Ecommerce Website for Business

Does dreamweaver supply any templates to use for creating an
ecommerce website for a business?
Is it even possible to use dreamweaver in this manner?
Any ideas, please let me know!

DW supplies some page layout templates. You can use them for
*any* layout.
It has the capacity to allow you to create an ecommerce
functionality,
either manually, or using one of the many 3rd-party plugins,
most notable
among which are eCart from WebAssist (
http://www.webassist.com) and
Cartweaver from ummm Cartweaver (
http://www,cartweaver.com).
But it does
not provide any such pre-coded functionality.

Setting up a business website for self and others

Hi,
I'm looking for information regarding using adobe muse to setup a website for an online store. Specifically, using it to setup a website for a friend or loved one.
My girlfriend is starting up a jewellery business and needs a website to sell her products online, rather than have her pay someone to do this I figured I could do it myself as I've been intending to purchase Muse for my own projects.
She needs all the typical features of an online store, can someone confirm this is achievable via adobe muse?
One point I'm quite uncertain of, is how I give her creative control so she can make changes and updates on her own? I know I can install muse on 2 computers, but was more interested in perhaps enabling her to update her website with her own muse account. So I would be developing the website initially, then once it's up and running I would like to show her how to manage it through her own 'copy' (if it were physical software) of muse, is this feasible?
Any help and detailed information would be great. I do apologise if this has been covered many times before, it seems like a basic question but I can't find any info in the FAQ etc.
Thanks

Hi _onz,
Something I did several years ago (before I had Muse) when my wife began her jewelry business was create a website in the traditional way (at that time using Fireworks and Dreamweaver), but rather than have people buying directly from her site, there was a link to her Etsy shop. She could personalize the Etsy shop as much as she wanted, add/subtract jewelry on the fly, etc.
There are some good e-commerce solutions out there. One that looks promising is Shoplocket. You can check it out here at MuseThemes.
To your point about a lack of quality tutorials, I somewhat agree. The ones Adobe provide, albeit free, are more hit and miss. I've had better luck at Lynda.com where they offer video courses on the various software. Of course, they're not free, but for $25/mo. I've gotten a lot of value from them.
Good luck!

How much do I charge to design a co-worker's website for a starter business?

I'm not a web-designer - I'm an architect (or will be). But I got into graphic design a little, and just recently web-design. To be honest, it all seems to be coming naturally, and I just finished recreating the company-site of the place I work, and my own portfolio-site...
Now - a coworker wants a website for a small business he's starting up. I want to help him, but don't have the time to volunteer my services. And neither of us wants to throw out a price offer, because we don't want to offend one another..
So what's reasonable? We're both fresh out of school with a mountain of student loans each - I need money, and he has little to spend.
1) do I charge hourly or as a flat-price?
2) how much is reasonable for: a simple 5-page (or so) design, with a flash intro, custom-animated flash buttons (as links), a slideshow, built-in contact page, and some photoshop work? Keep in mind - I'm still kind of new to all this, so it'll take me some time..
Anyways, thanks for any advice!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
ALWAYS charge by the hour, but give a reasonable estimate.
Interesting how different business models operate. I would say NEVER charge by the hour to quote for a project. No client wants that pricing upfront. It's OK for extras but as an initial quote it's the fastest way not to win work.
Always get a full, accurate scope of work and give a per project price.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
And as for doing jobs for friends, family or colleges, that's called networking, which is the primary way that independent contractors get business.
No-one said networking is bad. It's great, if you know what you're doing, what your time is worth, what you're capable of delivering, what the project entails and manage your clients well.
Working as a favour for friends and colleagues on a shoestring budget with no clear scope of work and a limited skillset is bad. That's what loses you friends.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
So to those of you who have been advising the poster not to take work from someone they know, what kind of slash-and-burn business tactics are you practicing?
Not sure how you arrive at such a ridiculous conclusion from this thread but see comments above.
To reiterate:
Networking is great - if you know what you're doing, what your time is worth, what the project entails and manage your clients well.
Working as a favour for friends and colleagues on a shoestring budget with no clear scope of work and a limited skillset is bad. That's what loses you friends.

