Coventas is not a company that specializes in everything (also known as everything can company). We are modest at what can offer. And when we say that, we mean we excel in doing that.
To us, e-commerce is more than selling online. Like selling things the ordinary way, opening a store is a process involving looking for a location for your store, a name for it, determining things to sell, enhancing marketing strategies, having offers and promotions, rewarding your loyal customers, having your account audited and the list goes on. So how can you be satisfied by a not so customizable software the requires to follow its layout and way of doing business?
Introducing Phpmoney. It's our in-house e-commerce system that lets you easily open a store the way you want it to be. It's a powerful software with the following features that make it stand out:
- Template-based - Phpmoney is truly template based. Design the store to look the way you really want, not the typical 3-column design that almost everyone else use.
- Modular driven - need a specific feature? Just install the new module and within minutes you will have the new feature.
- Database vendor independent - you want your business to grow. When it has grown to a size large enough that the current database vendor can no longer efficiently support it, you need to migrate your database to some enterprise-level vendors. Phpmoney lets you do it on the fly. Just change the configuration file, as no part of the program needs to be changed at all.
- Platform independent - Phpmoney, as its name suggests, is built on PHP, the most popular server-side scripting language in the world. It runs on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS, you name it. Almost 100% of the web hosting services out there are PHP-enabled. So when migration of your ecommerce site from one server to another is inevitable one day, you are always sure that your site will continue to run flawlessly after migration.
- Expandable payment mode - don't limit your online store to just accepting credit card. Our expandable payment mode means you can decide how to receive your money. We support Paypal, 2CO, WorldPay, Google Checkout, bank transfer, cheque bank-in, just to name a few.
Our software development team members speak programming language better than their mother tongues. Okay, just kidding. But we do write good programs. We have experts in PHP, VB.NET and C#.NET languages.
Regardless of what projects we have, we always aim to fulfill the following requirements:
- Platform independent - when you move software from a server to another, you don't have to worry whether it will run on another operating system.
- Database independent - have the budget already and wish you could migrate your database from MySQL to Oracle or even Sybase? Our database independent design lets you do that in matter of minutes, not months. Rewritting the software or library is absolutely not necessary.
- Modular design - addons and features are added as modules, so that you can enable or disable them by your own. Want to request a new feature? Instead of hacking the old codes, we just have to write a new module for you to install it. And tada - it's done!
- Template driven - want to have a facelift for your web application? Know a web designer that is a true talented artist? We make your website or application template-driven, so he only needs to modify the template - without having to worry about accidentally causing damage to the engine - because they are stored in different locations.
- At cutting edge - so that you don't have an outdated design. AJAX? RSS? CSS? Our developers are always inspired to try new things. If those new things are good additives, we won't hesitate in employing them.
- Properly documented - besides PDFs and printed documents, we heavily comment our codes. When one day your in house programmers need to browse our codes, they spend hours in understanding them, instead of months.
- Versioned - ever seen a program that no longer works the way they used to be after a major upgrade? We version every single revision of our programs, so you can request to perform a rollback to any point of time. What about "2 months ago, the second Sunday at 1:23PM"? No problem.
The net is getting more and more important these days. Even individuals are getting website of their own. So if you think your business is small and having a website doesn't help, consider the following:
- By having your website, everyone in the world connected to the Internet has the opportunity to learn what your business offers.
- You can provide an easy way for anyone to contact you. Email is one of the easiest ways around. People can also save tremendous cost by not having to contact you via expensive international call.
- When people want to refer someone to you, instead of having them to memorize your length address and meaningless phone numbers, they just have to know your URL.
Our website design and development team excels in getting information from our customers and coming out with a website that truly belongs to you. By considering every aspects you give to us, we then design a website that has all the elements to make your website unique, instead of yet another corporate website.
