ECommerce solutions

A website can do more than advertise your business. An increasing number of businesses are now selling their products and services online.  Large companies have invested huge sums of money to make their eCommerce systems work. And the cost has been worth it. At last count, Amazon.com sold over 20 billion (!) worth of products through its website. That’s a 20 with a lot of zeros...

Can selling products online work for your business too? Absolutely! Will you have to build a costly eCommerce site from scratch? Absolutely not!

Nova Media can help you choose from one of several open-source eCommerce platforms being used by small business websites around the world.  VirtueMart and Magento are two such examples. The basic versions of these sites are free, with additional features available to you as your website (and your profits) grows.

For example, VirtueMart is Free Shopping cart software that can be integrated into the Joomla Content Management System. It does take some time and knowledge to set-up, but the implementation cost is a fraction of that of a custom built online store. It is very robust and secure, and includes many standard features that are customizable to your product or service. Your online store can be open 24/7 and accept online payments in a fully automated manner.

Magento is geared to more extensive web stores and allows management of several stores in different languages. This product is backed by a professional development company that offers different levels of service, based on the customer’s needs. The basic version is free, but additional features are available as your website (and your profits) grows.
