An ecommerce site, unlike a brochure/corporate
web site, will close the sale for you. The ecommerce
site is often the main tool in your business and you
rely on it for your sales revenue. There are many
flavors of ecommerce sites but the main goal in all
is to sell your product or service directly to the
visitor. Product ecommerce web sites generally are
more extensive and costly than service based ecommerce
sites due to more complexities of inventories, shipment
tracking, etc. Etchedweb builds custom ecommerce
web sites only . We do not use mass-produced
boxed shopping carts that compromise the quality
of your web site. Etchedweb's custom ecommerce web
sites are built on the leading technology of servers
and database products that ensure many years of
expandability and growth for you company as
your company grows.

A brochure/corporate web site is the simplest
type of web site and the least costly. Brochure/corporate
sites can be used for many purposes but in general
they convey information to the visitor about your
company, product, or service. These sites are great
for companies that don't intend on selling their product
or service directly online but would still like to
build brand and product or service awareness. Etchedweb
builds custom brochure/ corporate sites only.
We will not use pre-made templates to build
your brochure/corporate web site.

Pros: Inexpensive entry level web site,
quick turn around web site build, receive sales inquires
and leads, inexpensive to maintain, custom design
(Etchedweb does not use templates), easiest for search
engine optimization
Cons: Doesn't close
the sale, often provides limited information
Major factor(s) in determining the cost:
The custom design is the major factor followed
by the number of sections. Each section contains some
tailored graphics and slightly differently structured
text content. A 'contact us' HTML form is expected
and doesn't contribute much to the cost .
What are web site sections?
Sections are parts of a site. The following are examples
of sections: 'home', 'about us', 'contact us', 'products',
'services', 'press', etc.
Examples of brochure/corporate
sites:
www.marsh-heating-equipment.com/
www.aquatrol.com/
www.align-chiropractic.com/
