BUSINESS TO BUSINESS E-COMMERCE

Well to get into whole topic lets understand what is B2B and e-commerce separately. You might have heard these words like manufacturer, wholesale and retailers. These are the important part of any business. Actually this is a complete chain in which goods moves from manufactures to customer. Now the question arises where this B2B occur when goods move from manufacturer to wholesaler then this transaction is called B2B because both the parties are engaging with business. Similar case is with wholesaler to retailer. But if retailer sells it to consumer then it is not a B2B because consumer is not engaged in any kind of business. So we can define B2B as a transaction between businesses. Retailer to consumer transaction is known as B2C.This is the whole concept of B2B.

Now we have another word to understand e-commerce. E stands for electronic and commerce means business in simple word. That means business through some electronic medium. Everybody knows about internet and its uses and many people have also done online shopping that means to purchase through internet. In this case if you purchase through then it is called B2C E-commerce. Online ticketing, online reservation, any kind of online shopping is B2B. And if both the parties are engaged in business then it is called as B2B E-commerce. If manufacturer and wholesaler are engaged through internet for their business transaction then it is a B2B E-commerce.

Now to understand this concept of B2B online business lets understand E-marketplace. For that Lets take an example of “mall”. You might have seen and have been done shopping there. Have you ever think the concept of mall. Before the concept of mall there were shops, showrooms etc but there was not a unique place where everything would be available and we could save our time in searching our requirement. But after this mall concept we just move inside the mall and can purchase everything we want. In the mall, we have so many options, quality etc. and it saves our lots of time. You can say this is a platform where buyers and sellers meet and transaction happened.

Now think if the same thing done online then what it would be called. Let’s make it more clear .Today there are many online Platform like Magento, Spree Commerce, OsCommerce where manufacturer, suppliers are wholesalers are registered and will listed in directory then they can find each other very easily and increase their business. This is time saving, money saving, having more option etc. This platform is called as online marketplace. And this is called B2B e-commerce.

There are so many benefits of B2B e-commerce for both the Consumer and Retailer like:

1. Time saving
2. Money saving
3. Availability of internet
4. Options are there to business with
5) Overseas scope

Most Common Mistakes To Avoid When Created the websites

I know first hand how upsetting it is - to get an error when trying to upload the website you have spent ages making. Or to discover that something won't show on your page, as well as your website just doesn't look the way you wanted it to.

I used to get all sorts of problems - from missr online at all...

Here are some of the most common mistakesing images or incorrectly positioned text, to my website simply "refusing" to appea people make while creating and publishing websites:

    * Using Incorrectly Resized Images

If you are using images on your website - try keeping them as small as possible. Not only smaller images will take less time to load but they also work better on small display devises such as PDAs or cell phones. I'd say a good size for an image would be under 50 kilobytes.

Common mistake most people make is thinking they can make an image smaller by clicking and dragging on it. I must admit that I've done this myself.

What this really does - it reduces the dimensions of an image - not the actual file size.

So when you upload the webpage you might see that the image appears larger than you wanted it to be "pushing" the rest of your page's content all over the place or that the image takes long time to load.

That is why you should resize your images using image editing software before inserting them in the web page.

    * Not Saving Web Pages Correctly

When you are creating a website using HTML web editor - web pages are usually saved as.html or.xhtml files.

If you want a page you are creating to appear when someone types in your domain name - you will have to save it as "index.html"

In other words - index.html is the home page of your website.

Any additional pages should also be saved as.html files although you can name them whatever you want. Just be sure not to put any spaces or upper case in the name of the file.

    * Web Pages Are Not Linked Together Correctly

Make sure all your pages are linked together and all the links are actually "clickable" and send you to a correct page or a website.

Links are vital for your website to work properly - believe me - you would not want to send your customers to an error page.

    * Not Saving All The Content Of The website In The Same Location

It is important to have all your website related material in the same place on your computer. Save everything in a separate folder. To make my folders easy to find - I name them the same as my websites.

If the content of your website is all over your hard drive the chances are - something will not get uploaded and your website will not function properly.

    * Forgetting To Change The Name Servers

If your domain name and a hosting account were bought from different companies you will have to make sure to replace existing name servers in your registrar account with the ones provided by your host - or your website will not be viewable online.

    * Trying To Publish Your Website Straight Away After Buying a Domain Name

It normally takes up to 48 hours for your domain name to get recognized (propagated) and it can also take several hours for the change of the name servers to take effect.

Bearing this in mind - do not expect your website to appear online immediately.

    * Providing Incorrect Publishing Servers Details

Your host most probably would have many different directories on its servers - that is why you will need to know exactly where to send your pages to. This information is normally found in an email that you have received after getting a hosting account. In most cases it would be "public_html" directory, however there are exceptions.

If your host did not provide this information - do not hesitate to contact a customer support and ask them which directory they want you to upload your website to.

When you are publishing your web pages straight from a web editor - double-check that you have typed in the correct publishing address.

And remember - we all make mistakes at some point. It is inevitable part of the learning process. The important thing is - not to let those mistakes stop you taking action.
