E -Commerce Website Solution

If you’re looking to set up an e-commerce website for your business that’s flexible, adaptable and can grow with your business, you’ve come to the right place.

The Stafford Website Company has created its own e-commerce platform; developing features to meet the needs of our clients. The result is a tried and tested suite with comprehensive functionality – and the scope to add further features to meet any unique requirement that you might have.

The core features of our e-commerce suite are listed below.

Manage products and stock levels

It’s easy for you to add, remove and amend individual products your shop. Products can be organised into categories and sub-categories to make them easy for your customers to find.

Individual products can be assigned unique product reference numbers, clearly display descriptions, multiple images and product options, i.e. size, colour, quantity, etc... A product inventory can be included, if required, to help manage stock flow.

Take payments online

We can integrate most payment gateways with our e-commerce model, such as www.paypal.co.uk, www.worldpay.co.uk and www.barclays.co.uk, and are always willing to look at new payment providers should you wish. The system will be designed to automatically calculate delivery fees on each order to suit your business model.

Manage Orders

Via a password-protected online administration area, you’ll be able to view and manage orders. The site can generate automatic emails to both you and your customer when an order is placed so you’re able to process new orders promptly.

Run Promotions

The system makes it easy for you to run promotions and sales – sale prices can be shown against original full prices, or you can use discount codes to provide reductions.

Manage website content

Our e-commerce suite has our user friendly, password-protected content management system (CMS) built in; allowing you to manage the text and photos on the ‘non-shop’ pages of your site yourself.

Optional features

From opt-in mailing lists to the ability to create and manage consumer accounts, a number of additional features can be built into your site to help make the shopping experience a pleasant one – for both your customers and for you! We can also develop bespoke features to meet your individual business requirements – in short, whatever you need your site to do, we can help achieve it!
