We are an OpenCart extension developer among many other things. One of the many things we do is customize shopping carts. Regardless of the shopping cart you have, we can customize it for you, whether it be directly modifying the core code, or writing a custom plugin for your shopping cart.

Our most popular shopping cart that we like to use is OpenCart. There are many reasons for using OpenCart, the most prominent being that it is open source. Open Source allows the ability to change any of the core functions of the cart, in essence even changing the entire purpose of the framework itself. This will give you the ability to create a site with massive amount of functionality without the high cost of developing one from scratch.

OpenCart plugins or extensions that allow you to extend the functionality of OpenCart. Regardless of what you need, OpenCart extensions will take your shopping cart to the next level by allowing you to add functionality that it did not come with by default. We can make custom extensions as simple as changing wording, to as complex as integrating physical real world machinery to automate your manufacturing business. The sky is the limit, but in reality, even the sky does not have any limitations.

If you are running OpenCart and need an OpenCart extension developer, please give us a call and we would be happy to make OpenCart do your bidding. Please keep in mind that we do support any other type of shopping cart as well.

In September of this year, Android caught up to Apple in dollars spent and in volume in the tablet market. Does this mean, organizations should favor Android over iOS when purchasing or when allocating their IT dollars for applications? Not necessarily. It depends on the unique needs of your organization, which includes its budget, brand needs, security needs, and current infrastructure.

If the applications that are used by your organization are cross-platform, then the number of choices is very broad. You might be able to choose from iOS, Windows 8, Windows RT, Android, Tizen, Ubuntu, or even Firefox OS. Otherwise, you might have to limit your selection if the application’s developer has only made a version for one or two platforms. On the other hand, if the app is a company owned app, then the organization has the option to make a version for the platform of its choice or many so that employees have a BYOD option. Again, it depends on your company’s needs.

If you need a cross platform app for light weight use or native apps that are better suited for tasks that require high performance, All Web n Mobile can develop applications for whichever platform you prefer. Nothing is impossible.

LinkedIn reportedly has almost 259 million users.

How does your company use LinkedIn? Do you have a corporate page? Do employees share articles, links, and follow business partners/clients? Is content shared between other social networks? Are you making the most of LinkedIn for your business?

LinkedIn is a great place to connect with clients, look for projects, recruit new superstars for your organization, network with professionals, and learn about your industry. This is true if your company is large, medium, or small. Just be careful not to give up content that could be better used to optimize your company’s websites. It is better to post links to your articles, share blurbs, and avoid duplicate content on LinkedIn. If you or someone in your organization authors articles, these pieces should be on your company’s site or your own personal site first. Otherwise, you are losing all of the SEO value to LinkedIn.

Having a blog or posted articles with rich content can enrich your website, improve your page rank, and help instill confidence in your customers. It is precious and you should treat it as such.

LinkedIn has its uses, and your company should have a complete and up to date LinkedIn company profile. If it is inaccurate or projects the wrong message, your customers and LinkedIn network will see it too.

Your content is valuable. Content is king.

When it comes to engaging customers and business partners, one of the most talked about channels out there is social. Many companies and organizations use Facebook, Google +, etc. to accomplish corporate goals for outreach. This is a good strategy for reaching some potential customers, but do not do so and sacrifice rich content or information that your organization possesses about its industry that can be used to help the company’s own search engine optimization. This knowledge should go towards boosting the company’s page ranking first, not the social network’s. Small snippets, comments, and links can then go on social networks. Also, informal communication can go there as well. Content is valuable to SEO and should not be given away.

Whether you are in a small town or major city, you can benefit from all the web has to offer.

Is your business stuck in a mindset that is holding your business back? Thinking that you should be a certain way because of the region your company operates in or because your business is in a small town? Not sure that technological advances can help you? Think you are too small to have branded solutions or a mobile strategy?

In retail, the old saying is, ” Location, location, location.” That has been true under many circumstances for many years because people preferred to buy things close to home, and businesses needed to have locations strategically placed where customers lived. This meant having large retail footprints and fighting for territory in and around where the area population was situated.

First, regardless of size, you are not necessarily limited due to these issues anymore. You can develop a brand and present it to a larger audience than who might happen to notice your store as they drive by. You can have a virtual storefront (a website) that can either tell your company’s story, help prospective customers find your business, make purchases, or all of the above. Plus, now with mobile hardware, customers can view your website wherever their smartphone, tablet, or mobile computing device can access the Internet. To take advantage of this though, you should really have a mobile optimized website to help make customers more comfortable and facilitate their ability to make a purchase from your company (website view should be styled so that visitors can use touch to press buttons precisely, read content effectively without having to pinch and zoom in, and access the shopping cart when done). Also, with mobile apps, you can send Internet push notifications to fans and customers promoting sales, coupons, and special promotions. Mobile apps can also help mobile devices increase the productivity of the company by replacing some scanners and input devices, while making it easier for associates in the field to communicate with the office.

There are so many additional opportunities and features that are available depending on what custom solution works right for your business. Custom is the key and important word. Why? Who defines your business? Would you rather someone else tell your story? Be proactive because technology advancements and the maturation of mobile has acted as an equalizer that allows small businesses to have the ability to scale their business up and increase their productivity and reach. Do not assume that you are limited. Your limitations may instead be a product of not knowing what is possible.

An HTML website template is old technology, although some HTML templates may be newer and use HTML5, but alas, they are not a WordPress (CMS: Content Management System) template. Old technology is mentioned, only due to the fact that in most cases you would still need a web developer to change the content within your site. A content management system is designed to allow you to make the changes without having the need for a developer to make those changes for you. There are other CMS’s that we support as well, like Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart, and many others. The same is reflected on those CMS’s as well.

It would be compared to replacing a motorcycle with a truck, and then asking cant we still keep the same body of the motorcycle?

What you currently have, and what you will get are 2 completely different frameworks and you would be to gain so much more power. However, this is not to say that we cannot convert your current template into a WordPress or another CMS template, but that would include an addition one-time cost of $600 (for WordPress, others may differ) to convert her current theme into the new framework.

The following options are available with any hosting package regarding WordPress:

1) Free – Choose a free template from the available free default templates.
2) $600 – Convert your current look and feel (theme) to WordPress.
3) $600 – Design a new basic template based on your business.
4) $900 – Design a new realism template based upon your business.
5) $1200 – Design a new realism template with animations based on your business.
6) Hourly labor rate – Stay current HTML template and have us do the modifications needed, when needed.
P.S. There is also the possibility of staying with the current HTML site and having us do the modifications needed (#6), however our labor costs can get costly when doing simple verbiage changes. Our expertise is software development and we can custom code anything you could ever want to do anything you would ever want without question. We would absolutely love to do the verbiage changes for you, however the cost of using us for verbiage changes may be prohibitive, therefore is why we suggest WordPress to allow you the ability to make those changes without incurring the cost of custom development for things such as verbiage changes.
