Think about the success of online shopping websites in recent years and you realise the potential of selling a product on the web. Known as e-commerce, if you want an internet business then you will need to set up an online store that gives your company the potential to thrive and capitalise on the limitless potential of online transactions. Basestation can help you establish a thriving e-com website.

Basestation has already developed several e-com websites. One of its preferred systems is Drupal Ubercart. This has been designed with the end user in mind as it focuses on usability in three key areas: namely online store configuration; product and catalogue configuration; and order administration. All of the major systems are easy to use for customers and they are straightforward to manage for website owners too with settings pages and order administration pages that are designed to make life easy. What’s more is that there is a community of Drupal Ubercart users meaning that if you do encounter any issues you can rely on forum support and a contributions directory with tutorials.

Drupal Ubercart isn’t the only e-com system used by Basestation for internet business, however. Another preferred e-com platform is Actinic, which is the UK’s leading provider of professional e-com shopping cart software for both small and medium size businesses. It has an easy to use Windows interface with a fully customisable store design and layout and a flexible product catalogue. There are several Actinic products to choose from ranging from ‘Catalog’ for basic applications to ‘Enterprise’ for large ventures with features including multiple user access control, advanced store merchandising as well as marketing and complete design flexibility. Whichever e-com solution you choose, your developer at Basestation will not only help you establish the system but also give you the confidence you need to use it going forward knowing that your business is in safe hands.
