Using the instructions from your textbook about items that should be on a good eCommerce site, use a free web creation tool such as weebly.com, to create your own eCommerce site. Come up with products or services to offer on your site. Include information about those products including prices. Your eCommerce site should have at least 5 tabs…such as Home, About Us, Products, Contact Us…and others. Be creative. Your site should look good and be informative for the viewer. Be sure to include a lot of text so the viewer will know about your company.
