty world of e-commerce industry.

Don't Forget Your Eyes! The Importance of Sunglasses
Because of what we now know about skin cancer and its association with UV rays, sunglasses are essential not only on the beach, by the pool, or any other outdoor recreation, but also it is indicated that sunglasses are important all the time.
In the summer or winter, sunglasses must be a part of your daily attire to help fight off the dangerous UV rays of the sun from your eyes. It has also been recommended by physicians that one should wear sunscreen every day. Even if you are not in the sun more than a few minutes during the day, recent studies show that you can still be affected by dangerous UV rays if you do not protect yourself.
Here are some different styles of sunglasses that you and your family can choose from--so that you will have sunglasses as accessories you are proud to wear every day for your own protection.
* Celebrity sunglasses: wear sunglasses designed to look like those worn by John Lennon or Ozzie Osbourne.
* Driving sunglasses -have a pair of sunglasses you can keep in your car!
* Sunglass clip-ons--these sunglasses are designed to fit over your regular glasses, so you do not need prescription sunglasses
* Fun & Funky Styles--sunglasses come in all different styles--choose your sunglasses to fit your personality perfectly.
* Glitter Party sunglasses --fun for children and some, daring adults, these sunglasses are fun and shiny.
* Golf sunglasses--golf sunglasses will protect your eyes from every angle as you enjoy sunny days on the golf course.
* Kids sunglasses--kids sunglasses come in all different styles and colors, just like adult sunglasses do, but these childrens sunglasses often have trendy designs on them with Disney and other cartoon themes, like princesses, Winnie the Pooh characters and more.
* Matrix sunglasses--sport your sunglasses like neo or trinity. Need I say more?
* Mirrored sunglasses--hide your eyes--and when people look at you while wearing your mirrored sunglasses--they are really looking at themselves.
* Motorcycle sunglasses--for faceless helmets, or just for walking around looking like a biker--motorcycle sunglasses are important to protect you not only from the UV rays of the sun, but for protection against the wind.
* Oversized sunglasses - large frames are popular--are you a big-frame lover? There are sunglasses out there for both men and women who like to wear sunglasses with large frames.
* Polarized sunglasses--polarized sunglasses are perfect for fishing or boating etc. They take away the glare that some other types of sunglasses may have.
* Cop sunglasses--these sunglasses are popular if you are looking for a particular look--the cop look.
* Rhinestone sunglasses--daring and fun sunglasses! Wear Vegas-style/early 20th century style sunglasses for a unique look.
* Sport Wrap sunglasses--if you are a skier, snowboarder, or participant of any other sunny outdoor sports, these sunglasses are perfect for you! You will want your sunglasses to protect you from all angles, don't let the sun slip under the exposed sides of your sunglasses and blind you. Protect yourself with Sport wrap sunglasses.
* Super Dark sunglasses--fun and mysterious, these sunglasses are great and very much in style.
* Designer sunglasses--designer sunglasses are very popular and, of course, very expensive. However, if you want to look the best you possibly can in your sunglasses, usually a pair of designer sunglasses work best.
