E-commerce Web Sites:
Creative Infusions has a long history of building e-commerce sites from small ten item online stores to full blown manufacturing company online ordering systems containing thousands of items. We can offer full server provisions with secure certs allowing you the full resources for an extremely active e - commerce store (hundreds of thousands of hits per day) and also slimmed down versions on a shared hosting environment without SSL encryption utilizing Pay pal and other typical payment systems offering their own credit card purchasing back end shielding you from fraud and identity theft concerns your clients may have.
Currently, we offer many different shopping cart systems and tend to favor OS Commerce for larger applications. Billing on E - commerce is broken up into two main sections: hosting and the individual projects. These projects typically begin with the static pages being designed (containing contact information, etc.), followed by store installation, then store customization, and finally data entry (images, pricing, weight, text descriptions, etc.). During this last stage of developing your E-commerce web site, pricing follows the following guidelines:
- $1 per item
- $10 per image (scanned)
- $6 for each digital photo Creative Infusions takes
- $3 per image (digital)
- $1 per option per item
- color (red, green, blue,...)
- size (small, medium,...)
- various other options
- Up to five in each section included
- $.25 for each additional option choice in each set
- Travel expenses as required by clients
- Miscellaneous expenses per project requirements
- Recently, we had a client purchase specialized digital camera equipment
- Some scripts available have a cost not covered by Creative Infusions and licensing requires the client to purchase these scripts directly from the vendor. We typically do not use these types of scripts but some clients have needs which require them.
- Any equipment purchased by client may result in over all cost of development to be reduced with the agreement that Creative Infusions owns said equipment at the end of the project.
