eRetail+ follows a three-phase approach to developing your online store. Our objective is to ensure you have a working site that reflects the unique personality of your retail business at each stage.

You may chose to take the results from phase one or two and carry out the remaining phase(s) yourself, or you may decide to have us deliver your fully developed and implemented site to you after phase three, the choice is yours and you are free to change your mind at any phase checkpoint.

Phase One: Framework Design 

Upon completion of this stage, you will have a working framework for your own online store. You can add your unique design themes, content, merchandise and other information using the Microsoft FrontPage tools. Once these elements are added, your site can be published to your chosen ISP and your store will be live.

• We develop a custom store design and framework using Microsoft FrontPage and incorporating StoreFront shopping cart technology from LaGuarde.

• This framework includes the site structure, navigation and design elements needed to begin creating your own unique content in Microsoft FrontPage.

• Creation of basic web graphics for your company logos, etc.

• Domain registration (if you have not already registered it).

If you choose to develop the site further yourself after phase one, we will continue to work with you and offer advice and support to help you get your site up and running.

Although you can develop and implement the site from the framework provided in Phase One, we offer clients the option of having the site further developed within our program. 

Phase Two: Store Development 

Before commencing this phase, we will provide you with a detailed quote for this stage, tailored to your specific requirements.

In phase two we spend more time developing the look and feel of your site to your specific requirements and we add one or more of the following elements at this stage:

• Enhanced graphics

• Privacy Policy

• FAQ Pages

• Product Page Layout

• Product Database setup

• Forms design

• Popup windows

• Custom design touches

• MetaTag Generation

• Affiliate Program

• Community forum

Upon completion of this phase, your site is ready to be implemented. You may elect to carry out the implementation tasks in phase three, or you may choose to have us take care of them for you.

Phase Three: Implementation 

• ISP selection

• Credit Card Processing setup

• Publishing the site

• Integration Testing

• Search Engine Submission

• Press releases

• Champagne celebration!

After phase three, your online store is yours to merchandise, grow and manage. Our design makes this process easy and fun, giving you the freedom to concentrate on merchandising and not technology.
