Web presence today is an important aspect of any business. The benefits of having your business on the World Wide Web is limitless but some website owners experience difficulties in dealing with their competition. One of the best ways  in dealing with competition with your online business is  to scout on other businesses especially your direct competition.  Many entrepreneurs start creating their web presence by focusing on what they want rather than focusing on how the end- users or their target audience sees their website or products and services then creating a website for them.

Here are some of the business killers for your website that you need to know in order to be successful with your online web presence and marketing campaign.  These things are not that complex and technical that most business owners have difficulty in understanding. These are basic things that often entrepreneurs  neglect for they are only simple and basic things. In fact, basic things are the foundation in every success. These are a few of the common misconceptions in website design and development practices.

1. Customers do not mind a cheap- looking website.

The first impression of  your user to your website is also the impression that they apply to your business. Remember, your a company website represents the brand of your organisation and it provides the users the impression of the quality, credibility and professionalism to your brand.  By ensuring your website has an organised architecture is one way in leaving a good impression of your brand or business to your target users. Your brand or logo should be clearly presented. Have your site’s navigation simple and easy to use.  Make sure also that your users can easily access areas of your sites.

2. Build it and they will follow

In the World Wide Web today having a product is not enough. You need to take some effort to be in the race in SERPs.

Remember, competition are tougher today compared before.  The secret to be in the race on search engines is to ensure that you regularly update your website with unique and relevant content.  Actively promote your website to various online communities and promote your products and services.

3. Focus on your products and services

If you focus your website on your products and services rather than giving importance on delivering the benefits and satisfaction to your target market will create a distance on your relationship  between you and your target market or potential client. Remember, that the purpose of  your online business is to create a good relationship with your clients.

Zen Cart Vs CRE Loaded

Zen Cart and CRE Loaded are the two popular e-commerce software available today which is based on osCommerce system. The difference between the two software is not necessarily on the list of their features but rather how you treat these features and how they are beneficial to your business. Both applications are boosted with added features. They do both have the same essential functionality that one may need for a shopping cart system. Both are the disciples of osCommerce, and both are excellent storefronts that. They are an improved version of osCommerce.

CRE Loaded are available in three versions, it can be used for any virtual store fronts. The regular version is for free and it can be easily installed, it has the simple purchase- sale transactions. Another version of the CRE Loaded is the PRO Loaded version that includes the product attribute support with credit card encryption. The third and the last version is the CRE B2B, this version allows store- front to have a separate pricing level support that makes sales more organised and tracking them easier. CRE Loaded is similar to osCommerce, however it got additional features. One of the features it got is the Affiliate Manager. CRE Loaded has several modules that make browsing convenient such as NewsDesk, FAQdesk and the Wishlist. Thus, it is easier for you to get the latest sales information and easy to retrieve on site policy and a recorded wish list for those who register in your site while browsing and shopping. With its templating system installed it is easier for you to integrate into an existing template. CRE Loaded is one of the most stable osCommerce type of application since osCommerce is already installed. However, this can be also a disadvantage especially when there is a new osCommerce installation.

On the other hand, Zen Cart is also based on osCommerce application. Unlike CRE Loaded, Zen Cart has no contributions installed nor there anything that you can install directly from the osCommerce site. You need to convert the osCommerce to Zen Cart so that you can upload it. Some people may consider it as a disadvantage but yet it is just logical to have everything in Zen Cart. Zen Cart also has features such as product attributes manager, template system and htnl for regular web page contents that makes uploading easier and faster. And shoppers are also has an option for their credit card payments, and they do have a coupon code system too. However, with such features Zen Cart does not have the ability to import Excel sheets although it is available it takes a while to figure it out. Because its open-source it means there is no need for licensing fees, unless you need to import Excel product sheets.

If you are looking into a shopping- cart system you need to consider your needs. And you should consider that shopping cart allows you to gain more leads and it can be also an alternative income for you. With both shopping cart systems above, CRE Loaded has almost all the features your business needs and it favours both you and your customers.
