Consider It Done
The main thing we provide is a proper solution to the "complex product attribute/pricing" problem.
Giving you the ability to specify a separate price for each product size is easy. Increasing the price by a dollar amount when a different color is chosen isn't too hard. Lowering the price when 50 or more are purchased at a time is hard to do elegantly. Jumping into a whole new pricing scheme when the customer specifies the construction material (wood or plastic), type of paint (water or oil-based), protective coating and whether or not it has rubber feet, seems damn-near impossible. Not anymore.
Third-Party Tools
We use a few open source tools to expedite development. Some of which were developed by us at greaterscope.net:
- Autoform - HTML form generation and validation
- dbFacile - Database Abstraction Layer
- ORMer - Object-Relational Mapping
- PHPMailer - For outgoing emails
- Vemplator - Templating system
Additional Features
Freedom to customize AND get updates. Our product won't have every feature you're looking for. We are well aware of this and so are you. However, we've built things in such a way that customizations you make should not be broken when you update to our newest version. So you can add support for Google Checkout if your client wants it.
Every bit of text can be displayed in multiple languages. Designing for this from the start makes things a whole lot easier. We hope you find our implementation to be the best around. We've implemented this for the administrative area too.
A full year of free updates. Enhancements, new features and bug-fixes delivered electronically. Right now we're making the process easy enough. In the future we'd like the app to update itself.
We're friendly to migrants. We'll help you migrate to our system by converting your old store data for $200. (This applies to database data only: MySql and PostgreSQL only for now)
