Are you interested in a low cost, FREE, way of establishing an ecommerce website for your small business? Look no further. I recently ran across this web tool which allows novice internet users, or even experts if they so choose, to start and develop an online ecommerce website for their small business in under 5 minutes.

The FastCommerce.com e-commerce web service has been designed to get small business owners up quickly with an on-line store. How quickly? I tried it out and found a simple one-step registration process. Afterwards, their software automatically generates a fully developed, aesthestically pleasing, professional web-store.

By signing up with the FastCommerce e-commerce service, small business owners have everything they need to run a complete on-line business. They simply enter their zip code, shipping rates for UPS and FedEx are automatically calculated in the shopping cart. Enter an email address and an email auto-responder for the customer order confirmation is automatically activated. Customers can create a product, go to their store front, add to cart: they can then register, complete the purchase, and go to their email box: a professionally formatted order confirmation email will be there waiting for them.

Also, their service has built in dozens of easy automation features. For example, there are a wide variety of automatic reports at the click of a button, including a quick-link feature that gives a real time view of 10 top selling products and 10 most popular products by page views.

If you are a small business or “homepreneur” looking to set up shop online, you may want to look into this new offering at www.FastCommerce.com

However, if this offering doesn’t suit your needs, there is also a similar service available at www.Shopify.com.
