Austin Marketing provides Internet-based marketing and promotional services for small businesses.

We provide affordable web design and web hosting, working closely with clients to create web sites that emphasize the services and products that separate them from the competition.

Using PHP programming and the MySQL database, we also offer catalogs at affordable rates, customized for each client. We can also provide a customized shopping cart that works beautifully with the customer's catalog database.

We recommend selling via PayPal for businesses just getting started with online sales. When orders justify the added expense and complication, we can help you establish a merchant account and take credit card payments.

If you need to let customers know about special events like bands or sales, try our online calendar. It allows the viewer to click on icons for further information, audio clips, band websites, and even sign up for an email reminder a few days before the event.

Web catalogs are a great way to showcase your products and services... even if online sales aren't your immediate goal!

Poor catalog design can do more harm than good. For instance, a large catalog can be a nightmare to update if you need to apply the same change to every item.
Finding an item in a large catalog can be irritating for your customers.
Austin Marketing   has affordable, flexible catalog programs which can be quickly customized to your requirements.
Your products are stored in a database, where smart search options make them easy to find.
Our designs let you add new products easily with no HTML or database skills. Amazing -- no web guru charges!
See that catalog on the left? The owner has 2,000 items online, photographed and entered by himself, but he never wrote a line of HTML code.
Want an online catalog? You should also consider a custom shopping cart.

Why?   Most pre-packaged shopping carts aren't very flexible.
Example:   PayPal's shopping cart won't let you add an extra shipping charge for international shipments. And PayPal is better than most!
Acme offers a flexible shopping cart that uses the same database as your online catalog.
As always, our designs make it easy for you to add special sales options for each item, with no database skill required.

Web-based calendars let customers know about your bands, special events, and sales.
Unlike paper, a web calendar can be a gateway to further information.
By clicking on an icon, viewers of this club calendar can visit a band's website, hear an audio clip, or read a brief introduction to the band.
Customers can even click a calendar event and sign up for an email reminder.
Again, our designs make it easy for you to update your calendar -- no HTML required.
Another bonus: our calendars can usually be printed on an 8.5x11 page. Instant hand-outs!
