We have custom tailored websites for clients that include Doctors, Printers, Government related groups, Food Groups, Portable Toilet firms and more. Each one had specific and unique qualities that set them apart from their competition. But, it took a while to discover those things because the client was often too close to see them and their customers did not know how to verbalize what they liked.
Each sample that you see here represents discoveries in improved technology, functionality, graphic design or implementation. We invite you to contact our clients and ask them to tell you about us. In addition to the basic web design, each site also reflects the internal structures we use for SEO, based on market analysis, often using Market Samurai.
Not every client uses every account feature that we offer. Not only would that get expensive, but it would not be a good use of the client's resources. In every situation we seek to custom tailor your website to fit the demands you make of it.
Yes, our consultative approach takes more time and requires that you think about what you are doing. Why would hire someone who did less?
We can schedule a time to speak with you about your needs as soon as you contact us.
Joomla is a favorite with many clients because it allows the client to do Content Management. That means you can add articles, pictures special features, news stories or even RSS feeds directly into your site. You can also set your site up to feed news articles to people who want to subscribe to what you have to offer. It also has thousands of extensions available for specialty items such as photo galleries, community building, article publication, search engine optimization and more.

Joomla has several sophisticated shopping carts available. Many people like it because as an open source product there is no purchase price for Joomla.
However, don't be fooled by that. Joomla! a complex system that requires expertise to keep secure and running like you want it to. If you want a Joomla system plan on hiring someone to keep it current for system updates and for new modules as they become available. This is not a system that you can get your buddy to keep up for you.
In particular, the Virtuemart shopping cart is not one you would want to use without modifications because the real time shipping quotes need adjustment, maintaining store items can be a chore and understanding categories and how they impact what your cart will show your clients when they search for items requires some expertise.
Be sure to track your sales using Google Analytics..
E-commerce can be tricky. How do you offer a catalog of products to different clients with different needs? What if you have people who re-sell your products and deserve a better pricing structure than the general public? How do you maintain the integrity and security of your database without making the website so clumsy that no one will want to use it?
These were all challenges we faced in making ThankfulHarvest.com what it is today .

Maintaining an e-commerce site provides on-going opportunities to improve your product offering, excite your clients about what you are doing and stabilize your revenue stream.
In addition to custom tailored eCommerce packages, we can also offer Guaranteed Interspire Shopping Carts, tailored to your specifications. We offer a variety of merchant accounts
Shopping carts get more expensive when specialty features are added. We have built systems that not only process credit card transactions, but actually report back to EDI computers for order fulfillment.
Before you invest in a shopping cart, do an analysis to see whether owning the cart works to your advantage. Sometimes, leasing the cart on the a month to mont basis gives you a chance to see if the features that it offers match the type of business that you plan to promote.
By the way, don't let the merchant fee on the credit card processor drive your decision. Generally, you are going to pay someone to process your credit card purchases and that costs will work out to be just under 3% of the transaction.
For the small business owner, a feature packed and inexpensive shopping cart is Sunshop, from turnkeywebtools.
Not only does it offer real time quotes from UPS, USPS and FedEx, but it also allows tagging items for special sales, reporting of sales by groups and special pricing for buyers clubs.
Other features include:
