Mackenzies Chocolates

Santa Cruz, CA | E-Commerce Solution

Mackenzies Chocolates, a purveyor of fine specialty chocolates in Santa Cruz, CA, came to us because they wanted to expand their bricks-and-morter business to the web.

We developed a customized storefront solution for them, based on BVSoftware's BVC eCommerce award winning storefront software. While working with Mackenzies Chocolates, we paid special attention to how our new solution was going to integrate with their business and taught them what they needed to know to manage their new storefront themselves.

Their new system was launched in Oct of 2005. We provide web hosting and system monitoring for them. If you'd like to find out more about our web storefront services, to setup your own storefront or upgrade from an aging storefront system, please contact us.
