E-commerce

Launch your store in as little as 7 days!

E-commerce is becoming mandatory for most retail and wholesale businesses.

The Internet provides the fastest and least expensive way to launch a new business or increase customers in your existing retail store. Got a hot new product you want to sell to the masses? How about the world’s best selection of widgets? The following are some advantages that an Internet business has when compared to a physical retail store.

  • Lower startup costs
  • Lower operating costs
  • Shorter startup time
  • Virtually unlimited marketplace
  • Smaller physical inventory
  • “Niche” marketing opportunities

If that’s not enough reasons, consider that the Internet economy is growing at double-digit rates annually. More and more people are using the Internet to shop for everything from hats to houses. Its one of the few ways that small businesses can compete with large big-box stores.

We offer store development in multiple platforms geared to your business type, budget and implementation schedule using: WordPress (Apex), Shopify and Magento.
