Custom website designs and search engine consulting for business and nonprofits

ECommerce

There are some excellent start-to-finish websites, sites like BigCommerce that will allow you to build a store. They're great. They offer you a choice of designs, the ability to modify the design to include your logo, and easy online methods of entering your products into their database.

There are two things to consider before signing up, though:

• Do you have the time and the (minimal) computer savvy to input your own products?
• Do you want to pay up front for someone to create a custom store for you or do you prefer to sign up with a company that asks for no upfront investment but will be charging you a hosting fee that's about $20 or $30 a month higher than you'd otherwise pay?

The answer to those questions will vary, depending on your requirements. If you wish, we can set up a custom designed store and handle all the image formatting and description inputting for you. Tell us what you want in plain English, instead of spending time clicking through menus. We have a special arrangement with a credit card processing company to give you low rates for accepting Visa and Mastercard payments online.

Sometimes, you don't need a full fledged store. Perhaps you have only a few products that you'd like displayed in an original manner. We can set up a simpler website for you, using PayPal, that minimizes your programming expense and maximizes flexibility of display.
