If you want to make sure you can sell your products to whom ever is interested in them it might be interesting to take into account the accessibility of your shopping cart. Tradingeye is a fully-featured web standards compliant Shopping Cart & CMS, built from the ground up with web accessibility and SEO in mind. Tradingeye was born out a lack of fully-functional ecommerce software that would also comply with the UK DDA [United Kingdom's Disability Discrimination Act] and Section 508 [of the U.S. Disability Act].

Tradingeye is licensed on a per-domain basis and can be hosted on Linux or Windows running PHP and MySQL. We offer web hosting ourselves as an additional service, with packages to suit every retailer’s requirements.

If you arrive on the website and choose ‘Business’ – ‘Sole trader’ – ‘Iphone 3G S’ you get the opportunity to discover the new Iphone.

Since spreading costs is an interesting offer for a starting business, so we head to the shop to buy a new Iphone and pay the monthly fee. In the shop we were told that the “pay per month” formula was only available for private persons since they didn’t have any field in their computer system to enter business details. When we referred to the information on the website we were told that was just info on the website but they couldn’t offer that service in the shop.

If you create an expectation with the user on your website make sure you can realize these expectations in real life. The user experience of your products and company often starts at the website but goes on to the real world.
