What our clients have to say
I would like to thank you for your great support and excellent service and from the rest of the Afridesign staff members. When I had to decide between Afridesign and two other companies, I for once decided to follow my personal feeling and not the figures on the 3 different quotes (like most businesses encourage their employees to do in an attempt to save cost). This just proves once more that you pay for what you get, and when it comes to professional service no cost saving can replace that. Although my business is still small, I have received the best quality service imaginable.

Ecommerce Website Database Development is a growing demand for many companies who have an online presence. The demand might be for a simple shopping basket or a complex reseller program. Whatever it may be, we have the expertise to implement a successful ecommerce platform for anyone that needs one.
Ecommerce Website Database Development & Custom Ecommerce Applications
You might want to create a full blown ecommerce website that allows you to accept Credit Card payments, automatically works out shipping costs and sends out the order. Or, you might just want to have a simple shopping basket that captures your customers' orders & then emails the order to you. No matter the size of your ecommerce venture, Afridesign will guide you through the process to make sure you get the ideal solution for your business.
Ecommerce Payment Gateway Integration:
Merchant account integration enables website owners who already operate a shopping cart on their website, to process Credit Cards directly to a payment gateway.
Afridesign is able to integrate with the merchant account vendor of your choice. It is important to choose a suitable merchant account vendor to process your Credit Card payments on your website. Each one will have its own unique set of requirements & payment terms.
PayPal has also now become a viable option for South African companies to use to process payments from international clients. Speak to us to find out about the right option for you.
Ecommerce Shopping Cart Website:
Add to basket! A Shopping Cart website can mean a number of things. Here are a couple of options:
Static Shopping Cart
A fixed number of products that cannot be altered unless you edit the HTML.
CMS Shopping cart
Dynamic backend that allows you to make changes to your products, i.e. edit quantities, description, prices, etc.
Both options can be linked to a merchant account vendor of your choice or you can opt to have it simply email the orders through to you.
Custom Ecommerce Application:
The beauty about web database development is that you can take a unique set of requirements & make them a reality.
If you need to facilitate the transaction of money through your website or application, or the purchasing of goods or services, then a custom Ecommerce solution might be what you are looking for.
In order for Afridesign to quote on a custom Ecommerce solution, you will need to supply us with a specifications document outlining your requirements.

Mobi meets intelligence with Mobi design & database integration. Mobi sites do not need to be "static brochure" style sites, they can be interactive, searchable as well as dynamic. They can capture & store details as well as give intelligent responses !
Mobi Database Development Design Includes
Mobi Site + Database

No. of Mobi Design Concepts:
2
3
Design Concepts are static image representations of what your actual Mobi site & structure will look like.
A single concept comprises of a Home Page as well as a Secondary Page layout. Depending on your chosen package, you will have either 2 or 3 design concepts to choose from.
Changes can be made to one concept only, however, you can bring elements in from the other design concepts.

Custom Design:
Your Mobi site will be unique and tailored to your company's needs and corporate identity. We do not make use of design templates or Mobi site builders. We do not believe in cookie cutter designs.

Phone / Device Compatibilty:
It is important that your Mobi site works well on most cellphone browsers.
We make sure that your Mobi site is compatible with the main stream cellphones.

Stylesheets:
The use of stylesheets helps with keeping your style consistent. Consolidating your styles onto an external stylesheet helps to reduce page weight. It is also in accordance with Best Mobile Practices.

Stylesheet Dependency:
Some older devices do not support stylesheets, and some users prefer to turn stylesheets off on their devices. We ensure that your Mobi site and its pages are scripted, so that if necessary, they may be read without stylesheets.

XHTML-MP:
We use XHTML-MP as the default markup for your Mobi sites pages. XHTML-MP ensures that your pages will work on the widest variety of mobile devices, as well as on normal website browsers.
Mobi Database Development Package Includes

No. of Pages:
5
10
The total number of pages that you can have with your Mobi site package. Should you require additional pages, a per page fee will apply.

Feedback Form:
A feedback form that allows visitors to contact you through your website will be included. A feedback form will be linked to your email address & all web queries will be delivered directly to your inbox.

Mobi / PC - Device Detection:
You Mobi site has a brain! Included with your Mobi package is a function that detects whether a visitor is using their phone or their PC to view your mobi site. Depending on which device they are using, this functionality then delivers the relevant content to the user, i.e. if they are using their phone, it will display the Mobi site & if they are using a PC, it will display your website instead of your mobi site.
Mobi Search Engine Optimisation Includes

Meta Data - Unique Page Titles:
Unique Mobi site page titles are very important for Search Engine Optimisation. A short, descriptive page title should be used for easy identification. Many devices use the page title as a default label for bookmarks, so your title should help to identify your content for the user as well as for the search engines.

Meta Data - Unique Page Descriptions:
Unique Mobi site page descriptions are very important for Search Engine Optimisation. Descriptions do not change the visual appearance of your website and can only be seen upon inspection of the Mobi site's Source Code. You might think that they are not important, but descriptions are one of the easiest and most basic of SEO techniques. Together with your Mobi Page Title, they help Google to index your Mobi site more accurately.

Search Engine Submission:
In order to be found by the search engines you need to make sure you are listed on them. We submit your new Mobi site to the major search engines.

Content SEO:
Content can play a major role in how well the search engines index your Mobi site. There are additional fees linked to our professional Content SEO services.

Image SEO:
Downloading images can increase the load time of your Mobi site, so it is important to make the Mobi site readable without images. This will allow users to browse your site in text only mode, which reduces download times & data costs. We assign descriptions to each image to allow them to be seen in text only mode. We also assign image heights & widths; this allows devices to leave space for the images when they arrive, which means that pages don't have to be re-drawn several times.

Link SEO:
Links can say a lot or they can say nothing. Link SEO can improve your page rankings with the major search engines. There are additional fees for our professional link SEO services.
Mobi Extras

Database Development:
Database development is about adding "intelligence" to your Mobi site. We will need a specification document in order to accurately quote on any database development projects. Additional fees may apply to certain packages.
