Gift Retailers use a variety of site systems, but they generally fall into three categories:

1. HTML sites. These are limited, and require that someone with expertise in HTML website building create and modify each page. You cannot add on automated features. Building a shopping cart in FrontPage is downright dangerous.

2. Hosted Carts. This means a site that is created by a company in their webspace, that cannot be moved. (We do host your site, but it can be moved.) Solutions like Volusion, 1ShoppingCart, YahooStores, etc. They tend to be expensive if you grow much, and if you don't like it, you are stuck unless you rebuild. Most have strict page and function limits.

3. Site Builders. Don't get me started! They use templates that look like templates and that you can't completely change. They are "tethered" to a particular web host - that means you cannot move your site. If you decide to move it, you have to rebuild. And they usually have page limits, and function limits.

4. Full featured content management/shopping cart systems. Some people say these are hard to use - and they are if you are trying to build a site yourself with no help (they are great though, when you have skilled help to assist you in learning your part, and to do the hard parts for you). Functions vary widely between them, and it is important that you choose a good one with good security and good expansion options that is still reasonably easy to use.

What We Offer

We have searched out the best software out there. We have combined a Content Management System (for online organization and management of pages and expansion features), and Shopping Cart, with other items into a single integrated system. We got them all working together to provide a structure that does everything you want it to do.

All of the elements are well-supported, reputable software. The security risks are as low as they can possibly be for a low cost website. All of the pieces are good software that updates easily, and which is designed to be sustainable for small businesses. The system is expansible, and has a huge degree of flexibility.

You won't have to fuss over learning how to do stuff on your own, because we teach you. You won't have to wonder when you aren't sure a marketing tactic is a good idea, because we are there to advise you. All of the things you need are in one place, under a single set of fees, and a single login.

When you pay your monthly maintenance fee, you don't just throw money down a hole. You get a partner who is there to assist you any time you run into a problem. Statistically, our clients who pay a maintenance fee are far more successful in their businesses than those who do not, and largely because we help them when they run into roadblocks or just can't figure out how to move forward.

What you GET, is a complete website solution that has all the parts you need, and which can have more parts added later if you grow enough to need them.

You save money, you are more successful with your business, and your site just works.

There's no charge to talk to us ahead of time - so feel free to call us or email to ask all the questions you like.
