    What you're after is a mailto link, something like the following:

    <a href="mailto:your@email.com">Contact me</a>

    When it comes to handling payment transactions, I would look into using either Paypal or Google Checkout. Both provide facilities to handle credit card transactions in a secure manner, which is incredibly important if you want anybody to trust your site. They will take a small cut from each sale and they work by redirecting the customer to their secure pages for payment, then redirecting them back to your site after they have finished the transaction.

    I've not worked with either of these APIs, so you'll need to do some reading to learn more about how to use them. I believe they provide "sandbox" accounts where you can test your site and the integration with the payment service before it goes live.

    As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

    If you want to run a successful e-commerce you must choose a reliable web hosting service. The security of your business directly depends on the security of your hosting service. (Hacker safe)
