I have always enjoyed shopping and bidding online at websites like Ebay, Target, and Amazon. Aside from the convenience of not having to go to the actual stores to purchase things I need, I get to save a lot of money shopping at these sites with the discounts I get and also the money I save from not traveling to these stores. I like being able to do these things online as I have been very busy keeping my small business afloat. The recession hit my business hard. Since the things that I sell are not really necessities, lesser and lesser people actually buy things from my store. I have already reached the point where in my store earnings could no longer suffice paying the bills. Because of this, I decided to put up an online store using the free flash website builder, Wix.com. Wix.com helps anybody create Flash websites with professional designs and layouts. Before signing up for the service, I was able to see galleries of websites of Wix users and was impressed by how they all look like. There were Flash websites made for business, photography, music, art, research, education, and more. It was so easy creating a website with Wix. I just had to select a template and drag and drop the things that I want added to personalize the site. The Flash website I made attracted a lot of customers. Now I am looking at getting the e Commerce upgrade and closing my physical store completely.
