A moderator’s query about if Cre8asite should start a section specifically for ecommerce is leading to a small debate about how ecommerce information could be defined, found and organized for our audience.

Would an ecommerce area become a junk drawer, or could it serve as a clearing house? Diane Vigil of Developed Traffic weighs in:

Ecommerce, though, is another bird altogether, and there are many issues that aren’t really about design or programming. We do a fair number of shopping carts and, again, there are many issues that would benefit from their own forum. Right now, they’re strewn about in Usability, Web Design, Web Programming, marketing … etc. I mean, really, where would you put a thread about SSL certificates?

The original list of things a prospective ecommerce site owner may need to know is long. The discussion is active. Issues of how forums serve readers are in the air.

Come on in and weigh in or follow the thread at Cre8asite Forums. What do you think? Are You Interested In Ecommerce?.
