Online Catalog Web Design

When purchase over the internet is not required or not desired, an online catalog is an option that many wholesale/retail/service businesses can choose. Slightly more expensive to implement than a shopping cart site, however cheaper monthly fees can save money over the long run. Data are required to be submitted in a spreadsheet or in a word-processing format for lowest pricing.

We can only implement images, descriptions, pricing (if applicable), etc. if we have the information from you. This is why we encourage the data gathering stage is done with Torchlight Design.
  • Torchlight Design will upload pre-formatted images, pre-made descriptions, pre-determined information, etc. from digital media provided by the client.
