Ecommerce Applications

When you think ecommerce you are thinking making money on the web itself. All business sites are about making money but the ecommerce site provides the visitor to directly purchase products or services and, typically, pay your fees right on your web site.

Ecommerce web sites will normally have at least two features in common.

A shopping cart or at least one button to make a purchase.

A method of accepting your customer's payment.

Your needs will depend on the nature and quantity of your products or services. A most basic ecommerce site may offer only a single product. Normally the cost and complexity of such a site would be kept low by using an online payment processor that provides "buy" buttons for simple purchases. PayPal is a prime and well respected example for this type of simple ecommerce. By using your PayPal account to create the code necessary, we can design your simple site to include this code combined with your product or service descriptions, options and photos.

For more complex applications we can supply you with some pretty awesome shopping cart programs that do just about everything. These allow you direct control over your products, descriptions, images and prices.  There is virtually no limit to the number of products you can sell. They generate the orders, accept payments using a variety of payment options. They will create invoices and packing lists. You will be able to send news letters to your subscribed customers and much more.  We prefer the OpenSource community for software but we can also provide licensed software from for-profit software venders as well.
