Have you ever thought about creating your own online store? If yes, then this article is meant for you!


"An online store is a place where you can sell your services and goods to customers online, in a convenient and simple way."


The need for online stores has grown dramatically in recent years, and more and more people are choosing to shop directly online at a time and place convenient for them, thus saving them a lot of time (and money).


First, choose the products you want to sell and in which sector, then choose a suitable name for your brand and register your domain on that name.


In order to start selling your goods or services online, you need to choose one of the e-commerce platforms you want to use, the most popular are WooCommerce, OpenCart (we are the only ones in Latvia that offer a Latvian language package for the latest versions of OpenCart - starting from version 3), Shopify, 3dCart, Magento, Zyro and BigCommerce, but they are not the only ones.


Once you have chosen your e-commerce platform, you need to configure and adapt it to your brand, change colours, fonts, images, layout, add goods/products, choose the payment and delivery methods, etc. This process is quite time-consuming. If it seems too complicated for you or you don't have time, someone can do this for you! We also offer this type of service. 


If you choose to have someone do this for you, it's worth remembering that the last stage of the online shop development is where the biggest delay is because then you can see the big picture, which you might not like, and then you have to change things around again. This can take weeks, so you need to plan for this early (or have an evident vision of how you see your online store from the start).



The next step is to promote your shop and products when the store is ready. You can use social networks, paid advertising on the internet and print media. However, if you have a limited budget for this, it is best to use social networks because they are free. You can start doing this before it (the online store) is entirely ready to prepare your audience for this, and the first day of the store's launch will be successful (with many purchases).
