Essential pages to include in your website

Building The Store Policy Pages.

If you are a real business you already have a policy. If you have it written up, just copy and paste it into a page named "Store Policy".

If you are not a real business, you need a store policy.

Even if you are using paypal to collect money you still need to outline your sales and refund or returns policy. If you have a dispute, you must have a clearly posted set of rules.

You can often require people to agree to your terms before purchasing. It really servers no legal purpose, but can work for you in resolving disputes outside court.

If you are writing your own store policy, you should have an attorney reveiw your work so you are sure that you have covered all the bases.

A good policy page will be all text. Clear sections with headers and indented content. You know, a profesionaly typed page.

Don't center things and add pictures. Keep it serious and make sure you define how to return merchandise and the costs the consumer will absorb.

If you charge a 10% restocking fee, make sure you have it in there. If you try t charge restocking fees and never warned the customer that that was your policy, you wont be able to charge it.
