Hi, I'm Stephen. I use BC because...
“It's a great product, integrating a shopping cart, email marketing, blogs, forums, faqs, etc etc with an online database and it's not difficult to understand, even for me. I've tried some other solutions, they were so complicated and didn't have such great support. I've been using it for 6 months and I'm still discovering more ways to use the system for my own business.”

Round Peg. Round Hole. Just What the Designer Ordered.
Your clients have a common problem - dealing with solutions that don't do enough, are too expensive or are too hard to use. With BC, we've created a balanced solution that gives your clients what they need - plenty of functionality, simply presented and priced right.
Complete Creative Freedom
Create your own masterpiece. Every part of the system is 100% customizable! Here's a sample of a few different shops - each unique look. It's hard to believe that all of these shops were created with the same system.
Be A Coder. Without Coding.
Our Web Apps feature allows non-programmers to build amazing functionality in minutes using a point and click approach.
Use XHTML, CSS, Javascript and Flash
Use any front-end technology you like, from java applets to flash games, javascript to CSS. In many ways, BC is just like your old hosting - we've just made a whole bunch of things easier. Plus, our modules and the code the system produces is 100% XHTML compliant.
Use Your Favorite Tools
You can use our Dreamweaver extension, Triangle, to work with BC from inside Dreamweaver. Editing pages and layout templates is a breeze and changes can be made immediately. If you're an FTP user, you can upload your web pages and files via FTP too!
Completely Rebrandable
Put your logo on the application. Put it on the log-in box too, and don't forget the weekly reporting emails that get sent out. Every touchpoint of the system is rebrandable to keep you firmly in the spotlight
A Central Place to Manage Your Clients
The Business Catalyst Partner Portal gives you a central place to create sites and manage your clients. You can even replicate sites (and all the business functionality) you've already created and want to re-use with a click of a button!
More Sites. Less Coding.
BC allows you to implement about 90% of your client sites without a single line of back-end coding. In a click of a button and a few days work you can have your client's new site up and running for them! It'll be cheaper and much, much less effort.
Flexible Billing
Who's paying? You, or the client? It's entirely up to you. There are two options you can take:
1. We invoice the customer directly.
2. We invoice you directly.
Faster Development, Lower Costs
Sites that used to take a month and cost a bucketload can be completed in a matter of days. That means you can make more money from each deal whilst saving your client real money.
No Infrastructure and Upgrade Hassles
BC is completely and entirely hosted by us. We upgrade every site centrally to make sure you've got our latest version. We also stay up at night making sure the servers are humming. So you don't have to worry about a thing.
