E-COM Pro

Jatech understands your need for an easy to use and powerful shopping cart solution for your products and or services. We understand that your customers require a simple user friendly shopping cart to purchase products and or services easily. Jatech, with its extensive experience in website development, will satisfy and exceed all of these requirements through the development of a robust, scaleable website solution that will impress you and your customers.

Layout Design (Look and Feel)

• Default Layout (Included): You may select one of the 4 default layouts included in the shopping cart, to which we will perform minor modifications, such as adding a logo, or changing colors.
• Pre-Designed Layout (Optional): You may select from our extensive gallery of professionally designed layouts, to which we will perform minor modifications, such as adding a logo, or changing colors.
• Custom Design (Optional): We will create (from scratch) a layout design that is customized to suit your organization. You will supply us with examples of design elements such as logos, corporate colors or other brochure layouts that you want to incorporate into your site. This helps give our designers some direction as far as the look and feel of the site – e.g.: headers, borders, and navigation buttons. From this point we will create 3 initial layout screenshots. You can provide your feedback to revise/refine your layouts through 1 major revision and 3 minor adjustments to finalize the design.

The look of the overall layout and navigation will remain consistent throughout the site to make it easier for visitors to navigate through the site.

Web Development Software

The first section of your site will be the informational pages. Here is where you will place your information such as "About us", "Contact Us", "FAQ" and more. This will be very easy for you to update easily from any computer connected to the Internet using our Content Management System.
Content Management System (CMS): You will be able to easily edit, add and delete the information pages on your web site such as Contact Us, About Us, etc. You have complete control of images and text color, size, etc. on these pages. Should you require a change at any hour of the day or night, you will be able to do it quickly and easy using the Page Content Editor that we have developed. You do not need any knowledge of any programming language. We provide the training for this - if you can use the basic functions in Microsoft Word - training will take about 5 minutes.

• If appropriate the client will provide Jatech with their user username and password for their shipping provider and payment gateway.

• If the site is accepting credit cards online then the client will need to apply for an account with a Payment Gateway. There are many Payment Gateway providers and Jatech will be happy to assist you with selecting the best one for you.
