  • Integrated content creation and management tools - we use industry standard applications like DotNetNuke, AspDotNetStoreFront, Dreamweaver and ASP.NET to help you manage website content.
  • A secure section of the website that allows customers, partners, or vendors to log in for more confidential information and/or downloads.
  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - We design our sites to be search engine friendly, and will help you with the content creation, link building and marketing strategies that are a large part of a successful SEO campaign.

E-commerce Consulting and Development

  • Choosing an appropriate e-commerce platform.
  • Selecting a payment processor.
  • Securing your website and running weekly security scans.
  • Adding products to the e-commerce platform and training employees on the use of the software.

  • Customization of e-commerce platform (adding freight shipping, linking back to internal product database).
  • Help with PCI compliance audits.

Content Management
While all of our web solutions use content management as an essential part of the site's setup, we also offer customized content managment solutions that are designed to help companies better manage internal and external information. Features of our content management solutions include:

  • Providing users with the ability to edit information via a web browser.
  • Simple document sharing, with the ability to collaborate online.
  • Ability to integrate external information into a portal, such as news from free (RSS Feeds) and fee-based information services (Factiva, LexisNexis, Dialog, etc).

Our extensive experience in the design and implementation of simple and complex websites makes us an ideal fit for any company wishing to build or improve their web presence.

Sample Website & E-commerce Development Projects

Customize AspDotNetStoreFront for B2B E-Commerce Website

PROJECT OBJECTIVE:
Client needed the ability to display real-time freight shipping rates in order to convert more visitors into paying customers. While existing storefront software packages allow for realtime quotes from UPS, Fedex and other shippers, they do not provide support for shipping items greater than 150lbs, or palletized products.

SOLUTION:
We were able to find a LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping company that provided a webservice for obtaining quotes. Once we identified the webservice, we wrote custom code to integrate this shipping scenario into AspDotNetStoreFront. This enhancement has allowed the client to capture many additional website orders, some of which would have abandoned the cart because of the inability to get an accurate shipping quote.
