| Three Types of NetSuite Web Presence |
|
There are three types of NetSuite Web Presence web sites: Internal, Web Site Hosting Files and External Catalog Site. Each have different features. Internal is used most often. All use the database for product information and shopping cart/checkout process. The main difference is where the product and informational pages are hosted and how content for the page is generated. Internal and external are mutually exclusive. Internal and WSHF can be used simultaneously. Which is right for you depends on your situation. If you have a lot of products and add more all the time then an internal site may be the best for you. If you have a lot of informational pages and will use NetSuite mainly for CRM/ERP with just a few, rarely modified products then Site Web Hosting Files could be your best solution. If you have tons of pages currently on your site that are well placed on search engines and that placement is crucial for your business then an External Catalog Site would be best as the URLs will stay. |
| Standard NetSuite Internal Web Site |

If you choose to go with an internal site you now have a dizzying array of templates and layouts to customize. We can take care of the ones that deal with Web Presence. Just provide us with content, look and feel ideas or designs and a "role" in your NetSuite account and we take care of the rest.
How long it will take and how much it will cost depends on what you need to have done and how big you site is. For larger sites with lots of products you should budget a few thousand dollars. (This will be significantly cheaper than you can find elsewhere.)

| Exclusive Customization for an Internal Web Site |
|
There are a few features we alone can include on your NetSuite Web Presence internal web site. These features have been designed and coded by us after extensive testing. Your cost for these features is only the time it takes for us to add it to your site. |
| External Catalog Site |
|
We are experts at NetSuite External Catalog Site, which is a regularly hosted web site with NetSuite inventory, price, shopping cart and other back-end features. Special NetSuite code (externally called JavaScript) is added to your existing pages that "call" your NetSuite account to get price and inventory information, as the page is being drawn. When a shopping cart view or checkout is desired only then do your users go to NetSuite generated pages. If you have a large web site or only a few products and want to get started using NetSuite as soon as possible, then an External Catalog Site is the way to go. Also, if your existing web site has good search engine placement for many different pages and that placement is important to you then an External Catalog Site would be a good solution, too. Once you move your whole site to an internal NetSuite site all your site's URLs will change and you will most likely lose your hard-earned placements. Also, if you have an existing web site with hundreds of pages, placing them within NetSuite may be too time consuming and costly. An External Catalog Site would be a good solution for you, too. Finally, with an external catalog site you have much more control over the look and feel and how your site is hosted and maintained. |
