Full e-Commerce Sites

e-Commerce sites are based on Content Management Systems. We can integrate DPS payment gateway or World Pay (depending on your needs - World Pay is more suitable for multiple currencies and DPS more suitable for local currencies).

Our CMS solutions are for clients who want to take their website pretty seriously. They cost a bit more than our basic package (Contact Us for pricing) but they have limitless potential and functionality - as well as extendibility- and they look fantastic.

Content Management Systems are ideal for sites which require a large number of products or information to be displayed, especially if that content will be changing frequently.

We use the following CMS and Shopping Cart systems:

Joomla- considered the most advanced, adaptable and easy to use CMS available. Joomla is adaptable to the nth degree and because it is Open Source based, there are literally thousands of extensions which can be added to your site to achieve almost anything you need. A Joomla website will see you through the next 10 years and beyond as it is always being improved and built upon. Joomla sites are easily extended to online shopping sites with add-ons/ extensions such as Virtue Mart.

Magento sites- have the same attributes as Joomla above, although some are starting to argue Magento is even better! Some people prefer the Magento templates available to start your site off with. And Magento’s built in online shopping system is receiving wide acclaim.

You can view hundreds of Joomla and Magento templates at www.templatemonster.com

We can also work with Zen Cart CMS sites.

Hosting of these sites we find is best done with a large off shore hosting company. In our experience, most NZ hosting companies over price and under supply when it comes to these newer technologies, with many of them simply not knowing what they are doing. The large overseas hosting companies are fully equipped to host and support these types of solutions and their pricing is much, much better also. We can recommend some NZ hosting companies also and we set up and manage your hosting for you as part of the package.
