Professional OpenCart Designers and Developers
OpenCart is an absolutely fantastic eCommerce solution that helps users create a professional, functional store. It’s also open source which means it’s constantly updated to cope with bugs and fixes, and unlike other online shopping solutions such as osCommerce and Joomla (with eCommerce addons) it’s safe and secure.
Search Engine Optimisation is very important to us – after all if you could have a super awesome website that blows people away, but if it’s not found by people on google then you’ll be sailing some calm seas. Another great thing about OpenCart is that it’s really search engine friendly!
The feature pool of OpenCart is rather insane for a free e-commerce solution, it’s easy to use, flexibility and with how its made the custom requirements of customers is far easier to achieve.
Another key feature about OpenCart is it’s single page check out – which is incredibly shopper friendly and helps increase sales – no long boring check out stage with 4 or 5 different pages.
Also the CMS Function is something to behold – add and remove as many pages as you like – change your content or prices on the go (via your mobile phone or tablet pc) or via any Web Browser in the world!
A few of the OpenCart features are:
- Unlimited Categories

The bonus to using something like OpenCart and not a totally bespoke system, is that unlike your average “In house e-commerce solution” made by some Web Design Company is that it’s been widely used, widely tested for security, works on nearly all web hosts, no expensive ASP or PHP Developers to make small changes. There is absolutely no risk that if the web design company you choose ceases to trade or their developer has an accident or any down time – you can get changes to your site done – transfer it to another host or anything you want, and there’s a great deal of other companies that can help.
But what if you want specific features and feel that if you’re paying all this money for a non bespoke system isn’t right? Well, as explained above, bespoke systems generally are not 100% secure and tested among millions of online stores, they’re also usually made by a single developer often using tutorials as their base – do you really want that? Do you want a massive development time? When building an on-line shop with a pre-made bit of kit like OpenCart you don’t have this worry – there’s usually the payment gateway already made for that random merchant account – there’s a mod already made for that EU VAT Exempt feature you want (We know there is, we made it).
