How to Create a Website for a Retail BusinessIn Feburary 2016 24,

Purchase a domain name from a Web registrar or website hosting company such as GoDaddy, JustHost.com or HostGator. Make your domain name similar to your store name if you already have a traditional brick-and-mortar retail shop. Alternatively, try to think of a brandable domain name---one that is short so that customers will remember it.
Purchase a website hosting subscription from a hosting company. Look for a Web hosting service that o contains a one-click system for installing scripts and includes free eCommerce shopping carts, such as Fantastico. For Web hosting plans, most retail businesses need to invest $10 to $20 for a monthly subscription plan (as of 2010).
Decide on an eCommerce shopping cart program. Both free and paid versions of website shopping carts exist. Free programs include Zen Cart and osCommerce, while paid ones include BigCommerce and X-Cart Pro.
Log in to your Web hosting control panel. Upload and install the eCommerce shopping cart program to your website. Create a username and password for the program's administration side.
Shopping Cart Setup
Log in to the administration side of your retail shopping cart website. Familiarize yourself with the user control panel, inventory control system, catalog and product manager as well as the different checkout features like online discounts and coupons.
Edit the layout design of your shopping cart program, and customize your retail store's appearance through the shopping cart administration panel. Most shopping cart software comes with several layout templates you can choose from, which will show featured items and/or allow you to rearrange the main sections and sidebars of your site. These website design capabilities should also provide you with the ability to upload an image of your store logo and your website header.
Create product categories and organize your product listings. Organize and name your categories using main and sub-categories. For example, an apparel retail business may have main product categories such as Men's Clothing, Women's Clothing and Children's Clothing.
Create product listings for each category. Give each product a name and an accurate description, explaining each in terms of size, color and other important features. Also set prices, quantities available and other relevant details such as product weight for shipping purposes.
Edit the shipping module section. Set either a flat-rate shipping price for all orders or make shipping rates order- and weight-dependent. Add shipping vendors that you'll use to fulfill orders such as United States Postal Service, United Parcel Service and FedEx.
Customize the payment section of your site to integrate payment gateways. Add your PayPal credentials or insert your Google Checkout Merchant number and key if you want to offer these checkout methods.
Log out of your shopping cart program's administration panel. Test your retail business website by making a test purchase and navigating your entire site from the customer's side.
