This week we learned a lot about different options that are available to make our e-commerce site function. There are several options from creating a web page that has a lot of custom coding, to ones that only allow you to "drag and drop" but in their pre-made templates.
Before this week I wasn't aware of the large array of different options to build a website there were. However, that wasn't all that we learned this week.
We learned all about hosting engines. This probably sounds a bit more complicated than it actually is. There are several options when you are thinking about hosting. A host is the company that "stores" your website on their servers allowing people across the world to find it, if they click the right link or are aware of the web address of your domain.
Several e-commerce site builders have hosting built into their model. However, you can still choose to use an outside host to "host" your page with.
After some research I decided that shopify seems to fit my needs the best out of any site builder, and it includes hosting as part of their fee for allowing you to build your website using their software.
