Shopping Carts and Ecommerce

With so many shopping cart options available these days, choosing one can sometimes be overwhelming. The professionals at Sedona Sky will make appropriate, budget-friendly recommendations based on how many products you intend to sell, how much control you want to have over the content, and overall design considerations.

Commercial Shopping Carts

Commercial shopping carts have fees associated with them that can range anywhere from $30 - $100+ per month. Each cart is unique and the features can vary significantly from cart to cart. So, it's important to research the options before making a commitment. We recommend a variety of commercial shopping carts such as Shopify, Paypal or Ecwid. We can also work with most other ecommerce platforms.

Free Shopping Carts

Did you know that there are some very good Open Source (free) shopping carts available that require no monthly fees? These carts are also very user-friendly and the browser-based back end allows site owners to enter and update products with little to no web experience. 

Free SSL & Secure Server

Sedona Sky's hosting package includes a free SSL (secure certificate) that you will need in order to accept credit card payments securely on your site. Some hosting services charge up to $150 for this feature.

Merchant Accounts

Need help deciding on a merchant account provider? We can make some excellent recommendations to help streamline your decision-making process.

Market Research

You wouldn't open a brick and mortar store without doing some research to find out how much competition you can expect to have and how much of a market there is for your product or service. So, it only makes sense that the same research is done before you launch your online store. Sedona Sky can help you determine the answers to some key questions. Who are your customers going to be and how do you intend to reach them.

Search Engine Optimization & Digital Marketing

If you intend to rely on being found in the search engines, you will need to invest in long term Search Engine Optimization and you should also plan to run paid ads until your site gains good organic placement in the search engines. Once your online store is complete, we'll help you put an effective plan in place to ensure your site is found by your customers.
