Go Big Or Small

Your store scales up or down to fit the viewport size of whichever device the visitor is using. The site itself scales too. Build the new amazon.com or a micro store for unusual boutique products. The design is completely customizable. Your store can be incorporated into a bold and contemporary shell just like you are seeing on this page. It's also going to integrate with a range of other apps, such as high-image e-blasting. Add some boing with modal popups advertising specials. Install customer chat. Better yet, build out a detailed and useful customer service section of the site. Allow customers to join as site members and receive store-wide discounts. What can you imagine? We can do that.

the nitty gritty

All you know is that you need a nice website because the old one sucks; or you've never even had one. It just has to work. You don't care how we're going to make it. But, for those relatively few clients who do care, see below. Maybe you're particular about the technology, and even have a preferred platform.

extendable open-sourced workhorses

These full-featured custom websites do a lot more than just sell. Your store can be the star, or a supporting player. You're investing in a powerful, extendable, customizable, all-around performer. Which can become many other things besides a storefront.

World's most popular e-commerce platform
World-leading open-source content management system

Based on the WordPress content management system, this feature-packed, affordable app has thought of everything. Worldwide, WooCommerce is the most popular way to achieve a custom-designed e-commerce site. More than 5 million installations and counting. Used by more than one-third of all e-commerce sites. The core application is free, but to get the most out of it you'll be installing a la carte paid plugins. Those annual license fees typically cost several hundred bucks. But, you only buy the mojo you need.

Most popularJoomla-based e-commerce platform
The versatile and powerful open-source content management system

HikaShop is Joomla's answer to WooCommerce. You haven't heard of it, but it holds an edge in a number of ways. In one click, add a complete store to your website, ready to go, nothing more to plug in, 100+ payment options included. Out of the box, sell internationally. Setup goes fast. Controls are simple and intuitive. Core functions included in the basic Business package ($100EU a year) will suffice for the vast majority of customers. The company provides excellent support, unlike WooCommerce (which offers none).

proprietary-sourced turnkey all-in-ones

These all-in-one, hosted, DIY website builders for e-commerce get the job done economically. A good option for those willing to compromise on functionality and custom design.

You just pay a predictable monthly service charge - albeit forever. The drag-and-drop layout and the control panel are intuitive and coding-free. The company handles the hosting and all the other technical stuff, turnkey. Our breadth of experience equips us to work with any DIY platform you like. These are merely four of the most popular.

pci update

don't do it!

There's an ax murderer behind that door. But, instead of chopping you into little pieces, he's going to force you to spend big bucks to harden your small-business e-commerce website. Which maybe is worse.

"PCI" stands for Payment Card Industry. The deceptively simple little moniker refers to a vast, hi-tech private regulatory system created by the Big Three credit card companies.

The system dictates ultra-secure hosting of your e-commerce site. If your bank considers you a high risk, they may force you to go through the dreaded compliance process.

It doesn't happen a lot, fortunately. But, when it does, it can be onerous, confusing and expensive. Hire us to help you survive it.
