A few words about us
First off, it’s pronounced oz-e-works. Not oh-zee-works. Get that right and we’re sure to become friends! Our name comes from the fact our founder is an Aussie, we specialize in “e” Commerce and we provide end-to-end services for the development and support of eCommerce sites i.e. the “works”.
We’re headquartered in Brooklyn, New York and we’ve been in business since 2004. We work with open source eCommerce solutions such as osCommerce, Phoenix Cart and Woocommerce which provide a low cost entry point into the online environment.

osCommerce
We recommend osCommerce for businesses wanting to develop highly custom eCommerce sites.
In our experience, osCommerce has the lowest cost of ownership of any open source solution and therefore is cost-effective when it comes to offering a unique online eCommerce solution.
Phoenix Cart
Originally the community edition of osCommerce 2.3, Phoenix Cart has become its own entity. We applaud their intention to improve the code from a technical perspective while keeping the UX the same and the code base lean and fast eCommerce solution.
WooCommerce
Although there are several WordPress eCommerce Plugins available, we recommend WooCommerce as solution for startups or small businesses that have a small product catalog where they have a story to tell before they sell.
Please note we’ve done Woo Sites with very large catalogs too!

Our Methodology
We don’t talk Agile here. We don’t even talk Waterfall. Why not? Because these methodologies are best left to custom software development projects.
Developing a website using an existing solution is about Package Implementation which is whole different methodology that only seasoned IT professionals really understand.
So while we may stage delivery in order to bring a site or new functionality to market faster and we might even do iterations during build, we’re implementing a Package and we know better than anyone when you implement a package, you have to “watch the gap“.
