How can I build my Yahoo Store?
You can build your Yahoo Store using Yahoo's storefront template service. Although storefront templates make it very easy for you to set up your online business, they may not be appropriate for some industry verticals. When using a template service, your storefront may look similar to other businesses' storefronts that are using the same service. To some businesses with smaller market share this is tolerable, but to others this makes their website less distinguishable on the Internet. Therefore, while it is possible to create an appealing store simply by using the default templates, most stores that build that way end up looking very similar.
