Description

Web design transaction method and system {WEB DESIGN TRANSACTION METHOD AND SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a trading method and system, and more particularly to a method, apparatus and system for trading web design.

In general, web design refers to a graphic element of a homepage such as a layout or color of a homepage existing on the Internet. Recently, there are many homepages on the Internet, and it is increasing.

In the existing web design sales structure, a seller inputs and registers information to be sold after developing a web design, and a user selects and purchases a desired design among registered designs, and the seller applies the design to the user within a few days. Was operated. At this time, the user can only evaluate the web design, and the seller had to directly enter and confirm the item of the web design. If a user needs to find a seller's information and send an e-mail by email in order to correct an error or improve the web design, the user can check and manage the response or processing of the response. Could not be presented.

In addition, in the preparation of the existing web design, since the seller has to directly install the web design creation environment in the form of a program, there are many difficulties in providing all the components for the web design. In addition, the distribution of the web design was not easy because other devices are required for the sale management of the completed web design.

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an embodiment of a structure of a conventional design market. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional design market structure may include a shopping mall operator 10, a design market 20, and a design supplier 30.

Referring to FIG. 1, the design supplier 30 registers the created web design in the design market 20 as a design seller. Upon registration of the completed web design, the design market 20 may request a fee for some of the design sales revenue from the seller. The design market 20 may select and sell a desired design by displaying the design to a shopping mall operator 10 (the shopping mall operator may generally be a consumer of the design market 20).

The shopping mall operator 10 selects a design registered in the design market 20. When the selection is made, the design market 20 connects the design supplier 30 supplying the selected design with the shopping mall operator 10. The shopping mall operator 10 may consult with the design supplier 30 about the design, and may request the application of the shopping mall. The design supplier 30 applies the design to the shopping mall operator 10 within two to three days.

2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating another embodiment of a conventional design store structure. As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional design store structure includes a web designer 210 (seller), a design center 220, a design editing apparatus 230, 232, and a hosting service apparatus 240, 242.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the web designer 210 receives a request for purchase and / or work on the web design from the design center 220, the web designer 210 registers the created web design in the design center 220. From design center 220, a user can purchase a design and download the design when the purchase is complete. The design downloaded from the design editing apparatus 230 may be edited, and the edited design may be uploaded and executed by the hosting service apparatus 240.

In addition, in customizing the web design, the web design created by the web designer 210 may be edited by the design editing apparatus 232 after being customized. Customizing means purchasing a web design or partial design and rewriting it to meet the needs of the buyer. Web design generally has an original, and this process is used to modify the design to meet the requirements, or to modify certain phrases based on the original. Changes are made in the original data sold, such as changing the color, text, or resizing of a particular image. In the case of web design, this includes changes in HTML or CSS / Javascript. After the customization operation, the design editing apparatus 232 may edit the customized web design and upload it using the hosting service apparatus 242.

As the web design is traded through the above method, the web design sellers (web designers) do not meet the consumer's requirements of the actual web design and write the web design so that the consumer does not provide the desired web design. There is this. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to maintain the web design in accordance with the needs of consumers generated while using the created web design. Moreover, web design sellers have difficulty in registering in the design store because they create a web design in a situation where there is no suitable web design creation environment to be registered in the design store.

Moreover, in the case of a user who does not have the ability to create a web design, there is a problem in that a web design seller who writes a web design that he / she wants to provide does not find a web design that does not provide a desired web design.

In addition, the recent emphasis on cross-browsing and the use of various web browsers emphasizes the need for compatibility between web browsers and web designs. There is a problem that can not suggest a solution.
