I'm looking for a recommendation on a design company that can put together something beyond your basic "survival site".

Any takers?

What's a survival site?

What's a survival site?

I have never heard that term, but based on what I have heard clients say before... its a simple base website that is cheap and is not upgradable. Basically just a splash page for the most part.

Yep, you got it. I'm all about getting a bargain, but I'd like to have a site that isn't an "out of the box" template basic site. Thanks guys for your help.

Hey I sent you an email. If you just let me know what features you want on your site, I'll toss you a deal since you are a part of the forums.

That would be great. I'm looking to have a site that
1. Is easy to update with new products
2. Shows a few pictures and color options (if applicable)
3. Will handle unique discount codes and track their usage and success
4. Has a cool design and functionality
5. Will have a testimonial page with pictures that can rotate in and out
6. A map that shows where our fans are located all over the world
7. SEO search friendly
8. General categories (guys/girls/kids) with the ability to add sub-categories (new arrivals, practice wear, etc)
9. Upsell at checkout option
10. Integrate my current merchant account

That's everything I can think of for now.... Am I leaving anything out?

Thanks
Chris

9. Upsell at checkout option

That's one of the most overlooked features in the current shopping cart market. Not enough shopping carts have this as a standard feature.

It's a great way to sell smaller ticket items that relate to your products (stickers/keychains)

Rodney,

You are way too right. It is something that really has to be custom done in most cases. A few shopping carts do it, but it is pretty rare now-a-days.

It is something that we always pitch to clients as a passive way to make additional sales. Companies like Amazon.com do it and it really does help build up their profits with higher profit items.

Yeah, thanks for the feedback. I'm a sucker for that as a consumer (even mentos at the airport magazine store). Been thinking of adding greeting cards & calendars.
