MGM Internet Solutions specializes in custom, professional Web site design. We believe that any features you need in your site should be fully integrated and customized to match the look and feel of your design whenever possible. This eliminates the need to link over to another site or display unwanted ad banners when using low end, pre-built solutions.

We can develop just about anything you need for your site, but here are some common, high end features our clients use.

Shopping Cart

The ability to add and keep track of items that a visitor is interested in is becoming a very common feature on the Web. MGM has built a completely custom shopping cart for its clients. It was built in a modular fashion so it can be developed to fit any clients needs, no matter how large or small.

Advanced versions not only track orders and customers but allow for the use of specials, advanced searching, accurate shipping calculations based on weight and location, full credit card and receipt integration and an administrative section that allows the Web site owner to add, delete and modify products in their online store through an easy-to-use Web-based interface.

Example of this feature:

Credit Card Processing

We believe that any features like credit card processing should be fully integrating into your Web site to maintain credibility and ease of use for your customers. To do this, we work with your bank and, when possible, CyberCash for the actual online, realtime processing.

MGM has an MDP Merchant Developer relationship with CyberCash and is experienced with every step of integrating online processing with your business.

Examples of this feature:

Database Technology

Databases are the key to most of the large business and ecommerce Web sites today. They allow the developers to create high-end features for site visitors and owners.

Our programmers are experts at developing databases and specialize in PHP and SQL.

Examples of this feature:

Electronic Newsletters

Studies have shown that one of the best ways of getting people back to your site is by sending out an e-mail newsletter.

We offer the industry standard in newsletter software to all our clients: Majordomo. This allows users to add and remove themselves from the list, and owners can send out messages whenever they wish.

And, the software does all the sending from our extremely fast servers. So, all you have to do is send one approve message to the software and the rest is done automatically, no matter how big your e-mail list becomes.

Sites with newsletters:

Secure Servers

MGM has two options for transmitting sensitive information through your Web site. The first is a free option where you, at no charge, can be part of our secure certificate. When someone enters the secure section of your site, your address changes to https://yourname.safeserver.com and all the information is encrypted.

The other option is to have us set up your own certificate at additional charge.

Sites with secure servers:

Weather Integration

Working with scripts from HamWeather, we are able to display data directly from The National Weather Service and fully customize and integrate the information into your site.

Example of Weather Integration:

Discussion Groups

This is one way to build an online community within your site, increasing the number of return visitors you receive. Discussion groups and guest books allow users to interact and have conversations, leave messages or post comments with other users.

Our custom discussion group software allows us to block profanity and can be limited to registered users or set up as an open forum.

Example of Discussion Groups:

Banner Ad Programs

Want to sell banner ads on your site? MGM has developed a customizable, feature-rich banner ad program that tracks banners by time, impressions and clicks. Advertisers have their own logs and control over their campaigns while the administrator has even more control over all banners and campaigns throughout the site.

Example of Banner Ad Programs:

Audio and Video

We are experienced and fully equipped to integrate audio and video into your Web site. For audio, we advise RealAudio or MP3s depending on the situation and for video, streaming RealVideo.

Examples of Audio and Video:
