Ecommerce Website Design

Hi my name is Dan Norris, I run a web design business in Queensland, Australia and over the years we have built hundreds of sites including loads of ecommerce sites on platforms like Magento, Joomla / Virtuemart, OsCommerce and Zen Cart.

I am particularly passionate about small businesses so I run a number of blogs (including this one) and create a lot of content to help small business owners succeed online.

This blog is used specifically for topics related to Ecommerce Website Design. Check out the blogroll on the right for my other sites but my main web design blog is http://awebsitedesigner.com.au.

I hope you find this site useful, if you are interested in getting started online check out my main blog or contact me for a chat.
