E-Commerce (Online Shop) Solutions

As well as writing a number of bespoke online, in-house systems for customers, we have developed our own e-commerce software based on the 'bits you need' from other online shop packages - and left out all of the extra bits which just cause confusion!

Experience has shown that most of the free online shop software (such as Zen Cart, OS Commerce etc) has been written to incorporate 'everything you could ever want (and a whole lot you don't)' for both UK and US shops and in doing so makes finding the bits you do actually need very difficult.

There are some screen shots of the admin area at the bottom of this page.

If you would like to have a look at our demonstration site and see how easy to use the admin area is, please contact us and we will be pleased to provide you with a username and password.

The software we have developed for you incorporates the following features (and a few more!):

• Very easy to use admin area
• Fully integrated with WorldPay and SagePay (formerly PROTX) for payment processing
• Optimised for Search Engine friendliness - individual SEO keywords, description etc per product; automatic generation of Google-friendly static html product map page
• Full product search on main website

• Products can be set as 'Special Offers' and/or 'Featured Products' to be picked out on other areas of your site without having to move them from their proper category
• Orders placed automatically send e-mails to the customer and website owner
• Order status for individual orders can be updated in the admin area (e.g. Order Placed->Order Sent etc)

Setup of your online shop

We will design the look and feel of your website with you - how you want it - and install and configure your online shop software for you. Because we wrote the e-commerce software ourselves, there's no template we have to stick to, so you can have the various elements of your site (such as site search, featured products, what's new etc) wherever you would like them. All you have to do is add your categories and products in the easy-to-use admin area, sort out your payment provider (we can give you information on the pros and cons of different ones) and you're up and running. - Sounds easy? It is!
