* The dynamic ecommerce stores are full content management systems, using php and MySql. They come with an easy-to-use admin area (with tutorials and full telephone and email support) which allows clients to upload and manage their own content. Pricing on dynamic stores is therefore for the design and development of the site, but not it's population. Should you wish us to upload all your content, there is an additional cost of R50 per product.

** Our dynamic solutions are developed specifically according to our server specs, which is the environment in which they are tested. This allows us to guarantee that they will work 100% in both the present and longer term. This is because dynamic sites created by us and hosted on our servers receive free (lifetime) basic support, upgrades and patches as and when these are required.

***If you are interested in our dynamic ecommerce solutions, but do not want to host with us, we will need you to check that your server specs match the following before we can accept the mandate:

Linux
Apache
Php 5x
Phpmyadmin
Mysql 5.x
Perl 55x
Image magick installed
Safe mode on
Root access or top level directory access

We will also need to know:
if register_globals are on or off ?
SMTP / sendmail server setup ?
Mod rewrite enabled ?

Your hosting provider will be able to answer all of the above.
