    starter store package... £499
    As a web developer we have always frowned at the use of templates to create websites and ecommerce shops. With the competitiveness of the market on the web, we believe it is vital to long term success to create a website based on your individual branding, to reflect your business. However we have had a huge amount of interest in our stores by smaller / start up businesses and Ebay sellers looking to launch an online store without the initial costs of a full custom design. So our ecommerce store starter package was born.....

    We have spent sometime finding the right solution which is true to our 'unique branding' beliefs, but with the lower start up costs that has been requested so often. There are plenty of 'template' website/stores on the market nowadays but we believe our starter stores offer our customers the initial benefit of lower costs, with the long term flexibility to improve the starter store as their requirement grows.

    Fundamental to our starter store is that they are all built on exactly the same software in exactly the same way as our custom design package. The only difference is the design. We have produced a choice of layout / designs for our starter stores which allows for the reduction in costs. The designs of course are very professional (these have of course been designed by us) and in fact many store owners will see these as a massive improvement on what they may have at the moment already, but importantly to us you can (at anytime) upgrade your starter store to a custom design for the price difference in the packages. This gives you the opportunity to get familiar with the store, load your products on, get up and trading and marketing your store. We can then at anytime in the future undergo our re-design services for you, and without any disruption to your store or customers, we can replace your starter store design with your new unique branding and layout.

    We believe this gives our customers both the benefits of the initial reduction in costs to help get up and running, with the knowledge that as you grow we can take your store to the next level, without any additional work needed from you. That's right, you wont have to change a thing... the products, orders, customers, admin system etc.. will all be exactly the same, it will simply be the customer facing pages that will get instantly upgraded to your new design. Together with our commitment to offer one off prices for our stores, rather than monthly charges which sky rocket the long term costs of owning your store, we are confident that we now have a ecommerce store package to suit everyone.

    Select one of the designs below to view a working example of our starter stores. Included in the price is everything that you need to get you up and running for the first 12 months (unlimited hosting, domain name, unlimited email addresses, unlimited products / use of your store etc.... as well as a dedicated account manager to help you get up and running and support you). After the first year we offer continued hosting and support for an annual fee of £100. We also include a change in colour scheme to your requirements and of course change to the banner, and the name/logo in the header as well as full set up of your store settings / shipping methods...... and remember you can be up and running within 48 hours !!
