X-Cart is such a lovable php e-commerce platform, that it offers merchants excellent add-ons and customizations, PCI compliance and variety of professional designs. However, this can come at a price.
While it’s true that the Internet has created wonderful opportunities for new businesses to form and grow, and for existing businesses to expand; effectively running most good websites online is a full-time job. E-commerce sites need even more maintenance than other website types and running a business, (without the web part), is incredibly time consuming on its own.
Most people just come to the point where they want to manage a business and not a website; and they’re tired of reading about SEO, dashboards and backends, updating, patches, PCI compliance and other issues completely unrelated to their field.
In fact, for most businesses without a dedicated IT staff; website and webstore maintenance is an unavoidable, giant time allocation.
When it comes to the web, it’s tempting to jump out there and try to manage everything on your own, especially when saving money is a concern. And the web caters to those interested in educating and equipping themselves to do greater things. However, just because a merchant can do it, does not mean that there’s enough time in his 24 hour day to become and expert at it; and then add it to his schedule.
Big Business IT
Most large businesses have good IT departments with features like:
- 24/7 monitoring
- On call support
- Data protection
- Security updating and maintenance
- Functionality and patch updating
- And the list is going on …
In essence, while an IT department manages that business’ entire computer system including the machines, the Internet and the peripherals; FinestShops will provide you with a managed IT department for your X-Cart store.
When you look at it realistically, unless you are an extreme technology fan or an IT professional, not only is managing your store not fun, it’s not a wise business decision. Every new issue requires that you learn some new term; read some article; call someone for help; or make several ineffective attempts to fix something before it’s really fixed.
