Creative Developments makes it easy to take advantage of e-commerce and to conduct business over the Internet. We know what it takes to create a powerful and profitable web site by implementing and maintaining your on-line storefront.

There are three key components to setting up an e-commerce web site:

The front end of the storefront: This is the design side of your store that customers will "see" on-line and interact with.

The back end of the storefront: Creative Developments can set up an on-line catalog development platform as well as a shopping cart program that will calculate sales tax, shipping charges, total sale and payment information that will be used in calculating and processing any given order.

The merchant account: Once an order is placed on-line, the order needs to be processed. A third party merchant account allows one to accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express as payment for your products or services. Click here for details.

Creative Developments handles all aspects of creating an e-commerce web site, from designing your on-line store front to setting up the merchant account specifications on the back end, integrating the two together using any number of merchant shopping cart programs, including "Miva Merchant".
