Shop Builder: An initiative by young Lebanese in e-commerce in Lebanon

With the proliferation of e-commerce in Lebanon, two Lebanese entrepreneurs, Julien Fayyad and Emile Boustani, set up a website, Shop Builder which should aid producers in building their own websites to showcase and sell their products.  According to Fayyad who was interviewed by L'Orient le Jour, producers will be able to sell their products electronically internally and externally with least effort and high effectiveness. Customers can enter Shop Builder and choose a design and Shop Builder will build their site for USD 75 a month which includes site management, electronic protection, and technical support. Fayyad added by saying that normally it would have cost individuals some EU 10000 to build their website plus USD 600 a month for fees. Shop Builder now includes four staff, is located in Lebanon, and is basically focusing on attracting customers from the UAE, Qatar and Jordan.
