An e-commerce site is also known as an online shop or e-shop, it allows users to purchase products or services using secure connections through the vendors website. Ecommerce sites have a protected back-end system; everything can be controlled from there. Usually this would consist of an admin system which allows the client to manage their inventory, view orders and assess transactions within the website database.

We design and create our ecommerce websites using both open source and bespoke solutions. When deciding which route to take, we look at every website individually, before deciding which solution is the best for your business; we first must look at the features you desire and the size of your business.

An ecommerce website is great way for making extra money for your business, below are some reasons why you should invest in a ecommerce site:

• Always open! 24 hours, 7 days a week without fail.
• You reach new audiences; your website reaches a worldwide audience.
• It runs itself, no staff to pay and it doesn’t get sick or take holidays.
• You are better able to analyse your business trends and create reports.

All our ecommerce web solutions can be integrated with any 3rd party payment gateway, such as PayPal, Barclays Epdq, HSBC and the list goes on. If you have an epdq machine (credit card swipe machine) we can put together a secure server, which will enable you to process the payments yourself using the swipe machine.

Managing your own Ecommerce website is so simple, the user friendly interface means even someone with very limited technical knowledge will find it straight forward. Filling out the products on your e-commerce site is just like filling out an online form, point, click and type. If you’d prefer, we can add all your products to your online shop for a small additional cost.
