e-commerce facilities

E-commerce - online shopping. We are here to prove that it is probably easieer than you think. We can build you an effective on line shop that will have you up and running within a few weeks. All the e-commerce sites we have ever built are still running and making a good profit for their owners.

One of our specialities is adding online sales to existing sites quickly and easily.
We use tried and tested code to build links to a secure SSL server, and use SecPay for online card validation.

An exciting new development is the ability to enable "soft goods" sales. This means that if you want to sell software directly from your site, whether it be music or video files, or programs, you can now do so with the minimum of fuss. There are very few software systems around which give you this ability, and we are always on the case researching the best methods of enabling this kind of transaction.

As an example: A customer visits your site, and previews the product. If the visitor decides to buy, they click the link. This takes them to the SecPay card validation server where the account details are taken. On verification, the customer is presented with another link which in turn enables them to download the product, having paid for it.

Its secure and simple, and prices start at around £500

For a truly versatile high performance ecommerce site we recommend one of our PHP/SQL database driven catalogue systems. This comes with a web based interface that enables you the client to maintain the store once it has been built - its your place after all.

We only install these on our own server, for this simple reason.
Guaranteed performance and availability.
Dynamic stores require the server to actually work for its money rather than simply handing out static pages. The average "shared hosting" platform will typically be hosting 10,000 sites so it's going to be a bit stretched on the resource front. Our dual Xeon VPS has twice the memory and processing capacity of most run of the mill shared hosts, plus it only hosts about 100 sites.

We are a Somerset Business Link Accredited web design company and as such have excellent references and indemnity insurance so your online business is safe with us. There are business grants available to get your business ecommerce enabled. Its easier than you think.
