integrated solutions

for online business, non-profits
and offline business

Don't lose business because your online shop is off search engine radar or hard to use, unsafe, unattractive or woefully out-of-date.

You could DIY and learn how to "piece together" an online store that makes you money and makes your proud. Frankly, it's a better investment & use of your time and resources to let a geek customize an engaging, user-friendly ecommerce solution that will significantly improve your bottom line.

Shopping carts make it possible to shop and purchase goods and services online. Some cart features are essential, like SSL certification for safe, secure online transactions. Others are amazingly helpful to larger merchants, like built-in phone orders, batch order processing or a customer loyalty program. Some are just cool. Others are useless or even worse, dangerous.
