ecommerce
Web users are becoming increasingly confident in buying online. It is now estimated that one pound in six is spent online in the UK. That amounts to a whopping £47bn in 2007. OK, so a lot of that is spent with the big names like Amazon, Ebay and Tesco, but there's enough business out there for you to grab your share.
We can help your business to start selling online and grab your share of the market. It won't take long, and it may well cost less than you might think. With an ecommerce website from WDL, and some clever cost effective marketing, you could soon be taking orders online.
pre-built software
There are a wide variety of pre-built ecommerce packages available. The majority of our ecommerce sites are built on one of these software packages, Jshop. We have been using Jshop for five years, and we think we know it pretty well. In fact, we've won work all over the country simply because existing Jshop customers, who love the product, have been looking for an expert.
The fantastic range of features that Jshop offers means that we are confident that it will meet the needs of virtually all our customers (although it may need some tweaking occasionally), and because it works out of the box, developing an ecommerce site using Jshop is far quicker and more cost effective than building a bespoke site.
Just because we use ecommerce software doesn't mean that all our sites will look the same. Jshop is completely template based, and can be made to look however you want. Just take a browse through some of the stores that we've built to see how different they look. If you want to learn more about features, you can visit www.jshop.co.uk and even try out their live demo store.
bespoke solutions
From time to time the requirements for an ecommerce website might be highly specific, or a little out of the ordinary. Normally we are able to build extensions to Jshop to cater for these needs. However, occasionally we need to build the solution from scratch. Our programmers understand ecommerce and security, and if your requirements are a little bit different, we're sure that we can provide the right solution for you.
payment collection
One of the most important aspects of any website is the collection of credit and debit card payments. There are two main ways of doing this; either collecting the card details yourself and manually processing the payment, or using the services of a payment service provider (PSP).
We offer the secure hosting and software required for you to take manual payments, and we also work with a number of PSP's. We are a PayPoint partner, and can thoroughly recommend their service as a good mix of value and reliability. However, we are equally happy integrating with your choice of provider, and have worked with WorldPay, Protx, Paypal and others in the past.