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users

Our firefox crashes as it starts up. Can't find any solutions that work on your website. Have to have firefox for business purposes. Please help!

Hello,
We have used Firefox for years. We have Mac 10.6.8 and Firefox 11.0. It has been working fine until today. I have no idea what could have messed it up. Now every time we try to start it up an error box appears announcing that the application has crashed. My computer has already sent you quite a few error reports. I have to have Firefox for business purposes. Would appreciate help as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Nikol Jones

Please do the following:
Visit www.getfirefox.com in safari, download and install Firefox 17.0.1. Try to open Firefox. If that doesn't work, follow these instructions:
#Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
#Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Hosting an ecommerce website with iMac and Mac server app

Would it be possible to run an effective small business website which includes an online store using my iMac (or Mac mini), a WYSIWYG editor, my current ISP, plus, do effective SEO, configure and employ other revenue streams in addition to my own website shopping cart feature such as google shopping and implement other revenue streams on my website like ad-sense?
I need to set-up an ecommerce site for my small business which I just bought a domain for. What I'm trying to find out is if it is better to use a web host, or, if I could use my iMac with the Apple server app (or buy the mini server) and host it myself. I don't have any programming language skills, but, I believe I am capable of doing this myself once I begin to comprehend and practice the neccasary processes to make all of this happen.

Getting the easy question out of the way: yes, an iMac running Server.app and add-on eCommerce software can do this.
Now for the tougher question: should you? You're signing on for maintaining and updating and troubleshooting and potentially site remediation and decontamination after issues or security attacks. You are also signing up for PCI compliance, if you're not working with another entity for credit-card processing. (Anything with credit card data is a target for attacks; there's money involved.)
There're the more germane aspects, too: ensuring your (static IP) network links have bandwidth, availability and latency (eg: ISP bandwidth, pingdom or other uptime checks, et al), and maintaining your servers against crashes and corruptions and hardware failures (eg: RAID, possibly redundant systems); maintaining site access against the usual sorts of outages. Software updates for OS X and for the ecommerce software and whatever other dependencies are involved, too. Regular backups are most definitely required.
Or alternatively: getting somebody to maintain this stuff for you, either hosted, or dedicated to and on your server(s) and your network links, or on your own co-lo servers.
All this in addition to running your business, and writing (good, frequently updated) content that'll draw in the search engine ranking and/or buying search keywords or whatever you're doing for advertising that'll draw in potential customers, and dealing with the finances and the rest.
Servers are somewhat different from clients, in terms of system management, too. Servers involve more than one user when they're out, and so you're not rebooting or reconfiguring them nearly as often as client systems can be modified. Servers can also tend to chew up bandwidth, if you're successful.
Key to running a business is figuring out what you don't need to do (either at all, or that you can outsource or host or whatever, or hire out for, etc), so that you can focus on what you do need to do to make the business successful... If you're just getting going and not into system administration and programming payment gateways and the rest of running a server, I'd suggest hosting the ecommerce stuff, at least to start with. Unless you want to learn how to run an ecommerce site, that is...

Creating a ecommerce website with Muse and BC

Hello,
I would like to create my site in Muse, then add a catalog in with business catalyst but i don't know if i will be able to continue editing the site in Muse once i upgrade it to webcommerce plan in business catalyst.
I also would like to know how it works when i integrate the catalog in Muse. Do i add a HTML code in a page in Muse then the visitor will be able to navigate in the catalog in the same Muse page? What are the steps to follow to implement a catalog in a Muse website?
I already watched some tutorials but never found specific answers.
Thanks for your help.
Élara.

Hi there, Do a bit of a forum search as there are a few topics on the Muse and eCommerce already.
You can kind of do something but Muse is more of a beginer tool to build basic websites for graphic designers. Its not really a web building tool.
There is a lot to eCommerce and you need to really understand BC, its modules, UI design, HTML, CSS and Javascript to implement eCommerce on BC correctly and get stuck in with coding.

