Compare eCommerce Packages
Please take the below with a pinch of salt!
We are making some big changes to the way we deliver eCommerce websites to our
clients - aimed at providing a better, more cost effective service (and an exciting SaaS model, too).
However, this means that until we're ready to make the big announcement, the information on this page might be out of date. If you're
interested in talking to us about your own eCommerce website,
then it's probably better to just contact us for the information you need.

To help you assess which of our four packages is right for your business, the
eCommerce comparison table
below shows a summary of the key differences between them.
All our
eCommerce websites
run on the same base software (our own
eCommerce framework),
but by varying the way we set up, administer and support
the sites we are able to cater to different groups of customers.
Whichever package you choose, upgrades are available from one to another - our solutions are ready to grow as your business does.
Our "starter" eCommerce package is aimed at customers who are embarking upon running their own eCommerce website for the first time.
Based upon your choice of eCommerce template from our range, the site is built with eCommerce system and avoids potentially expensive complications
such as the need for an Internet Merchant Account by empowering you to use a "redirection" payment system, such as PayPal.
The next step up is our "standard" solution, which offers extended functionality including integrated payment facilities
(requires an Internet Merchant Account), forming a key part of our strategy to offer powerful yet affordable eCommerce websites.
Following on from this is our "premium" level of service, which we describe as being ideal for those who have tested their business concept and
are confident that with the right tools, they will be able to succeed. All premium eCommerce sites receive a fully bespoke design and are custom made on top
of our framework, allowing for further customisation of the eCommerce software (extra charges may apply for new functionality).
Because this tier (and above) offers increased flexibility, we strongly urge customers with any special requirements (for example those wishing to use
our system for
Takeaway Food
orders) to opt for this plan. It allows us to customise the system so that a precise match to the needs of the business can
be obtained.
Finally, our "enterprise level" solution is aimed at those customers who already have a successful eCommerce business, but wish to improve
on or upgrade their online presence. Although we give statistics below for this package, the actual figures and costs will vary depending upon your precise
requirements, since as well as fully bespoke design and a customised eCommerce system, the heart of this package lies in it's dedicated hardware, prepared
to meet your requirements.
If you're having trouble choosing, or would like a little advice, why not take a few moments to go through our
eCommerce Package Selection wizard?
All you'll have to do is answer a few simple questions, and we'll suggest the right package to meet the needs of your business!

- Domain Name - Includes registration or transfer in of .com or .co.uk domains. Surcharge may apply for other domains. For domains which are already registered, your current provider may also charge you a leaving fee.

- Database Space - Some of this space will be consumed by the installation of the eCommerce software. Where Data Archival is not available, the system will automatically prune old data.
- Support SLA - This indicates the maximum time which will be taken to response to support tickets raised by email. We aim to deal with all support requests as quickly as possible.
- Email - Extra POP3 accounts can be purchased should you require them.
- Setup Fee / Monthly Fee - All fees include VAT at 15%. Setup fee is payable upon agreement (prior to commencement of works), and monthly fee is payable one month in arrears. All prices were correct at time of publication.
Fees are variable (those shown are the minimum values) depending upon exact customer requirements.
- Extra Charges - May apply if the agreed upon solution deviates from the standard specification. For example, we will typically charge a subsidy to add support for Internet Explorer 6. If you are likely to incur any extra expense,
you will be advised when you receive a quote.
