Each picture should also have a detailed description of the product. The easier the site is to access, the more likely it is the visitor will purchase a product.

This link should be directed to another page, which lists an e-mail address, phone number, and mailing address. Customers need to feel that they can contact you at any time if they have any questions or problems. It is also wise to have a Frequently Asked Questions section to your site, which provides answers to common queries. With the e-commerce business leading the way in the web of money-making ventures, many are racing to join the masses.
