    Ecommerce is such a great program to make sales online, I like that this is available for free to add in a business website.

      The website design process can be a very taxing endeavor with both workload and costs.  Ecwid allows you to use their ecommerce platform for free, and IconoSites let’s you use our website builder for free as well.  The combination of these two when starting a small business website is very powerful.
