Explanation and Details
DISC designs and builds business-to-business and business-to-consumer content e-commerce systems. We specialize in the most current, open-source content
management systems.
Your choice of an e-commerce system is crucial. Among the numerous criteria to consider when evaluating alternatives are the following:
- openness to search engines
- code options - open-source, standard, or proprietary code that traps you with a vendor
- ease of management and merchandising
- purchase or licensing fees and monthly usage fees
- customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities
- shipping options
- cross-sell and up-sell functions
- order tracking
- real-time inventory
- quantity and other discount options
- line-item discounts and taxation
- ease of updating
- ease and security of credit card processing
- customization of the check-out process
- database format (proprietary or standard)
- security
- reliability of the company or open-source community that offers and supports the CMS
Through years of e-commerce ROI tracking, web marketing pros have developed industry standard principles for designing successful e-commerce systems. DISC's
ten years of study and practice of SEM, ROI analytics, and Usability Critiques for Conversion Rate Optimization means that we will apply
these proven rules when designing and building your e-commerce systems.
