Build an Online Store

Are we sending over governmental contracts for defense goods to China?

And also China is seeking to gain our technology through the purchase of American base companies, will we let them?

Sorry for the hard draft

Absolutely we are—and it has been going on for years–since Clinton begin giving it away. Today’s debate also brought out that one of Romney’s companies deals with China where china is gaining technology from same—-course they have enough dollars just to buy it on the open market.

I am a kitchen designer in Boston and there is a project going on in town that I would love to participate in. I am afraid I don’t know much about how large architectural firms work. Obviously they create the floor plans for the project, head the construction of it and have designers on staff. But do they accept bids for things like a kitchen? Even if the kitchen design is already done by them, do they usually go to an outside source to get the product? Do they accept bids on the project? The website for this particular company doesn’t say much about how they operate. I figured before I contact them and ask, I’d check here and see what you all have to say

Depending on the type of contract that the owner has with the architect firm, the firm may be in complete control of the building project. Normally the actual construction work is contracted out to a builder or general contractor who manages the project and takes bids from sub-contractors. These sub-contractors normally supply the labor and material to perform their specialized area of construction. You need to find out who the builder is. He will likely already have his own suppliers, but it never hurts to ask. The architect would be the place to start, since they are the ones that write the specifications into the building plans. If you can sell them your product to be specified, then the builder will have no choice but to get bids on your product or an equal one.

I have a flickr, picasa, and my own website. But I would like to host my images, which I plan to use on my website, elsewhere. Flickr you can not use commercially, and picasa you give a worldwide license (similiar on facebook) which I am not fond of.

Are there any good commercially friendly free photo hosting websites?

ust get free hosting Change to payed hosting only when you will feel the need.

I recommend 000webhosting. They give you 100gb of bandwidth, 1.5 gb of space and there are no ads.

Can anyone give me a little know-how about starting up a website? Perhaps some step-by-step about how to go from knowing nothing about this, to running a website? I think alot of people would benefit from this information besides just myself. I need to know some of the steps that I need to take to register a domain name, and how to host it. Some of the terms I’ve heard associated with this were MySQL and cPanel (I think). Does anyone know what these terms mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot!

Step 1:
Register your domain name. You can register a domain name at yahoo or at godaddy.com.

Step 2:
Get web hosting. YOu can get web hosting thru Yahoo or Godaddy, or a gazillion other web hosting companies on line. You will likely only need a teeny bit of disk space for your site, but you may want to make sure you have at least 500mb of space so that you have enough room to have email accounts associated with your website/domain. Get a UNIX/RedHat/Linux/Apache type account. You don’t need to pay for "windows" hosting. You should pay between $7 and $20 per month for hosting…. less, and you don’t know what kind of customer service you are going to get, more, and you are paying too much.

Step 3:
Go to the place where you registered your domain name and make sure your DNS is pointing to the place where you are hosting your website.

more explanation: if you register mycompany.com and your host is hostingcompany.com, you need to make sure your domain name is pointing to hosting company. your dns may look like this:

ns1.hostingcompany.com
ns2.hostingcompany.com

Often times your webhost will do the DNS transfer for you. You will need to tell them your regristrar account’s username and password. That’s their job. It’s ok to give it to them. You might want to change it afterwards though.

Side note: I recommend registering your own domain. Don’t have your hosting company register it for you, as you want to own your domain name and have it registered in your own name.

Step 4:
The next step, of course, is to create your website and then load it onto your server. You should learn XHTML and CSS to do a good job here. You only need a text editor such as notepad or textpad to create your site and the filemanager portion of your control panel (see below) to upload your files, but you can also go all out and get Dreamweaver, or other WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor. I recommend Thomsons book "New Perspectives on HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML, Comprehensive"

Terms:

MySQL:
MySQL is a type of database. If this is your first website and you asked the question you did, you likely will never need to use it. However, it is good to get a hosting package that allows for at least one MySQL database. You will only ever need one database, as you can have almost unlimited tables in this one database.

cPanel:
cPanel is a control panel for webhosting. It’s a type of control panel… brand name. It is a really great control panel. WHat is a control panel? A control panel is a GUI by which you can control your website. It includes file manager, where you can upload pages to your website (uploading means putting files from your computer onto your website that is hosted by your hosting company you picked in step 2), control of .htaccess, which allows you to set up password protected directories, email, which allows you to set a default account for your site as well as create email mail boxes and email forwards.

