Let's set a new standard for selling vehicles on the internet. You trademark the phrase take the virtual drive. The concept of this website that sets your internet business model apart from every other vehicle dealer on the planet is the "virtual drive", a unique web based technology. This internet technology presents high definition video tours, many close-up professional photos, sound bytes of the engine running and noise level inside the cabin, and nearly every detail for each vehicle you are selling. You provide so much detail about each vehicle you are selling that the consumer will literally feel as if they have seen the car first hand. That is your idea, now you want to turn your vision into a live ecommerce website that generates traffic and has branding that sets you apart from every other dealer in the industry. You are business savvy, have the finances to make your vision a reality, but don't have the expertise or the knowledge to put the right team together to make this internet business vision a reality.
We will start by choosing a domain name that brands you as well as lets your potential customers know exactly what you are trying to sell them. Vehicles2U.com is a perfect domain name for this venture. To ensure the success of your traditional marketing campaign you purchase VehiclesToYou.com as well. This will allow you to effectively market your internet business to people whether they see or just hear your advertisements. Now there is a whole world of decisions to make at this point, and you have chosen someone who lives in that world to either make those decisions for you, or help guide you to make those decisions. The first steps we need to take are to determine the web server platform and the direction for the initial web application architecture (PDF). The variables for these decisions will determine the development's direction and should be based on certain underlying factors if they exist. Do you have connections with a vendor that can offer you a discount on Microsoft products? Did you want to hire a team to develop your web applications in house or did you want to outsource a bulk of the programming to a web development firm? Choosing to put a team together and completing the initial development in house will be much more productive and allow for the project to be completed on a shorter time line. Are you planning to run and manage the servers out of your company's local office or are the servers going to be placed in multiple tier one network colocations to be managed remotely? I advise that the servers reside in tier one datacenters which are located across the country where you plan to have most of your business take place. As the demand for your ecommerce service increases, there will be load balancing and other internet engineering concerns that will require advanced planning. I can design comprehensive schematics and coordinate the outsourcing of each task to freelance web programmers and developers or put together a team to complete the entire task in house. Once we have those initial variables about your internet startup understood we will need to select the right team to get the web development underway. Graphic designers, web programmers, database engineers, flash designers, proficient scripters, internet marketers, network administrators, and at least one industry guru should be enough to get the development of this masterpiece into motion.
Did I mention that your internet technology will have relevance built into it? The web development team that I help you put together will have search engine optimization and latent semantic indexing principles taught to them before construction begins. Your vehicle selling website will have SEO built in which will ensure internet traffic starting the day you are indexed by all the major search engines. Along with providing an internet business model that includes the latest and best technologies available on the planet, the development that takes place will be among the most cost effective and efficient possible. We may use pay-per-click advertising to cover difficult one word keywords such as "hybrids" and other niche keywords that the content of your website may not specifically cover. With an internet service like yours, the conversion rates from such ad spending are sure to be above average. With me on your team the knowledge for every single facet of the internet is a conversation away from you. Due to the media intense vision of your web presence you may even want to consider social media marketing. Feel free to check out the list of internet profile websites to get a glimpse into what that may include.
