What is eCommerce and why is it important? Well, eCommerce is the name given to online shopping web sites that allow people to buy products or services in the typical shopping cart style interface. Many companies will charge you in the region of £10k+ for an eCommerce platform, as they will make it from scratch, based on your requirements. Now this may seem fine to start with, but when you come to expand your online presence in the future, you may find that it costs you a lot of money to have your custom site expanded.

We use popular, ready-made, eCommerce software, mainly Cubecart, which means that we can spend the time on the look and feel of the shop, not the nitty gritty functions that enable it to do what it does. We offer a full Cubecart Design service as well has having a collection of our own Cubecart themes.

Using existing software also means that if you want to add an additional feature at a later stage, you can “bolt on” features and plug-ins that are made by us or any other developer. As we use another company’s framework, it also means that you can be safe in the knowledge that the security of the software is second to none, and that the safety of your customers is in good hands.

We can assist you every step of the way, from initial concept, design, and installation – right through to launching the site and planning advertising. We can also help with tracking, statistics and seeing which parts of your site are attracting the most custom. We run many of our own online shops selling all sorts of cool products, so we know what works and what doesn’t.

Our online shops are all designed with search engines in mind – you wouldn’t want an eCommerce site that no one can find! We can also develop the site, using link building and off-site SEO, to help you beat your competitors and rise to the top of the search engines.
