Hints, Methods & Techniques - Development of Web-Enabled Applications

 

Due to ever-increasing competition from eBay shops and sellers in India, China and Malaysia, many eBay sellers in the UK, US and Europe are setting up their own websites to complement their eBay presence. Of course, you have to make sure that selling products through your own website doesn’t conflict with the policy about selling “off eBay”.

 

Providing the eBay shop site and your own website are complementary, then having your own unique style and identity on the Internet can be a great way of keeping the competition at bay (no pun intended!)

 

But setting up your own website can be a daunting prospect and most likely you’ll be wanting to hire a professional to actually do the job. If you’ve never been involved in developing web-enabled applications before, there can be many pitfalls, even when working with a specialist company. So we thought it might be useful for fellow eBayers if we published these guideline methodologies that are similar to those used by large companies and professional developers.

 

For the relatively small website development projects that most eBay shops and sellers might want to undertake, it’s not really necessary to stick rigidly to all the methods and techniques detailed in these papers. But they are a good source of tips and hints that are based on methods used by the “big boys” who spend £ millions on their projects. We hope they will be useful for you (and there is no charge!).
