Having an eCommerce website is a great way to sell products on line however, so few realize just how much goes into an effective eCommerce store. With increasing regulation imposed by the government on online sales for privacy, information collection, taxes, product storage, product composition disclaimers and more; you will need someone to help guide you through these challenges. Whether you are offering a few crafts and products or you have thousands of products, considerations should be made to be sure you can have a website that will perform as good as it looks.
Design Matters
Potential clients are framed to think in short bursts through social media retaining, where choices are made in seconds rather than minutes and in some cases; based solely on the look and feel of the website! Most eCommerce systems talk the big talk like Shopify, Godaddy or Big eComerce, but you end up with a boring shopping cart website or worse; needing to hire them to help costing big money because their systems are all proprietary (only they or their partners can work on them). These big corporations have setup Artificial Intelligence eCommerce web builders or template sites that are cheap or free, but do you really want the anchor of your online presence created created by an algorithm?
We use a system that integrates an eCommerce shopping system into our website system. This means you get the BOTH OF BOTH WORLDS! A great design normally reserved for informational websites AND a way to sell products online. Talk about win, win! I mean that would be like waking up with Donald Trump’s money and Reagan is President again!
Feature-Rich Flexible eCommerce Websites
Our eCommerce websites are perfect for businesses and organizations, that want to sell products either as the primary purpose of the website; or as an additional feature. An example might be a full blown eCommerce site to sell hats, flags, bumper stickers, etc… or an informational website that ALSO sells those items and more. This is the beauty of our system. From there you can make it easy for your customer to reach out to you from forms or contact info on the website. These are also great to showcase project images or galleries, showcase YouTube videos and more! Features that these big corporate eCommerce sites don’t allow you to have!
The system we use is modular, meaning it creates lots of flexibility for design, changes and expansion as your website as your business grows. This powerful platform can handle the most aggressive of website builds or the simplest of designs.
eCommerce websites include the setup of the core website (plugins, platform enhancements, security) For standard build we craft up to 6 pages of our stock or customer supplied content and craft the theme based on the initial conversation. (Customer to provide examples of theme preferences and colors.) We naturally can then add all your products or add a few and train you on the rest to save you big money!

Search Engine Performance:
