Ask an Expert: Building a better website - USATODAY.com

It's fun to see a coworker mentioned in a USAToday article.

This brings me to the second factor — e-marketing. I spoke about this subject — online small business success — last week with Jeff Zimmerman, the Vice President of Product Management for Online Marketing and E-Commerce for Network Solutions.

The article writer does a good job with the short interview and also brings in some of his own personal experience creating a web site. There are a few revealing tips to succeeding online. The article also mentions our new tool for entrepreneurs at MySolutionSpot.com.

Took The Dive

Oh, and did I forget to mention that I took the dive and my family and I are starting our own e-commerce site? I figured I might as well let this e-commerce knowledge that has been gathering over the past 5-- 6! years go towards some benefit outside of my official job role. Please check out and critique my work at Happy ★ is ★ the ★ Bride.com. My wife has an interest in the wedding planning business and this is the beginning of that outlet. Please comment here on this blog post with your feedback regarding the site and I will respond.

Search Box On Htm Page

This form can be set up on a custom HTML page off-site of the e-commerce page. Here is the code that I used:

<form name="search" method="GET" action="http://happyisthebride.com/search.aspx">
<input type="text" name="find" size="22">
<input type="image" img src="http://happyisthebride.com/themes/migration-2/images/buttons/mod_btn_go.gif" name="btnSearch">
</form>

Version 7 Templates

Clients about to migrate to version 7 should check out the new pre-built templates. You can preview the new templates by going to the demo store and logging in using guest / Netsol1. Then go to Design > Site Design > Templates. However, I thought it'd be easier to just post some thumbnails for all of them. These each link to larger versions.
