Design

At 3 Legs Internet we think your website should reflect your business which is why all our websites are a custom design. We take your branding, sites you like and don’t link to produce a design idea just for you. These designs are also fully mobile responsive.

Depending on your budget, and size of website, we have a variety of different levels of design service to make sure you get the right site to promote your business.

Content

Content is the most important part of any website and we will work with you to get the best out of this for your budget. Form whether you supply all the finished content directly through to a full content generation service, simply tell us how much or how little you need us to do.

Once you have your content we have a series of different page content layout options to better display the content on the website.

Content Management

All our websites are built using our own in-house developed Content Management System (CMS). This allows use to quickly and efficiently build your website. Since this is our own CMS it allows us to make site specific customisations to meet your specific projects needs. Once built, for a monthly service fee, you can then use the CMS to manage and maintain your site directly.

Shopping Cart & Payment

In order to manage and process orders for your website we have developed our own web-based Shopping Cart system. This system allows you to manage the products and categories on your website, maintains the basket for the shopper and then processes the checkout collection delivery details and applying the relevant delivery charge. Shoppers are then sent to one of the supported payment providers to make card payment to complete their purchase.

There are many different e-commerce software systems available, each supporting different payment providers. For Isle of Man based businesses this can be an issue as many of the big international payment providers don't accept Isle of Man based business customers.

We support PayPal but you will also need a VISA & Mastercard approved Payment Provider for those customers who do not wish to pay by PayPal. We currently have support for Trust Payments who can provide both the merchant account and payment gateway for online card payment.
