Why E-commerce cost more..
The amount of time and labor that is needed to build a professional and secure e-com site is three times greater. We are not talking about a simple link to a third party payment system like PayPal or Google checkout. If that is all you need, then let us know and we'll save you $3000. The e-com site we are discussing here is self contained, meaning your customers never leave from your website. It can communicate in real time with UPS for shipping cost. It sends email confirmations of each order to you, your customer, and saves a hidden copy on your website as back-up. There are so many things our e-com sites will do and it's best if you call us for more details if you have questions.
Our task and fee's:
- We'll invoice you $300 with no commitment on your part to continue unless you are 100% happy with our graphic design, so you will know what your website will look like before we move forward with no fear of investing funds in something you don't want.
- Once you have approved the graphic design, we'll convert it in to the latest web code standards.
- We'll help you establish a web host with an SSL (secure socket layer), plus a payment gateway.
- We'll invoice you half of the quoted fee (avg. $2100) and request Send us your Text & Photos (content) for each page in digital format. We insert your content, format your text and resize your photos and optimize them for fast download. If for any reason you do not have content, please let us know if you would like a quote for a professional copy writer to be provided.
- Once we have your website able to go "Live" we'll invoice you the last half of the quoted fee (avg. $2100).
