Search Engine Friendly Shopping Cart Solution

Over the span of developing several e-commerce sites in JM Studio's infancy, we quickly realized that no one single prepackaged E-commerce solution on the market met all of the needs of our clients. So, we developed our own e-commerce platform. It's search engine friendly; it knows what google likes and dislikes. Along with an amazing suite of tools, our solutions will not break your bank. There are no ongoing fees or weird licensing requirements for utilizing our commerce platform. We'll design a really nice graphical 'shell' to wrap around the core of the cart, train you in using it, and provide ongoing support.

Features:

  • Full E-Commerce Solution
    1. Manage Products On-Line - You can easily add, update and delete products, change pricing, shipping, etc. via an online back-end administration area of your site. No special software required.
    2. Unlimited category depth - Although usability studies show you shouldn't create more than a two-category depth of your navigation, our commerce platform allows you to create unlimited depth of categories.
    3. Products can have unlimited drop down options (size, color ect.) - A product can have unlimited options, and each set of options can have its own pop-up link displaying thumbnails of the options leading to larger pics. The options can have their own pricing, or you can set each option to be the actual price of the product, if chosen, instead of adding to the price of the product.
    4. Customer Accounts. allowing customers to login to review prior orders. They can also view order status, and re-order past orders for ease of use. The best part of this feature is its optional, thus not forcing customers to sign up for an account to shop with you (unless you set it up that way)
    5. Up to 5 levels of pricing - repeat customers can be assigned to discounted level or preferred levels. This is a great wholesale tool. When a customer logs in to your web site, they will see the assigned price level for them.
    6. Printable product pages- Each product and have a popup link which creates a printable page.
    7. Multiple Images allowed per product - This can be a very powerful tool in several ways. It's a great way to show off different angles of a product, or examples of that product in action. Think of it as a mini-gallery for each product.

    9. Integrates direct with on-line banking from BofA, Wells Fargo, or Authorizenet.net
    10. Very flexible shipping options. Features include per-product shipping amounts, a shipping table based on total transaction amount, real time UPS rates.
    11. Product Search Tool - Searches title of products in your database and returns clickable product search results. Every good E-Commerce site should have a search tool.
    12. Promote products using Eye-Poppers and/or by placing them "on-sale" - This allows you to put products on sale, comparing retail price and sale price easily. Special animated gifs draw attention to your product on sale.
    13. Coupon System available - allowing you to give discounts using a coupon code. Imagine you have a box full of clearance items you need to move quickly ...simply issue a coupon code out to customers for free shipping, or a discount based on percentage or dollar amount. Also handy for a 'grand opening' of a site. Also great to use in conjunction with printed advertising. The coupon codes can have expiration dates.

Yellow Jacket Captcha - Spam Stopper

Yellow Jacket is a CAPTCHA™.

"A CAPTCHA™ is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human."

A common type of CAPTCHA™ requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen. A CAPTCHA™ can help deter:

  • Spam submitted through web forms (web mailers)
  • Brute force password attacks on login pages
  • Automated web form submission attempts

Yellow Jacket is an Object Oriented script written in PHP and requires GD libraries to render the image on the fly that helps web developers prevent automated registrations. We provide a live demonstration of Yellow Jacket at the bottom of this page. Simply type the code displayed in the box into the input field. Press submit to see if you typed the code correctly.

Yellow Jacket is designed to present an image with a challenge code for a human to confirm in order to process a submission form on any given page. Yellow Jacket is also designed to combat optical character recognition programs by compiling an image with a randomly generated and distored code that changes with each failed attempt. Without some sort of submission form challenge, a webpage is prone to attacks of repeated, automated submissions which leads to SPAM which ultimately leads to lost productivity.

Yellow Jacket is portable, fully themable and can easily be implemented into any existing PHP website. Installation and implementation of Yellow Jacket into your existing PHP website is available for a nominal fee or you can simply purchase the script and install it yourself. Please contact us for more information on how to protect your site with Yellow Jacket.
