Jewelry Website Resources

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

• 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.



• LunarPages -

  LunarPages is another excellent webhost for jewelry websites.

  It includes the super-easy CoffeeCup 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.

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


• 2checkout - Enables you to accept payments online via credit card, debit card, and also PayPal. It's easy to use and comes with its own shopping cart, or you can use it with many other carts.

• 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 allows payment via email. 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 feel more secure paying for online purchases with PayPal than with their credit card, 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.



• ProPay -

  You can also process your website's credit card orders manually with ProPay. ProPay is most often used for offline credit card sales at shows and home parties (which is how I use it), but you can also use it to enter and process your website credit card payments by hand.
