eCommerce web sites
In truth, eCommerce definitely does broaden horizons in terms of expansion but it's better suited to some industries than others. It would be foolish to dismiss eCommerce as a waste of money, you only have to consider the volumes of sales made by the likes of Amazon.com and the amount of people buying and selling goods on ebay.com to realise that you can genuinely reach larger markets. Having said this, eCommerce is not for everyone and could be an unnecessary expense.
Bespoke eCommerce packages
We offer sound advice on whether or not you should have eCommerce capability on your web site. All of our eCommerce web sites are bespoke packages built around either PHP or ASP scripting and a MySQL or SQL Server database. They are not 'off-the-shelf' packages that mean you have to compromise your requirements.
Payment gateway
We usually implement a 3rd party payment gateway to handle the actual transaction. This is because the security risks involved are handled by the other company.
Our payment gateway's of choice are:
However, the decision on which one to use is usually driven by your merchant account provider.
