Quick Bio: When avEIGHT founder Micah Gold-Markel set out to create an online store for his t-shirt designs, he found the passion that would soon lead to a career. 12 years and hundreds of web applications later, avEIGHT has helped streamline e-business solutions for companies across Philadelphia. From prolific open source development to custom software and e-commerce solutions, avEIGHT’s team of experienced programmers work with you from start to finish to make sure your applications not only function correctly but are easily accessible for you, your customers and your business team.
Support: Web technology is both crucial and confusing. Your business needs to move at the speed of today’s tech landscape and you don’t have time to re-train your staff from the bottom up. That’s why avEIGHT not only provides excellent programming and integration; we are there with you as you get acclimated. With features like 24/7 e-mail support, in-office consulting and ongoing tech support, we can ensure that your system runs smoothly from the first day to the last.
Byte Merchant: For most projects, open source web store solutions work very well. But for a more customized e-commerce experience, the available open source programs may not provide the best solution. For these clients, we built Byte Merchant, a storefront point-of-sale system with a fully customizable e-commerce suite and an integrated credit card gateway. Byte Merchant manages everything from retail ordering to appointment scheduling and can be incorporated across a national or multi-national franchise. This avEIGHT-exclusive technology has helped FruitFlowers, LonniRossi.com and Ovations Salon and Spa.
Security: The more companies and individuals use the web, the more opportunities there are for cyber-crime to affect your business. avEIGHT takes security very seriously, protecting your business through several layers of protection. All of our e-commerce solutions are PCI-certified, requiring us to be checked quarterly for compliance regulations. Our help-desk network security can replace your current, on-site IT staff. And by replacing expensive paid server software with free, open source software, your company can save thousands a year while increasing security. Read more about our security philosophy here.
