eCommerce Websites from Mattched IT
Most Web Design & Development companies offer
eCommerce websites
(perhaps E-Commerce, ECommerce or "E Commerce" - depending on your preference), so we'd like to take a
few moments to explain how we tailor our solution to your business.
Traditionally three main choices exist for building an eCommerce website - open source offerings, such as OSCommerce,
bespoke services from a Web Developer or "website in a box" solutions.
Each has advantages, although a key issue (particularly for small businesses and
those not aiming to generate 100% of their revenue via eCommerce) is cost - open source often wins as it seems cheaper initially,
although it can be expensive in terms of the time that must be invested later on.
We have published an article about the
potential cost of different eCommerce solutions
which discusses this in more detail.
Mattched IT eCommerce Websites are different. We provide professionally developed, commercial grade eCommerce software on a
subscription basis
- think of it like a mobile phone. This allows us to continually improve our eCommerce software and deliver the benefits directly to our clients.
You can choose to start from either an existing design which you have,
our "starter website" which can be customised to your
specification, or to have a brand new bespoke design created. Then by adding an appropriate
eCommerce package,
you can get the service which best suits your budget and requirements.
This approach allows us to offer a level of flexibility not available in most "Create your own Website" or "Website in a box"
systems, by blending the advantages of bespoke development with the cost savings of a "starter website".
Because our eCommerce modules and Administrative tools are shared by all of our customers, we are able to provide updates and improvements
to the eCommerce framework at no charge to our clients - you only pay for your subscription and changes made to the website itself.
Our service is fully managed, with great support to help you reduce the time you spend working on your eCommerce site.
Although we can only do so much, we can certainly handle most of the technical tasks for you.
