This new era of the Internet is a reflection of the technological period and even commercial period the world has recently entered the Age of Customization. Where once you chose between black or decaf, you now face more than 200 different coffee options at your local starbucks. Where at one time you might have gone to one or two websites for your information, it is now being passed, shared saved, and downloaded across millions of sites.

Those who dare to resist the new dynamic face of the internet will find their websites falling into the shadows just when technology has enabled even the smallest ebayer the ability to compete with the corporate megastructure. The call to action is simple and clear - Go Web 2.0 or go home.

How does it work?
Once you understand the major functions of what Web 2.0 can do, you’ll have a better idea of why it is so absolutely critical that your website include it. You’ll notice that the characteristics of Web 2.0 are very similar to those of a living organism.

First is the issue of Adaptability. Through the use of RSS Feeds, it’s now possible to have your favorite site automatically update you with any changes you want to know about. New products, Fresh News Reports, Latest Crazy Internet Video, etc.There’s less and less of you going to the information. You’re in the driver’s seat: the information is trying to get to you.

Next is Social Awareness. Web 2.0 supports a type of programming language called XML. This new language allows sites to communicate with one another! Yes they’re socializing. Why is that useful? What if you want to know who has the cheapest PlasmaTV. Hop onto the right site and it can “talk to” every other site that offers what you’re after and tell you which one has the best price or which one most people shop at or which one has the least Product Returns. The applications are infinite.

Web 2.0 seems like a small upgrade from the earlier Web 1.0, but the numbers are misleading. It’s actually an entirely new, approach an Internet that finds itself in a state of constant flux much like our own world, right?

Good Moves, but How does it Look?
Some people say you can’t define Web 2.0, or people have a hard time describing it. It’s really very simple to describe how it looks compared to Web 1.0. In one word: BETTER. On a Web2.0-enhanced site, you’ll see windows within that page that have rounded corners. They’ll have mini-navigation bars in them, as on Yahoo! You’ll be able to navigate only in that window, while never leaving the page.

You’ll also notice that the colors have a gradient-style. It’s not just red, blue, or white. It’s a deep red that turns lighter and lighter until it becomes white. It changes. Links are built into the text; not off to the side. The story, the information offers you more. When the story uses a word that you don’t understand, the story provides you with the definition if you need it - just click on the word.

My God, What does this Mean?

t means the web is becoming more and more alive. It communicates, it reacts, it makes decisions. With Web 2.0, the Internet is more equipped to take care of visitors. It can customize itself to each and every person. That’s what people want; that’s what people have come to expect in 2006 and anything less is no longer tolerated. That’s why it’s so important that your website be built with Web 2.0. Imagine, if this is the Internet in its infancy, just wait until it’s ready to stand up!

In today’s world of advanced websites, have you ever wondered why user interface of Google.com is so simple?

The reason is very simple and funny.

It is due to the fact that Google Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin didn’t know HTML and just wanted a quick interface for launching their special algorithms which they have made for indexing web pages.

There are a lot of services on the internet that offer templates and applications for oscommerce customization. When deciding on how to customize your website with the solutions that work best for you think about the aspects that you would like to see on the website. Items such as an easy viewable order history, product reviews, a display of what other customers have ordered with that product will aid in creating an oscommerce system that is customized to the needs of the user, which will bring about more business for you in the long run.

In regards to running a business there are certain aspects of oscommerce customization that as a business owner you want to keep in mind to keep the business running smoothly. For starters never loose touch with customers. Keep the website in their minds by sending them newsletters regarding products and services that your business offers. If they are reminded that your business is around it will make you their number one choice to come back to when they want to buy more products.

Oscommerce customization can be designed to offer statistics on customers. Tracking what the most frequent product being sold is. As well as what your customers are interested in. One of the best options to add in is showing what other items customers purchased when they bought the same product. To advertise other products that could have been missed may bring about more money for your business. To make things easier have a program that can print packaging lists and invoices directly from the order screen. It will save time and time is money.

Of course to allow any business to run smoothly and professionally you have to have good support and in the case of oscommerce customization good technical support is a must. For both the company and it’s users. The importance of templates should never be underestimated to keep everything looking organized and uniform. Also be sure to have a system that allows for easy backup and restoration of a database. In a global economy such as our multilingual customer service agents is a must in aiding communication for any problems that could occur.

Oscommerce customization has many more options available than what is talked about here. The potential is as limitless as ones imagination and innovation.

What’s in a name? Well to me the name is just about everything. What if Microsoft, Amazon or Ebay were to change their name. Do you think they would still be successful? I don’t think so.

So it’s time to pick a domain name. So should I just try to find something that is available or should I give this some thought.

A good domain is…
• short and sharp
• meaningful — conveys a clear message
• easy to spell
• easy to remember
• unique, descriptive, and “you”
• solid, classic, not hokey

As much as possible your domain name should end in .com, .net, or .org. The reason is simple .com/. Net/. org are all well-established extensions to your site name. Think about your visitor’s mindset or better yet your mindset when you are developing your domain name… which one has the most credibility to you when you are surfing?

When do you use dashes in your domain name? If both versions of a 3-or-more-word
domain are available, I like using the dashes because they make the word breaks
more obvious to the eye. Also, the engines usually treat dashes as a space. So it
may be more likely to “see” the entire string as separate words. For example, which is easier to read?…pricing-on-the-net.com or… pricingonthenet.com Dashes are less important if your domain name has only two words in it. See how netpricing.com and cyberpricing.com don’t really need the help of a dash? Do use dashes (even if the domain only has two words) if someone else is already using the non-dash version.

The bottom line is domain names are so cheap that it’s a good idea to take both versions (with and without the dash), just to make sure that a competitor does not take names that could be confused with yours. You can always make one domain point to the main one.

Think about “expandability” and “branding” for your business. However, the best
way to begin is to stay narrow in scope and then expand your niche when all goes
well.

Keep in mind that mixing themes on your site will dilute your site’s Search Engine
effectiveness and cloud the message to your visitors.

If you have two domain names in mind, you can always register both. Eventually,
you could link them together through a master site. As noted earlier, registering
domains is cheap. Why not lock them all in right now? That way, your expansion
plans won’t be derailed but someone lest cheap or should I say conservative with money as you when the time comes for you to expand your business.
