GDS specializes in two classes of website, the brochure website and the e-Commerce website.

Brochure Websites

In a brochure website, customers are introduced to your company and your products and/or services, though they are not able to actually order these products and/or services from the website.

A sample brochure website would contain the following sections:

  1. About Us - this section offers information about your company's history, mission, operating philosophy, etc.
  2. Products/Services - this section offers an overview of the products and/or services you offer.
  3. Rate Overview - this section lists the prices you charge for your products and/or services.
  4. Contact Us - this section tells your customers how to contact you for more information about your products/service or to place an order!

Search Engine Optimization - In addition, you can rest assured that your website will be created with the most current search engine optimization techniques available. After all, what is the point of having a dazzling website if no one can find it!

Web Builder - Our brochure websites come equipped with an integrated web builder to help you maintain your website. This builder creates genuine HTML code, so it can be used on ANY web server. In fact, once the page is generated, the code is exactly the same as a webpage created with hand-coded HTML.

Our basic brochure design service starts at $175. For this rate, you will receive a custom designed website consisting of a maximum of 20 pages. You are, of course, able to add additional pages for a small fee. To see a running website that fits into this category, please visit our client's website at http://www.anewsurface.com.

When we design your website, please know that you own 100% of the design and code. You are welcome to do with your website as you see fit! We would love to host your website, but if you would prefer to host it elsewhere, that is certainly acceptable.

e-Commerce Websites

In an e-Commerce website, customers are not only introduced to your products and/or services, but also they are able to order these services from your website. An
e-Commerce website typically contains all of the sections found in a brochure website. In addition, an e-Commerce website contains the following:

    1. Store Information - this section gives an overview of your company's policies, such as shipping fees and methods, return policies, etc.
    2. Product Listings - this section will display your products and allow the customer to place add the item to their virtual "shopping basket".
    3. Customer Account Information - this section allows customers to log in to their account, view past orders and view the status of their current order.

    The Shopping Cart - Our e-Commerce website incorporate the Oscommerce shopping cart into the website to allow your customers to order your products and services from your website. After carefully reviewing the functionality of many shopping carts, we opted to use Oscommerce because we feel it offers the greatest flexibility to our clients.

    With the Oscommerce system, you can:

    1. Add, edit and delete products with no knowledge of HTML or web design. Changes are made to your product listing via an easy to use online form.
    2. Offer your customer's gift certificates and coupons. Each certificate and/or coupon is easily created via the shopping cart's admin center. When a customer purchases an item and enters the code of the certificate or coupon, the savings are automatically deducted.
    3. Accept both PayPal and Credit Card payments.
    4. Manage link exchanges with other websites.
    5. and Much More!

Our basic e-Commerce websites start at $275. For this rate, you will receive a custom designed website that is fully integrated with the Oscommerce shopping cart with all of the features listed above. You can, of course, add additional features for a small fee. To see a running website that fits into this category, please visit our client's website at http://www.giftsmadepersonal.com.
