Hi Janine,
Thank you for the interesting book. I am busy learning how to design a business website and I would like to collect info on the people ordering on my website. How would I do so, bearing in mind that I am a beginner to websites and computers in general?
Many thanks,
Shamen
Hi Shamen,
Thank you for buying my book. Collecting information on customers is not an easy thing for beginners to do on their own, that’s part of why Adobe acquired a company called Business Catalyst to offer this service, and integrate it with Dreamweaver.
Business Catalyst is a hosted services, meaning you have to use their web server if you use their service. They charge a monthly fee, similar to a web host, and offer a service that combines a content management system (CMS), with ecommerce and a shopping cart, with an email newsletter service and integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
It’s an impressive collection of services, but it does come with some limitations. You can learn more at http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst.html
I hope that helps and I wish you all the best,
Janine
