For many companies, the goal of its Web site is to drive visitors to buy its products or services. The natural next step is to enable them to actually make those purchases on-line.
Whether you're selling Internet firewalls or fireplaces, Manx can help you set up your on-line store. We use our extensive design and marketing experience to create easy-to-use, effective and visually appealing customized e-commerce solutions just for you.
Navigating Through the Web of E-Commerce
Anyone who's ever attempted to set up e-commerce can tell you that there are a dizzying array of options and components involved: setting up the secure sockets layer (SSL) to allow secure transactions, building a product catalog database, integrating shopping cart and purchasing modules into your site, to name just a few.
As with our Web site design services, we don't just offer one piece of this puzzle and leave you to figure out the rest. We're with you every step of the way, making sure all the components are in place for your on-line store to be not only functional but successful. We'll assist you in deciding which components you need and what products to use for each one. And we'll continue to monitor the performance of your e-commerce site and adjust aspects of it as needed, even after you launch.
Customized, Robust, Secure, Affordable
In the scope of e-commerce solutions, there's usually a trade-off to be made: either go with an affordable, simple solution which is barely if at all customizable, or an expensive, enterprise-level solution, which is customizable but difficult to implement.
At Manx, we give you the best of both worlds. We base most of our e-commerce sites on the tried-and-true (and therefore robust) Miva Merchant product. However, we make extensive use of its Miva Script foundation and open database to offer a completely customized look & feel. For an excellent example of this, take a look at our e-commerce implementation for The Zanger Company.
The issue of security has moved to the forefront of everyone's mind recently, and we're dedicated to providing the highest level of security to both our clients and to their customers. This is especially important on an e-commerce system which takes credit card information. We believe that a combination of features, including but not limited to the use of SSL and our Linux server, makes for an exceptionally secure solution.
