PSS Skincare is a new startup company. The client required an affordable website to get the advertise their natural skincare products while creating an online presence with e-commerce capabilities.

The client looked into several solutions similar to Yahoo Business that seemed to offer all of the solutions needed. Their slick advertising makes it all seem so simple. She discovered that the flexibility and price needed simply wasn't there.

I suggested the use of a content management system and an open source e-commerce solution. We found all of the flexiblity and price required. The client set up a connection with the United States Postal Service webserver that works with the e-commerce system to automatically calculate exact shipping charges for orders by weight and size. Prices and attributes are changed at the owner's will.

A basic shared webserver solution provides the server needed. The theme was a free theme that I modified to work with the e-commerce website.

All of this was created for far less than consulting firms would have charged. So much, that this new startup would not have e-commerce capabilities with the prices of conventional consultants.
