Hi,, hoe long does it take to build a ecommerce site with a cms from by a programmer? I wanted to site to be done in 12 days but something said that’s not possible even with 4 people working on it BUT they said it can be done in 10 days using zen cart ???
What is better way to go ? Iam new to do, I just want to make the right choice…Thanks!!
This is a trick question cuz it all depends on how motivated and good they are. You should have used yahoo and done it yourself in about an hour (before adding products).
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel… use pre-existing tools. Go with Zen cart if they can do it faster.
It really depends on exactly the type of solution (how robust, features, etc..) you are looking for. If there is a lot of design involved, it could take longer. There are many carts on the market that will allow you to be up in as little as 5 minutes with a cms. I recommend that you take a look at Interspire shopping cart software: http://www.interspire.com/shoppingcart
As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
If you want to run a successful e-commerce you must choose a reliable web hosting service. The security of your business directly depends on the security of your hosting service. (Hacker safe)
