e-commerce

Worldwide e-commerce sales are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and growing. Online retailing creates new opportunities, and threats. Developing and implementing an effective e-commerce strategy can be the difference between success and failure.

At Kuroi, e-commerce is both a specialism and a passion. We have worked for clients in the UK, continental Europe, the Far East, Australia and North America, applying our expertise to diverse markets and business requirements.

Despite our roots in general web design, e-commerce has developed into our major area of expertise, and our special passion. An increasing proportion of sites require some level of commerical fulfilment and integrating e-commerce seamlessly into a wider site is one of our key skills.

Our online cart of choice is Zen Cart. This open source package is both closely aligned with our standards-compliant approach and has a comprehensive range of built-in features and add-on modules. And when that’s not enough, easy access to its source makes it easy for us to create custom modules to satisfy specific client requirements.

Our e-commerce work is not limited to designing and building online stores. Our wider expertise enables us to advise clients on their overall business strategy and marketing of their site. In addition, we have experience of integrating Zen Carts with other applications such as forums, picture galleries and blogs to add community-based stickiness to online stores (or commercial opportunities for existing communities).
