What we do

At umbrella all our e- commerce sites use the open source shopping cart solution called oscommerce, as we belive it is the best around and can keep the costs to our clients down.Umbrella will develop the shopping cart solution to your needs and requirements.

What is osCommerce?

osCommerce is an online shop e-commerce solution that offers a wide range of out-of-the-box features that allows online stores to be setup fairly quickly with ease.

osCommerce was started in March 2000 and has since matured to a solution that is currently powering 6,547 registered live shops around the world.

Today, osCommerce has been taken to the next level, moving towards an e-commerce framework solution that not only remains easy to setup and maintain, but also making it easier for store administrators to present their stores to their customers with their own unique requirements.

osCommerce utilizes Open Source solutions to provide a free and open e-commerce platform, which includes the powerful PHP web scripting language, the stable Apache web server, and the fast MySQL database server. With no special requirements, osCommerce is able to run on any PHP 4.1+ enabled web server running on Linux, Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows environments.

osCommerce Philosophy

Open Source software provides an opportunity for people to work on software with others that share the same interest, exchanging ideas, knowledge, and work with one another, to expand and improve the solution.

The motivation for working on Open Source software originates at different sources, which include working on the software for fun as a hobby, to make the software meet own requirements, and to bring commercial interest into the software.

It is this combination of motivations that has brought together a team of developers to successfully make what osCommerce is today - and what it will be in the future - and an active and growing community, with each person having their own unique requirements but ultimately sharing the same goal: to use the software and to make it a better solution.

Open Source software always remains open providing the opportunity for anyone that is interested to work on it, at any time.

Because Open Source software is open, it provides a choice. The choice to use the software, the choice to learn the software, and the choice to join, share, and participate in a community - a community full of enthusiastic supporters that want to see the software grow and succeed.

It is this very reason why Open Source software is successful, and most importantly, why it works.

But don't take our word for it take a look of some of the sites been developed by oscommerce:
