eCommerce Web Development
Our experience has taught us that truly successful eCommerce stores can rise above the competition with unique user-friendly functionality geared specifically toward their market. Our eCommerce web development team has over 10 years experience transforming Miva Merchant stores into high-performing online businesses for their owners. Our eCommerce Web development team will work with you to determine the exact requirements and functionality your store may require. We will then design and develop a custom full-featured Miva Merchant store specific to your market place. We have developed many best-in-class e-commerce stores and we can give your store the edge to get to the top!
Our Standards
We hold ourselves to the highest standards when developing your website. Using XHTML and CSS, we write your site entirely by hand to ensure that each page is coded cleanly and concisely. To ensure that your site appears universally consistent, we test your site thoroughly in all of the major web browsers.
Our Process
Our development process is structured enough to efficiently guide the project to launch and flexible enough to meet your specific needs. We include all aspects of e-commerce development into our process so that it will work for you whether you're just getting your feet wet or you're a long-time veteran.
Step 1 - Detailed Needs Analysis
This is where we get to know you and your company and determine the needs of your web store. We discuss various aspects of your store and make recommendations about how to best connect with your target audience. Upon the completion of the detailed needs analysis, you will be provided with a document outlining the specifications for your online store.
Step 2 - Establish Web Hosting
Upon completion of the Detailed Needs Analysis, you will receive a recommendation on the best web hosting platform for your requirements. Whether you start off with a shared hosting plan or a dedicated server, you'll have a seamless growth plan to enable your hosting platform to grow as your online business grows, without the downtime.
Step 3 - Prototyping
The look and feel of your website should be geared entirely towards your visitors, while also meeting your specific business needs. With this in mind, our experienced designers work with you from start to finish through a one-of-a-kind prototyping process until you're satisfied with your design and ready for the next phase; integration.
Step 4 - Web Development
This is where you get to see your store come alive! During development, e-Business Express web Developers will complete the process of integrating your custom store layout into the Miva Merchant Shopping Cart by hand to produce your new online business enterprise. The additional functionality will then be integrated into your store to complete the development process.
Step 5 - Quality Assurance
Next, our QA team reviews your site to streamline and make corrections to ensure that you have a rock-solid website. Your site will be fully tested in all major web browsers as well as all major operating systems to ensure a consistent end-user experience and all functionality works as planned.
Step 6 - Training
Prior to launch, a three to four hour training session is conducted to instruct in daily operations, maintenance and back-end administration features. Our training sessions with you and your staff will help you quickly become proficient in Miva Merchant store front operations and administration.
Step 7 - Launch
After thorough testing, your site is now ready for public release. As part of the launch process, several steps will be made to solidify the launch. Your order numbers will be incremented and all testing customer accounts and orders will be removed. If you had an existing site, redirects will be created so you don't lose your SEO rankings. When everything is in place, your site will be propagated for the world to see.
Step 8 - Support
