Ecommerce with a strong foundation

As the foundation of most of our shopping cart projects, X! has adopted what is arguably the best on-line shopping cart system available today - OsCommerce! Opens new browser window 

OsCommerce is a huge collaborative project created by a dedicated team of international contributors, who have been constantly improving the product over many years. OsCommerce is universally applauded by Ecommerce professionals; it is rich in features, extremely reliable, highly customisable, and well supported.

Designing your Ecommerce site; step-by-step:

  • We meet to discuss your proposed Ecommerce web site (needs, objectives etc.)
  • If "OsCommerce" meets your specific requirements, we start development using it's basic framework, otherwise we suggest alternatives.
  • We remove unwanted features (to simplify the interface), modify existing features (wherever necessary), and add new features (if required).
  • We apply a design (skin) to the site that complements your product or service.
  • We give you access to work-in-progress via a website, so you can see your new website as it is being constructed.
  • We migrate your existing database (or product list etc) to the new shop database.
  • We test it (with your participation).
  • We arrange the Domain Name Registration, Web Housing, and Search Engine Optimisation, for your website.

Ecommerce without OsCommerce:

OsCommerce is not suitable for all Ecommerce solutions. In cases where the client's Ecommerce requirements differ from shopping cart norms to the degree that OsCommerce is not a suitable Ecommerce platform, we may suggest the use of other Ecommerce packages, or where none are available, propose to develop the website from the ground up (including HTML, CGI, and Database).
