E-Commerce for Your Small Business

Want to sell your products online? Apheus can develop an online presence for your small business in a relatively short period of time. We have worked on several different ecommerce platforms including PayPal, eBay, Google Checkout, Zen Cart, and Monster Commerce. We can help you choose an ecommerce solutions that fits your budget.

• Shopping Cart Buttons
  One of the quickest ways to establish an online presence for your company is to start offering your products through shopping cart buttons. Shopping cart buttons can help establish your internet business in a relatively short period of time. They are meant for small product catalogs and can be implemented on websites without using a database or costly shopping cart software.
• Online Auction Websites
  Another way to establish your business online is by creating an eBay Store. An eBay Store is a popular option for small businesses who want an easy way to sell products online combined with powerful marketing features. The downside is that websites built on the eBay framework only can have a limited amount of customization and there are many restrictions on how you conduct your business.
• PHP Shopping Carts
  When you need a more robust ecommerce program capable of handling a larger online store, using a program like Zen Cart may be your answer. Using PHP and MySQL technology, Zen Cart can handle several thousand products through a database-driven product catalog. Because Zen Cart is hosted on its own platform, you have greater control over its design and back end functionality.
• Hosted Ecommerce Solutions
  Some customers find using a hosted ecommerce solution is the perfect fit for their business. It frees them from having to deal with many back-end issues, programming concerns, and they are relatively easy to learn how to operate. Monster Commerce from Network Solutions and Yahoo Stores are both popular choices for consumers who want a low-cost hosted ecommerce website.

How Much Does it Cost?

We have developed ecommerce websites with as few as a handful of products to websites with hundreds of thousands of products. Each ecommerce website has a different set of requirements and prices vary accordingly, but we always charge a flat rate of $30 per hour for all design work. Some ecommerce websites can be up and running in just a matter of days, while others take weeks or even months to fully develop. We suggest that you request a free quote or call for more information.
