E-commerce: take credit card charges over the web.
We set up the credit card processing interfaces and install site security. All you need is a standard merchant account of the sort used for any other credit card transaction. Visitors will be able to purchase goods or services easily, conveniently and securely. The money will flow directly into your bank account the next day.
Capture the sale while they are still reading your materials!
Product catalog/shopping cart: let visitors browse and select your products or services.
We build your own custom-designed catalog for your site to show your products and services exactly in the manner you need for their special characteristics. We do not use commercial cart scripts, and can acommodate featured items, different prices for different classes of customers, and up-sale items, among many other things.
You will be able to manage your own inventory, edit prices and products, set shipping costs, and change images, either directly through an administrative panel on the site or by export from your spreadsheet program.
Update it yourself: We can put in simple-to-use content management systems that let you add, update and delete the material on your site.
We can create on-line databases of any sort and we can give you the ability to populate them directly from your spreadsheets or databases on your PC.
If you need to do formatted text editing on your page content directly, we can provide several solutions. Among these is a full-featured editor with a user-interface very much like Word, but which generates the HTML code directly to format your page content.
Dynamic menus: Fold-out menus make navigation user-friendly.
Dynamic menus hierarchically unfold to more specific information on mouse-over and are excellent means of helping a visitor move rapidly into the site while keeping the menu simple to avoid confusion and clutter and improving the visitor's navigational experience.
Such menus can fold out to as many levels of sub-category as needed so that the visitor has access to the entire site from every page.
Moreover, we can make them change automatically to reference new categories, materials or pages as you add them to your site.
Registered users: We can create password-protected areas that are reserved for registered users, and we can provide for multiple classes of registered user.
Registered user may log in and manage their accounts, have acccess to special functions, receive special pricing or discounts, or any other sort of special consideration you need to provide.
One common use is to offer different prices to retailers and to the public from the same shopping cart. Another is to give acces to on-line materials or forums.
Fee-contingent activities: We can make actions such as registration, access to protected areas, download of materials, or any other activities available immediately upon successful on-line payment.
In cases of one-time access on payment we can create one-shot or limited-time links that prevent users from copying and repeatedly returning to pay-only pages and materials, or distributing them to others for free.
Download materials: Put up PDF or Word files, images, music clips, or other materials for your clients or visitors to download.
We can not only make it simple for you to upload such materials directly from your disk with a single click, but we can arrange for the site automatically to create links to the materials from pages listing them by title and date or other property.
User-entered items: Allow users to put up materials for free, or contingent on registration or payment.
This can fill a multitude of needs ranging from selling classified ad space to obtaining documents from clients to supporting community networking.
We can arrange for such posts or uploads to be visible to anyone, only to certain classes of registered visitors, or only to you, and can arrange for them to be organized by user or in any other necessary way.
Flash and animation: Either decorative or informative flash presentations, or simple animated graphics can be created.
Streaming media: Video or audio that starts playing with brief latency and can be of indefinite duration. Rather like a radio broadcast as opposed to playing a CD, there is no file to download and when it ends nothing is left on the user's computer.
Try it! (and then ask us about video!)