International ecommerce website questions

I have two quick questions.
1) Will google translate work with business catalyst ecommerce website?
2) Has anyone here ever used International Checkout with business catalys? Does it work?
Thanks again in advance!

Hi there,
1. Since Google translate is just a JS widget you embed on your site it will work with BC.
2. I know that barcelonasouvenirs.com has different subdomains for different currencies and it's redirecting people automatically depending on where they're based.

How to use Xserve to host my ecommerce website

Hi everyone,
I'm really confused on how to use an xserve to host an ecommerce website I want to start for my business. I'm familiar with webpage code and stuff, but not really with the hosting/dns type stuff. If I were to purchase an Xserve, what exactly would that allow me to do? I'm very wary of hosting my website with some of these hosts out here, and I also believe I'm going to need a reliable website capable of handling a good amount of people all at once. If anyone could please fill in the blanks for me about how I would hook the Xserve up and have it attached to my domain name (for an example we can use mydomain.com as the domain name) and how it would work with the internet coming into my house now, that would be great. I just don't understand how any of that works. THANKS!

Askacel,
We do this trick for our customers. We are an ISP that manage the Xserve's, Dns and everything,only for Mac's. Find an ISP that gives you co-location and supports Xserves, this way you can concentrate on building your commerce site and let the ISP handle server stuff.

How do you restrict web browsing to view only specified sites for business use?

Hello, I need to restrict the use of Firefox and Internet Explorer to only specified websites that we use for business use.
I have a problem with a number of employees using unauthorized and dangerous websites that have put my business computers at risk.
Since it is impossible to police the employees viewing habits in real time, I need to restrict the viewing. How do I set up a list of only allowed sites that can only be overridden by admin privileges despite user accounts?

You will have to block such unwanted sites in a firewall or router or proxy and only allow access via that proxy.<br />
All other ways can easily circumvented, by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]] if it is an extension or by using a portable Firefox version.

Need Help with Skype for Business!

I purchased the Skype for business for an entire year. Now, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to log in. Do I have to link it to original skype? I am new to this and have no knowledge of the formats of Skype or it for business.
Subject/title expanded to reflect post content a little more accurately.

Hi, and no need to feel stupid!
Welcome to this on-line community.
A few questions for you to clarify the Skype product you are working with, so we can send you in the right direction in an effort to resolve the problem:
Are you referring to either Skype Manager, or Skype Connect? Do you recall what "business" product you have?
Or, what are you trying to sign in to? A Skype account via the Skype website, or the software itself?
This FAQ article should help unravel the mysteries of the differences between a personal Skype account and a Skype For Business (formerly known as Lync) configuration: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34551/what-s-the-difference-between-skype-and-skype-for-business
Thanks in advance for providing the additional details.
Regards,
Elaine

Hosting website by Business catalyst

Why neither Safari nor Firefox can find my website after I made an upgrade for Business catalyst (webBasics )? My website works only with the url: .businesscatalyst.com and not with my site name. Many thanks for the answer.

Skype for Business Live Tile - How to clear count

I understand that when the live tile for Skype for Business shows a number, it means I had that many missed contacts. But the question is "since when"? Since the last time I opened the app? If that's the intent, it doesn't seem to be working for me. My live tile always shows "6". If I open the app then exit it, the "6" disappears, but at some point in the future the "6" returns without any new missed contacts. So how do I "clear" the missed contact count so that it is actually meaningful? A related question is, how do I know what are the six missed contacts? If I scroll right to the "Recent" list, how do I know which of those contacts are counted as being among the six that were missed? If there is supposed to me some sort of "missed" indicator, I sure can't tell what it is. Any advice welcome! Thanks!

does anyone know if there is a way to actually speak to SKYPE? i would like to discuss different business options (I have spent 20 mins searching the website and internet for a contact us and resorted to this, much like google! ridiculous that you cannot speak to a human being !!!)
