Houston Ecommerce Development

In todays markets, if you sell goods through retail or other media and you're not online, you're losing money, guaranteed. These days, more and more consumers are turning to the web as their first source of product information and purchasing. They welcome the ease of use and accessibility of online shopping over getting ready and driving around town.

Our Houston ecommerce web programming team consists of a small rock solid team of developers who are dedicated to custom programming your online shopping cart. As noted in our ecommerce web design section, we do not dabble in pre-packaged or open source cart systems. Although some of them provide excellent products, we feel the major disadvantages of these products does not live up to our standards for our clients. The major cons of packaged shopping cart software are security and flexibility. When a shopping cart developer releases a version of an online shopping cart, that shopping cart programming is sent out to thousands of web developers who install on thousands of ecommerce websites around the world. The problem is when a security flaw or hole is found in that cart software, there are now thousands of websites vulnerable to hacking and data theft. The web cart developers themselves usually realease patches in a timely manner, but the end web development team typically doesn't install security patches more than once a year. This varies depending on the quality of a web development firm you work with. Ecommerce websites simply are not “set it and forget it”.

The other important downside of pre-packaged cart systems is flexibility. Your business is unique, so why shouldn't your online cart be the same? Although packaged cart software can be hacked to fit your needs, the resulting product is just that : a hack. Our Houston ecommerce development and design team strongly believe you should have 100% control of your cart and checkout process from start to finish. You should be in control of how your online shopping cart looks, feels, and interacts with your customer.

All of our custom ecommerce solutions faciliate the Authorize.net payment gateway. We have chosen this gateway due to the flexibility and stability of the solution.