I had tried to sell on ebay, but ebay is having so many restrictions. Can anyone tell me how can i set up my own online store? How much does it cost each month?

Also, i saw a huge amount of people selling fake a bathing ape, LV, nike online. Will they get sue?

Hi here’s a few awesome websites where you can build your own online store and not pay alot for it and you don’t need any programming or engineering experience:

1) Register as a Buyer or Seller (or in your case, a Seller or SuperSeller) at www.WeOfferMore.com. They offer their SuperSellers "free" websites when you register as a SuperSeller. It only costs $130.00 per month to register as a SuperSeller and sell as much as you want to and they also have a Auction Trading Community where other members can bid on your items for sell and you get to keep 100% of your profits without having to worry about Seller Fees and Auction Closing Fees like at Ebay. This is a great place to start and they are really growing.

To register, just go to: http://www.WeOfferMore.com and then select to register for "Free" as a Buyer or Seller and start shopping with other Members or you can register as a SuperSeller and get your own "free" website on the site. You can start posting and adding items in your own shopping cart on the website as soon as you are done registering.

2) WeOfferMore.com also has their own Member Websites at the following website URL address. You can go there also and register and purchase your own website that is already customized by their programmers and you don’t have to do anything but buy it and start adding the items you want in your store and you are ready to start giving out your website address.

Go to: http://www.weoffermore-memberwebsites.com and signup today. Website prices vary in price depending on how many items you want to place in your store and when you register there. Go there and get your store going for a lot less than many other places online and you don’t have to worry about paying for programming either.

You can use this link to see some of the websites that they have already customized for new Members that are ready to go once you purchase it:

3) As for those online selling LV and designer items. Many of them have been sued YES, but alot of them are wholesalers and/or retailers and if you link up with wholesalers, retailers and/or individuals that are selling designer merchandise in bulk, you’ll know then that you are dealing with legitimate individuals that are serious about the business and are licensed to do what they do. Be very careful though because you don’t want to get involved with marketing something designer and then infringe on someone else’s copyrights so the best way to go about it is to work as a distributor or reseller with a wholesaler that is licensed.

Here’s a few wholesalers that we know that can either wholesale to you or let you know where to go for more information:

1) http://www.DesignerHeelsUSA.com
2) http://www.Bling-Bling-Bling.com
3) http://www.Bling-Bling-Bling-Onlinestore.com

Good luck to you and I hope we’ve answered your questions.

I do hair out of my home and i was looking for some wholesale supplies and products such as hair rollers, shampoo, etc.

Usually the local beauty supply has stuff like that at cheap prices. If your licensed, there could be a discount on top of it!

I am using an alternative technology of Flash called Flex 3. I understand the power of Flex 3 and the tools but how do you build a full flex web page? There is no index.html page so what do you do to call the page? In a standard website you have the index. about.html etc..How does it go for Flash or Flex?Thanks for your time.

your flex project compiles to a .sfw file , just like stuff made with flash.
and you embed that .swf to a .html file just like a picture or video. (well its a bit more complicated.)
Flex builder (i guess you’re using that) generates the html page automatically for you. Its in your project folder/bin-debug or in project folder/bin-release (if you exported a release build)

i would like to start an e-bay business who can suggest me good sources to buy cheap goods?

With today’s wealth of information from the Internet, trade shows and business directories, even the smallest of buyers can generate a list of potential suppliers in China. However, possession of a list is only the beginning of the Supplier Evaluation and Order Placement process. The secret to success lies in your ability to move from the ‘Request for Quotation’ phase to delivery, aided by the knowledge of how to select the right supplier from a large pool of potential suppliers; ensure that the quality of the goods produced meet your expectations; and protect your brand imagery and product design specifications. In other words, preventing suppliers from becoming competitors. In this session Mike Bellamy from PassageMaker (psschina.com) will look at common pitfalls and best practices, and offer strategies on how smaller companies can overcome these issues on a limited budget.
