We have built as well as managed the day to day operations of an e-commerce website so we know exactly what works and what does not work.
Business owners completely under estimate the learning curve, resources and people required to grow a successful e-commerce website.
In our experience, e-commerce websites are successful when there are one of two factors involved.
1. You have a unique product which isn't sold or found anywhere else
2. You have an existing offline presence such as high street shops or a huge database of customers or followers.
Otherwise, you are competing on a price basis with more established competitors who may also have deeper pockets than you.
Now, we are not trying to dampen your spirits or turn away your business, we just know what does and doesn't work.
Would any other developer even suggest this to you ? We doubt it.
We have prepared a downloadable guide to e-commerce as well as a document to help you through the maize of selecting a web developer or company.
Also have a look at some of the e-commerce websites we have built. They can say a lot more than we can. If you do purchase something from one of our clients and decide to do business with us, keep your invoice and we'll knock it off our bill to you.

We're as accessible as we are professional. Feel free to call us during office hours, when most of our competitors won't actually answer the phone, to discuss any aspect of your project.
