eCommerce
– An ecommerce solution, or shopping cart software, is the platform you’ll use to sell your products and manage your online business. Hosted solutions provide web-hosting and shopping cart software as one. The benefit is that you don’t have to worry about securing servers or maintaining them on your own, which creates a severe drop in initial start-up costs. Hosted solutions also provide continuous software updates. The drawback is that you don’t have full control over every fine detail of your store, but the functionality is typically there along with ease of use. Learn More…

CMS
– A content management system (CMS) is the collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual or computer-based. The procedures are designed to:

• – Allow for a large number of people to contribute to and share stored data
• – Control access to data, based on user roles. User roles define what information each user can view or edit
• – Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data
• – Reduce repetitive duplicate input
• – Improve the ease of report writing
• – Improve communication between users In a CMS, data can be
  defined as nearly anything – documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers,
  scientific data, etc.

is designed to perform more functions than just a simple store front, you need to consider using a content management system that meets your specific needs. EPW will work with you to find the right CMS system for your site. Learn More…

Forum Applications
– An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are not shown in real-time, to see new messages the forum page must be reloaded. Also, depending on the access level of a user and/or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible. Forums have their own language. A single conversation is called a ‘thread’. A forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: forum – sub forum – topic – thread – reply. Depending on the forum set-up, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently log in order to post messages. Usually you do not have to log in to read existing messages. Forums site provide a great community for prospective clients.
