Q. Do You Have any Examples Of Your Work?
A. We sure do! Let’s talk and we will send you some examples of our actual projects that are similar to the ones that you’re looking for. We don’t post our client’s work on our websites because every client that we work for has a confidentiality clause in their marketing agreement that prohibits us from posting their information on our website. We do this to protect our clients so that they aren’t solicited with SPAM calls, texts, faxes, and emails by rogue marketers looking for new leads. Unfortunately, this is the reality of our industry. There are a lot of spammers out there trying to sell you sub-par web development, SEO, marketing services, etc., and one of their strategies is to scrape web data (using Python) on marketing agency sites looking for new customers they can solicit. Nobody wants more robo spam calls, texts, faxes, and/or emails, as we all get too many of those as it is already. Talk to us to see some examples of our work.
Q. Which E-Commerce Platforms Do You Recommend For My Store?
A. In order for us to recommend the best e-commerce platform for your business, we need to know a few things like:
- Do you sell to consumers only (B2C), businesses only (B2B), or both (B2C & B2B)?
- How many products (SKUs) do you have to sell?
- Do you sell in the USA only or do you sell outside of the US too?
- If you sell to consumers (B2C) on your own e-commerce web store, you will most likely need to collect and remit sales tax once you hit certain sales thresholds depending on the municipalities that you’re selling in. Is this something that you feel comfortable doing yourself or would you rather outsource it?
- Are all of your products going to be shipped via UPS / FedEx / USPS / DHL or are there going to be Truckload or LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipments as well?
- Would you rather add, edit, and remove products from your e-commerce yourself or would you rather have us or someone else do it for you?
- Do you have images, product descriptions, and prices readily available for all of your products or would you need help with this?
- If you are shipping products to your customers, how are you charging for shipping? Free shipping, flat rate shipping, or real-time shipping based on location / box size / weight?
If you have answers to these questions, then let’s talk so that we can recommend the best e-commerce solution for your business. The 3 main e-commerce platforms that we regularly build with are Magento, WooCommerce, and Shopify, but we can work with other e-commerce platforms as needed. Choosing the correct e-commerce platform to work with is essential to the success of your store and we are happy to help you with this.
