A few notes:

The prices offered elsewhere, above, are what we have seen. Other variants are certainly possible. Items you often don't get told about right away by other developers is what they may charge to optimize your site or to assure cross-browser compatibility. For other ways to compare, see our posted savings summary -- we include such items in our service at no extra cost. Also not included in the above list is one year's free advertising in Baughan's Northeast Guide which you may receive as part of the Full Support Program.

Shopping carts are typically a rented service, paid through a high monthly service charge through other companies, including the need for a secure server to handle financial transactions. And then, if you ever move to a different server, you often have to rebuild your entire shopping cart from scratch. We do it quite differently.

First, with us you own your own cart. You pay for it only once, not many times over through a monthly fee.

Note that payment gateway companies charge a per-transaction fee to handle credit card payments. Our cart can be configured to operate through a payment gateway company, or you can process credit card payments yourself.

Our base price for a shopping cart is $325. However, if you need custom site design, it can run typically up to $800. (In the serious shopping cart world, that is cheap!) Custom application software can also be designed at typically $125-$150/hour additional (usually it is not needed).

Shopping cart support depends upon whether or not you want us to maintain your items. Our cart is configured so that you may make all changes quickly and easily from your own office without us. However, we will be happy to quote based upon your needs.
