London, United Kingdom - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - February 6, 2008 - Kronik Media is currently offering an end to end e-commerce service for smaller businesses that includes niche design, e-commerce software, web-hosting, secure payment processing and search engine optimisation, beginning at 400 pounds.

Web hosting and design for e-commerce small business is in high demand, as online sales continue to command an increasing share of total sales made by businesses in UK. Kronik Media has found that while there is no shortage of web design businesses and ecommerce companies offering solutions to small businesses in the UK, quality web design and e-commerce services at an affordable price are either hard to find or too expensive and far exceed the budgeted expenditure of smaller businesses. Outsourcing web design and e-commerce development to offshore companies may seem viable and cost effective. However they often lead to long term problems as it is difficult to get support and timely response.

Internet shopping among UK consumers soared almost 50% in the 10 weeks before Christmas, a report has found. Shoppers spent 4.98bn online during the period, compared with 3.3bn for the same time a year earlier, according to e-commerce trade body IMRG. Kronik Media understands that e-commerce is more than just having shopping cart software. Kronik Media focus on forming along term relationship with small businesses offering the same level of professional and responsive service usually available only to larger, established businesses. Kronik Media’s business model allows them to offer up-market e-commerce and web design service to small businesses at an affordable price.

http://www.amulya.biz/infrastructure.htm

3. ACT has partnered with two other companies and with that its service offerings have broadened and its expertise in delivering large scale projects has strengthened. Combined with the associate companies, it is a 350+ strong team with 3 strategic locations in India.
http://www.amulya.biz/group_companies.htm

4. ACT’s leadership team has also strengthened to a great extent as ACT has people from different functional backgrounds and who have been there and executed / transitioned / outsourced the big projects from US to India. Take a look at the management team.

They say that over time all web sites will benefit from these capabilities and with ESWPro, small business site owners will be fully ready to benefit. Hostopia plans to further embrace the features of Web 2.0 by integrating basic flash editing, RSS feeds and Podcasting enhancements into ESWPro this year.

ESWPro is available to Hostopia’s network of private label hosting partners, which includes over 340 Telcos, CLECs, ISPs and domain registrars.
