e-commerce
You can buy anything online from the Arc Royal to milk from the milkman; everyone has an online store. If you are looking to set up a store to sell online to your customers there are many opportunities out there from selling through eBay and similar market places, off the shelf store building software, through to bespoke site building agencies.
Most however present rather uninteresting catalogues that present an uninspiring shopping experience. They tend to have a 'one product type fits all' approach (with ex-army boots sharing the same 'product type' as an aircraft carrier!). They make critical assumptions about how a generic store should be configured and the result is that many stores end up looking the same. At their best they present typical onine stores with a catalogue as navigation and little integration with other information and articles and at their worst are expensive, complex and unextendable.
We base our solutions on Drupal commerce to provide a robust and secure online store integrated with rich content and social media. This allows our stores to present their products in varied and interesting ways setting purchasing opportunities alongside supporting articles and offers. The fieldable entity approach at the heart of Drupal enables us to tailor product types to your real world products and not shoe-horn various types into one. The infinitely extendable Drupal makes no assumptions about how you want to present your store - it simply provides you with a framework to create and extend your own unique site with out being tied to s single provider. What ever you are offering your customers you can do so along side your brand promotion, stories, news and offers without the typical separation of the store from the site. How often do you see a site that has a blog and a store separated as vertical sections of the site. You read about a product in the blog and then are left to 'locate' it in a separate store part of the site. With Drupal and it's commerce framework you can present your 'add to basket' links directly within a blog post, article or page or any content you publish.
We have in depth experience of developing Drupal sites; from the ground up and, increasingly, troubleshooting existing sites and migrating them to Drupal or developing custom module extensions.
