We love Magento!

Yes we do!
So why is it so good you may be asking? Magento is an open source ecommerce platform built on the ZEND framework which is the best PHP frame work available so from a perspective of stability having been built on that platform makes it work wonders!
Magento has many features which I could go on about for hours but I will summarise what I feel are very important to any ecommerce based company:
Profit report!! For every product you list you are able to enter the cost price so you can run a report at anytime calculating to the penny how much profit you are making. This is usually provided by your accountant but now you can do this at any time.
Easy management of orders this is key for businesses as the last thing you want is for it to be difficult to manage and process orders. There is a simple logic that Magento follows chart below explains:
For every state you can set statuses and you can filter these should you need to for example see all orders that are part shipped or pending payment for example.

Batch printing is another great one. Let’s say you have 100 orders in pending you need to print all the invoices in one go. Easy! Select the order status to filter those you need and press print a PDF is created containing all the invoices which you can send to print. If required the invoices can be formatted to paper with the sticky label you peel off and stick to the consignments.
So what else do we think is great?
  • Well we are developing a bespoke module that will follow customer’s trends and put in front of them things they like.
  • Wholesale customers & Standard Customer Accounts
  • Price Break Discounts
  • Static page control, basically means you can edit any of the website pages yourself
  • Flexible design implementation
  • Search keyword report and ability to define what they see per search term
  • Customer’s online watch who is shopping in real time
  • Sage pay module for those who send transactions in deferred state you are able to review the transaction details in the Magento admin and decide to release the transaction in the admin instead of having to login to sage pays control panel
  • Cheque or BACS payment modules
  • Products have a number of ways to be created in the admin and you can define sets as to how you want them to be and also in the order you want to fill the fields out
  • YouTube embed code.
  • Light box effect on images
  • SEO tools
  • Export of customers
  • Flexible shipping rate modules
Because this is an open source there is a massive community of users that contribute modules that are free to use and only require a fee for us to install and configure with your site. Many of the questions you may ask “can Magento do this” if not a standard module no doubt will be available as a contribution and if not we can develop it for you for a fee.

Facebook Advertising Coupon – What Happened?

It used to be that Facebook had many different promotions in which they gave out free $50 advertising coupons. Facebook Advertising Coupon is only getting from some hosting service that is include in godaddy Hostgator and 1and1, If you do a search for “Free Facebook Coupons” on Google you’ll probably see some results like this: Free coupon when you buy WordPress hosting through GoDaddy Free coupon when you setup a DIY website through specific website builders Free coupon when you “like” Facebook’s Marketing page Unfortunately none of these are still active. What happened is in mid-2015 Facebook tightened their hold on advertising credit coupons, likely in response to companies who were “reselling” coupons on eBay and Fiverr. As a result, Facebook ended many of these promotions. Facebook Advertising Coupon Facebook Ads can get expensive pretty quickly. There’s no secret about that. And with organic reach continuing to decline with the most recent algorithm update to th

Contextual Design and Development is the Driving Force Behind all Successful Mobile Applications

The time of ordinary custom web application design & development is long gone. Today the focus is on contextual design and development. It is the rise in the popularity of mobile applications that has provided the impetus for giving importance to ‘context’ when it comes to app or web development. Let’s focus our attention on mobile applications and why mobile applications need to be developed keeping the context in mind. Because they are used in diverse locations Let’s face it. We all love mobile apps because they can be used just about anywhere and at any given point of time. Yes, that’s right, they can be used in offices, on a train, in the kitchen, movie theatre and the list just goes on. So, the app needs to be developed in context of the location. Different users have different needs when it comes to a mobile app and these needs, in part, are determined by their location. For e.g. if a developer thinks a particular app that is in the process of being developed will onl
