What's Different About Shopframe?
A state-of-the-art licensed technology solution called ASPDotNetStoreFront
ASPDotNetStorefront is Shopframe's choice of e-commerce platform. With over 5000 stores using ASPDNSF across the world it's an obvious and safe choice. A constantly evolving platform, ASPDNSF already has a multitude of features, covered in more detail on the ASPDotNetStorefront pages of this website. Importantly the license cost is low, reflected in the competitive starting costs of our service.
Beautifully designed, individual, unique graphics for your business
The best way for us to emphasise this is to look at our track record. We're experts in Information Architecture and Website Usability. Our sites not only look good to the naked eye, but also to the scrutiny of search engines and the W3C, who recommend "semantically beautiful" websites. To you and me, that means the site's going to do well in search engine listings. And when we say "unique graphics", that means they really are unique, not stolen off someone else's site or bought from a template site. Our designers are the best in the industry. (OK, we would say that, but we're not modest!)
An email template design you can use to send effective email marketing campaigns
Effective emails require effective designs that are consistent with your website look & feel. As part of the standard package offering, we provide an email design for you to use with tools such as Constant Contact or Vertical Response, enabling the delivery of mass email.
Customisation of the standard package to meet with your unique requirements
Although ASPDNSF has unrivalled "out-of-the-box" features, it may be that your require something truly unique. Our team of UK based developers can make ASPDNSF do whatever you need it to do, apart from making the tea. Although we're working on that too…
Secure, SSL encrypted on-site payments with Protx
Every website we launch has it's own unique IP address and a SSL digital security certificate issued from a trusted vendor (Comodo Security Group). That means when your visitors get to your checkout, they're not hauled off to some third party site, which is unprofessional.
World class PCI-DSS compliant hosting with Rackspace with Verified By Visa and SecureCode built-in
There are a number of pages on this site dedicated to explaining why good hosting is rather important. Credit card fraud is one of the most serious and pressing issues of modern e-commerce, which is why Shopframe websites are hosted with Rackspace. These guys know what they're doing, and we love them. Really, we do. They help us offer a sophisticated and thorough hosting service to our customers, comprising 24x7x365 support including automated problem detection (and human intervention), intrusion detection (automated, with human intervention) and full PCI-DSS compliance.
Ongoing marketing consultancy and action to achieve increased traffic and conversion
Do you want an online shop that actually sells stuff? OK, first step is to get people on your site. Great, now we have to get them to buy something. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Yeah right! The reality is that it is not, it's complex and ever-changing. That's our job - leave us to get you success, so you just reap the rewards. Oh, by the way, what's our incentive for helping your website be successful? Simple - referrals (our good service won't go unnoticed and you're bound to recommend us to others), increased business in terms of hosting, customisation, graphic renewal (that's where we "face-lift" you website every so often) and the fact that you won't be so tempted to go elsewhere.
Automated feeds with multiple sales channels such as shopping comparison websites, Google Base and Amazon
So we've covered getting people on your site and then getting them to buy your stuff. This is similar but not quite. This is where you can sell your products through other mediums or "channels". For example, you can sell your products through Amazon.com. Did you know that? You do now. We can make this uber-easy by providing an automated product feed, so you only have to "add" and "edit" your products in one place. This is standard, by the way - you get this free.
Analysis tools for you to measure your success
This is dead easy, but many e-commerce providers miss it out. This is for you and for us too. We want to know how well you’re doing, so we know that what we're telling you is working. We use a combination of Google Analytics and our own metric tools to give you the best overall picture.
All delivered to you in a timely fashion and project managed throughout
Shopframe has an established background in creating and delivering bespoke software systems. Although we've historically specialised in e-commerce development, Shopframe's parent company, DCSL Software, is also responsible for creating and maintaining several leading online web portals and healthcare solutions. That means we're used to delivering projects on time and on budget as our customers wouldn't stand for it if we didn't. Any project we undertake is managed using PRINCE2 methodologies and done with care, respect and honest hard work.
All at an affordable price
Our prices are very reasonable and, we believe, low in this market sector. There will be a setup fee but NO monthly support & hosting fee for the first year.
