Find Out More About NEW osCommerce...

ELOADED and the all New ELOADED PLUS

Our online shops have all the usual shopping cart features and some very useful extras. Your new e-commerce web site will be built using our ELOADED version of osCommerce - developed by our in-house team of osCommerce experts and specifically designed for UK businesses. ELOADED is a loaded version of osCommerce, the popular open-source shopping cart software. The term loaded means that we have added many of the best software updates for osCommerce, while retaining the fantastic flexibility of standard osCommerce. We have also applied numerous bug fixes and our own bespoke development. As a result ELOADED gives you greater self sufficiency in running your online business.

"Expert osCommerce Web Designers"

ELOADED PLUS is our all new version and the result of years of experience combined with useful feedback from our existing clients. This version of osCommerce is aimed at businesses that need to do more with osCommerce. ELOADED PLUS has all the great features of ELOADED but with lots more software updates pre-loaded. These include: Use Google Checkout; Show upto six extra product images; Show Recommend Retail Price (RRP) and the savings; Show product options as images; Show a product summary table and related products; Batch order updates and export orders to a CSV file; Advanced Google analytics e-commerce tracking; Delivery Track n' Trace for Royal Mail and Parcel Force; Optional 'must agree to terms' and allow customers to purchase without creating an account and more.

Take credit/debit card payments online

As standard your new site can be integrated to the following payment methods*: Sagepay, WorldPay, PayPal, Realex and Nochex.

Taking payment is a key part of your online shop. Most customers will wish to pay instantly via credit card or an account based system such as PayPal. We recommend that you offer a number of different payment methods and allow your customers to choose. For example, you may opt to take credit card payments via Sagepay (i.e. taking the credit card payment directly without the need for an additional account) but still choose to offer PayPal, cheque, bank transfer or a purchase order payment method.

We can also integrate many other payment methods. Please call for more details. *A separate account will be required with the payment provider.

A Unique Shop Design for Your Business

"A Unique e-Commerce Website Design, NOT an osCommerce Template"

We offer a full design service only limited by the underlying layout requirements of osCommerce. We will offer guidance and suggestions about design. We may also show you examples or ask you to do the same. You may wish to co-ordinate your shop design to your existing on-line shop or your company's standard colour scheme. One of the best ways to evaluate our work is by browsing our recently completed projects.

"The UK Number One for osCommerce Website Design"

After the design discussion, we will then start hard coding your new site. Typically, your new site will be ready on our test server within one week. You could then be live in a further week if you wish - although many of our clients do decide to take longer. Not everyone is in a rush and we are happy to work at your pace.

"Ready in One Week - Go Live in Two!"

We talk to you at every stage and do not continue until you are happy with the final design. See our Step by Step Guide for more details on the design process. We will also add your first five products for you and if required talk you through the process of adding more. The software is so easy-to-use most Shop Owners will be up and running in no time.

Full Control and Easy to Use for the Shop Owner

You control the content of your site over the internet via password protected administration pages. From these pages, you can:

* Add unlimited products and categories (subject to available web space)
* Upload product images
* Add manufacturer's details, including logos
* Check and control the status of your orders. You can also use a declining inventory and receive an email warning when stocks are low
* Print package slips and customer invoices
* Email individual customers
* Generate a newsletter and email it to all your customers
* Edit or delete customer reviews of your products
* Have a 'specials' sale and show 'featured' products
* Add banner advertisements to your site
* Set shipping rates and taxes. Products can be tax exempt

All of these features are controlled via your shop's administration area using a menu driven system. This means that you do not need any programming skills. Alternatively, for the more advanced, you can add html code to your product descriptions and content to create something a little bit special.
