Its Professional Grade E-Commerce That Will Grow With You.
You Get The Power Of A Custom Webstore At An Entry Level Price
This is perfect for businesses with a limited budget that need an e-commerce webstore now. In the future when you want to expand website design, you know that you'll be able to create a completely unique and custom look and functionality. You're limited only by your imagination and budget.
Want Something Custom? Buy It And Change It. You'll Save Time & Money
Not everyone wants an out-of-the-box design and we understand that. So for all you 'page tweakers' out there we created a brand new, from the ground up, CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) framework that makes it easier for you (if you're technically skilled) or your designer/developer to make dramatic look & feel changes. All the look & feel formatting has been put in a cleanly coded and well organized CSS document. This will save you a ton of time over 'starting from scratch' because all the code has already been integrated into Miva Merchant! That means money in your pocket and your web site up faster!

*Custom design, security certificate, newsletter service, custom Miva programming and add-on Miva modules sold separately.
