Auction Based

There are many thousands of auction sites accross the internet from massive 'do everything' sites such as E-bay to small niche market auction sites. Auction sites are a great way to enable customer to customer sales from which a reasonable commision can be aquired for each sale. We currently offer two options for auction websites:

Bespoke Builds

There are occassions when the only solution is a complete build from the ground up. This could be because you have specific requirements that open source can not provide, or you want to have complete control over every feature of the website. Gamma Meidia can provide a range of bespoke E-Commerce solutions to fit your technology platform or aspirations for the website. We can build sites on a number of different platforms such as PHP/MYSQL, MSSQL/ASP, Ruby on Rails. For more information please contact us.
