Jewelry Website Resources

Here are services I recommend for a successful jewelry business website:

1. Yahoo Web Hosting -

   There's a good reason why Yahoo Web Hosting has always been one of the most popular webhosts. It's one of the most reliable hosts on the Web, meaning that sites hosted on Yahoo are very rarely down for any reason.

   This host also provides a couple of different easy sitebuilding tools you can use - or you can choose to design and build your site with DreamWeaver, FrontPage, etc. and upload it to your Yahoo hosting account.

   An additional benefit is Yahoo's suite of simplified site management tools that take the techie learning curve out of starting a website.

   Yahoo is an excellent choice, especially for first-time website owners.



2. LunarPages -

   Another excellent webhost for jewelry websites.

   It includes a super-easy sitebuilding software for free, plus easy-to-use shopping cart options; traffic statistics; unlimited autoresponders; automatic backups of your website; server protection; a significant amount of disk space and bandwidth; free blogging tools including WordPress, so that your site has a built-in professional blog; highly rated technical support that's available via phone or online - and 99.9% uptime on average.

   LunarPages is extremely well suited for beginning as well as more advanced jewelry webmasters.

1. Google Checkout -

   Enables you to accept payments online via credit card and debit card; also offers a free, easy-to-use shopping cart utility.



2. ProPay with ProPay CartLite -

   When a customer completes their credit-card purchase on your website, you and the customer each receive a confirmation receipt via email.

   The customer's card is processed automatically with your ProPay account, and you see the funds immediately in your account. Has additional features for reports and shipping.

PayPal -

You can use PayPal as your site's only payment option, or as an additional payment option.

PayPal is a secure and increasingly popular form of online transaction that enables customers to pay via their PayPal balance, bank account, or credit card.

The PayPal website has a shopping cart you can easily add to your site if you'd like to accept PayPal only. You can also choose to add "buy now" buttons or links.

Because a lot of people prefer to pay for online purchases with PayPal, I recommend accepting PayPal in addition to whatever other payment forms you accept on your website.

PayPal is an easy option to start with when building your first jewelry website.
