E-commerce offers obvious advantages to traditional trading methods. Running costs are low and your products and/or services are available to a world wide buying public 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We can offer you the full range of services you will need to get trading on the Internet. A StoreBuild.net shopping cart system will enable your business to reach heights you had never dreamed of... please select from the menu to the left to see what we can do for YOU.

No matter how good the back end systems of your web site are, if the site isn't attractive, functional and easy to navigate you are unlikely to get many orders. Your site must also be cross-browser compatible and search engine friendly to ensure you get the maximum number of quality visitors possible.

We put a lot of time and effort into the site design and layout, making sure that the colours and images fit your target audience.

Your site is there to sell your products or services so the buying process must be as pleasurable and easy as possible for the user.

Your customers must be able to find the products they want quickly and efficiently and once they have found the products they want the buying process must be as seamless and simple as possible for them.

We will build you a full shopping cart system so your customers can add and remove items from their virtual shopping trolley quickly and easily. The user will always have the option of proceeding to the checkout where they can finalise their order and make their payment by debit or credit card via secure server

If required we can build a database in order to produce the contents of your store dynamically (we can usually also amend any existing database you may already have).

The type of database will depend on various factors but commonly web databases are constructed in MS Access, SQL Server or MySQL.

Please contact us for further information regarding database construction.

This element of your web site can be achieved in various ways depending on your current trading position. For example if you already have a merchant account it may be that all you require is a system to collect the customer's card details via secure server. The payment would then be processed offline.

If you don't currently have a merchant account then you will either need to get one or use a third party to process these payments for you. The third party will usually charge a mixture of set up fee, monthly fee and commission on payments processed.

Another consideration regarding payments is whether you will need the order payment to be authorised and processed in real time (at the time the order is placed).

You can find more information and links regarding accepting credit card payments in our help & resources area.

We always prefer our clients to maintain their own site content wherever possible. Usually this is accomplished simply through your own web browser. Occasionally this is not possible for some reason.
