This is an interesting way of asking your question. 1. You can develop your site yourseld because you said you knew how to write html codes. If you are not a master at that, there are several packages on hte market some you can even try for 30 days at no cost. I use Hotdog which I believe you can download from http://www.shareware.com I prefer Hotdog Pro version 2.3. 2. You can have your own payment program with ecash contact Taru Goel at goelt@marktwain.com and tell him you were referred by momo of momofoto gallery, I don't get any fee for this. It will require that you can configure this at your server. 3. You should also offer credit cards, best to deal directly with a bank that does Internet Business,I use Wells Fargo and you can contact Debra Carraway at carraway@wellsfargo.com for a merchant application. They are a cybercash bank. 4. The hardest by far is the web host, not all of them are good. Some charge a fortune and prey on newbies. Make sure that you can actually put the business banking software on their server before you join and you wnat that in writing. I joined one of these bozzos only to discover at the last minute that they had no intentions of allowing any software on my side of their server. To move my account was not easy and I am still waiting to complete the transfer. I am not sure where you are located, but a good web service provider should provide you wtihat least 50-75meg of storage space and allow to have on your side of the server, your own order forms, your own cgi script, your own counter, perl ability, image maps ability and also the ability to install business merchant software as long as you do not compromise the security of their server. As for secure web transaction you offer that with ecash, and cybercash. Do contact taru and Carraway for more info and some help. Feel free to contact me with any question you may have.
