E-Commerce

E-Commerce is an evolving element of the Internet where concerted efforts and associations with banking, credit card companies, fulfillment houses, and processing services are combined to enable secure On-line purchases for your customers.  There are many levels of E-Commerce;  from a single product item selling, downloadable document, downloadable programs, to highly complex sites tracking users, developing profiles and selling products like Amazon.com.  (Amazons estimated cost in 1999 was $5,000,000.00 !)  We are fully capable to develop small to medium size E-Commerce solutions in house and can arrange consultation services to engineer and guide your large E-Commerce solutions. 

Coordinating an E-Commerce project requires research & discovery and partnership mining relative to your project.  We are often able to coordinate that chain of elements using your current hosting and financial institutions or can arrange a review of other options depending on your location and current business operations.  Typically an E-Commerce web site is database driven.  Some options facilitate the development of your database and others will require use to build one for you. 
A nice example of a small successful E-Commerce website recently set up can be explored at:
http://www.NoColds-NoFlus.com  This small but effective E-Commerce web site cost around $300.00 to coordinate, another $300.00 in setups and account activations, additional monthly fees on top of hosting of about $30.00 and % for the credit card processing company.  Whew, there are a lot of cooks making this soup!  However, after all the coordination and setups this web now runs for around $50.00 per month not counting the Credit card processing % or taxes - Not Bad eh !

Your team at IDEAS works in partnership with several Internet E-Com Vendors required to setup and develop secure On-line sales for your business. 

Database

Database development is priced after initial consultation.  Depending on your need we can develop Access or for SQL server.  Oracle is another option.  Some servers will use "My SQL" and others are customized databases.  Data base development can be simple or complex depending on your material and objectives.  Simple development (based on Consultation), is $60.00 per hour Complex development & programming will be bid by web proposal. 

Database development Software

We work with several different software programs to develop a database driven web site.
