Platforms we Suggest

We aren't locked to any one platform. We believe that different platforms have their benefits and their drawbacks. When considering which platform should be used, the relative strengths should be considered. We work with all sorts of E-Commerce platforms, but we typically recommend these platforms for new projects.

For smaller projects without large product lines, specialty ordering processes, custom checkouts, or custom functionality, we typically recommend Shopify. It is simple to use, robust, and a good bang for your buck. Usually, Shopify is great if you're just getting started.

WooCommerce is an E-commerce platform built on the Wordpress CMS. It allows more custom functionality than Shopify and has a host of plugins but is not as robust as Magento and comes with both the good and bad parts of Wordpress. We recommend WooCommerce when you need light custom functionality and your needs exceed what Shopify provides.

For larger projects where you have more than 250 products, require advanced searching, ordering, shipping, order processing, checkout, accounts, etc., we recommend Magento Community Edition. It is robust and used all over the world. It has higher maintenance and development costs, so its more for established, growing companies.

For companies with requirements that don't fit the mold or need advanced or heavy customization, or integration with multiple third party/external systems, custom is the way to go. We can custom build you a system that will fit you and your organization like a glove.

Platforms we've worked with

When you've been in business as long as we have, customers bring you all sorts of platforms to work with. We haven't worked with them all, but we've worked with a great number of them. Here are a few of the more common ones;

For Development

We only use industry standard programming languages and databases so that our code is as flexible and adaptable as possible.

What Makes Us Unique?

We stand by our work

We offer a guarantee on all the work we do against any bugs or issues for 30 days. The majority of issues you encounter will be found in the first 30 days after the launch of a website or web/mobile app.

We're not just web developers

Sure we build websites but we can do heavy lifting like building web-applications, mobile applications, and software that runs companies. We also do Digital Marketing Consulting; helping companies optimize their websites for conversions or sales and plan and execute digital campaigns.

We only employ the best

We spend a great deal of time and resources hiring our consultants and staff. We like to hire smart, creative people who have technical know how. We're serious about doing great work and like to work with like minded people.

We've been in business for 20+ years

We're not going to up and disappear on you like other companies in our industry. We've worked with some clients for 11+ years and have grown alongside them.

We're more experienced technically and marketing wise than other companies

Most companies in our industry farm out the technical work of programming, UI/UX, and graphics but we handle it all internally. Unlike most web companies we have expertise in Digital and Traditional marketing which helps us make better products.

We don't outsource our work

Unlike other companies in our industry we don't outsource our work to subcontractors. We also don't offshore our work to cheaper, lower quality developers, designers, etc. Our focus is on quality.
