Hello,

I’m more than 20 year experience in: web audit, customized web programming, linux, networking, embedded device, atmega micro-controllers(IOT).

We have developed my own solutions for CMS (Content Management System), e-commerce, corporate / government applications web site, to meet the parameters that other solutions do not offer (security, access / charging, requests per second, etc.).

I am looking for a partner in UK (but do not exclude other countries) to implement/sell the engine for simple projects to very complex.

We also offer consultancy (security, mobility, portability, time access, development of new facilities, automation, etc.) for both new and existing projects on platforms such as wordpress, magento, prestashop, opencart etc. (although I do not recommend them), data server configuration, server backup, data encryption, data protection, analytical data, online implementation of electronic devices, IOT, etc.

Thank you,
Constantin

    You are looking for a UK sales person to sell licenses to your frameworks?

    Hello antropy,

    I'm looking for partners to sale final products aka websites, that is based on my kernel and not framework.

    I know that the price for customised website is tens of thousands pounds and therefore my solutions can be applied at the lower costs and is far away better and reliable than any other e-commerce or CMS solutions.

    As a conclusion I need a partner that is able to find customers (company, payment solutions/gateway or government solutions - see eghiseu dot ro) that need powerful website and not solutions based on wordpress, drupal, typo3, magento, prestashop, open cart, zencart and so on.

    For example the website 3dscanstore.com tested from Sweden, is loading in more than 10 seconds, less than 80 performance grade, less than 20 requests per seconds, 62 SEO score, etc.

    On the other hand, if partners needs help, I can provide site optimisation, custom analytic reports (please see hitgate dot com), improving overall performance and more.

    Regards,

    There have been a number of Romanian companies offering these sort of products on UKBF. I'm sure it's a great package but marketing them will need considerable investment. If you were willing to pay someone a wage to do your marketing then you might get a better response.

    Hello fisics,

    Most of packages that are sell in UK / Word Wide is opensource modified or framework based and NOT 100% from scratch/genuine. Just because every company is interested to make money as fast they as possible and not spend lot of time with one customer.

    To be able to produce money a website require a lot, I mean a lot of time with compacting, optimization and specific process and that's the reason the 99% of website is just to be and not making money.

    Marketing is important that's why I need the partner that will be able to explain to the website owner all this aspects regarding websites that indeed produce money.

    What salary are you willing to pay this partner?

    Or are you expecting a highly talented sales person with the right tech skills to spend the time learning your product and then to spend time selling it in the UK while earning no money in the interim and waiting for a commission several months down the road?

    Do you people even think these propositions through?!

    If what you're offering is equity, then stop being shy. Post the current sales figures, post your projections for the next five years, post your business plan and tell us what percentage you're giving this "partner".

    A lot of people will disagree with you @webmto . There are thousands of websites all built at low cost and all making money for their owners.

    Your products appear to be more bespoke which is why marketing them is that much harder. So we return to my suggestion that paying a wage will get you a better response than asking for a partner.

    Paying a wage is no warranty if the agreement it does not include a target/metrics.

    So I thought it was much better to find a partner who already has clients and who wants something else for his clients. Modality: a commission is set (20%) and as paid, I pay the partner.

    Seems fair to both, partner and me.

    If partners saw it as fair you'd have a ton of eager applicants in this thread. ;)

    You value your IP far too high and your partner's efforts as far too low. Commissions for affiliates are often 70% or more. Yes, that's how much a good salesperson gets in commissions.

    In your case you won't even get those good sales people, not even if you offer 70% or 80%. It's because you don't have an established business with a unique and established product and evidence of how easy or difficult it is to sell.

    I'm looking for partners to sale final products aka websites, that is based on my kernel and not framework.
    What does that actually mean? Define kernel? Define framework? What is your software that makes it better than all these established open source projects which have 10s or 100s of thousands of developer hours invested in them?

    far away better and reliable than any other e-commerce or CMS solutions.
    Why? How?

    For example the website 3dscanstore.com tested from Sweden, is loading in more than 10 seconds, less than 80 performance grade, less than 20 requests per seconds, 62 SEO score, etc.
    Ok but tested from the UK where its clients are based it's < 2 seconds. Are you saying you have built an ecommerce platform that's faster than OpenCart?

    It's really not clear what you're offering.

    The post is done two days ago but I understand your point of view, it's okay.

    Developing online projects is not like selling work, it's a tremendous research and development work that can not provide 70-80% of the proceeds, because if they do that, there will be no research or solutions that will really be good .

    Such principles have been developed by woo, presta, open, zen, and others. And relying on people with such a thought. Perhaps those who build a 30-pound template site can do that. A valid solution can not offer the margins you said.

    As I said, I understand your point of view, please leave room for those who understand and respect a well-done work that you can really rely on, whether you have 100 visitors a day or 10000000 visitors.

    @antropy, the kernel is the engine that take of the requests, process and return the output.

    Years ago when I was looking for the best eCommerce solutions and affordable costs, I believed that I finally did it, when I installed opencart. wrong. The open cart work fine, I believe that it deserve attention, very nice for small customers but quite unstable when virtualization came up.

    But opencart work great while modules are not installed. Themes you install require modules and once installed performance got slow. Anyway, for a small business work great.

    The answer is YES. The website based on my engine provide much better performance than any other e-commerce platform.

    What if the customers is asking for website that compete with mobile dot de or booking dot com? Which platform will you be able to use? My engine can solve those problems.

    @antropy, the kernel is the engine that take of the requests, process and return the output.
    So you mean it's something like Routing in Laravel or CakePHP?

    But opencart work great while modules are not installed. Themes you install require modules and once installed performance got slow.
    I agree ... IF you install the wrong modules and themes. Like any open source project, it can be ruined if you add terrible bloated code. But without those things it is excellent even for very large ecommerce websites.

    The answer is YES. The website based on my engine provide much better performance than any other e-commerce platform.
    That's a big claim, but if it's true then you will do well. Prove it with a comparison like this:
    https://www.litecart.net/comparison

    What if the customers is asking for website that compete with mobile dot de or booking dot com? Which platform will you be able to use? My engine can solve those problems.
    We've used OpenCart for websites bigger than those actually, with no problems. Unfortunately we cannot share which ones because we are still under NDA.

    No, the kernel is all the algorithms that works with database server and provide website content depending the url the visitors enter or access. The kernel is the main core that deal in an very smart manner with sql tables, so the website can provide high performance.

    Routing is something that any framework (including the PHP-MVC that open cart use to use) should provide and need to be configured, but still are few uri remaining without being routed....

    Regarding the comparison with other platform, you can consider all the option valid, just because it's a custom website and not a website based on framework.

    For a better understanding I need to tell you that the kernel cannot be use in a stand alone matter. The kernel communicate with the website code in order to have an website.

    To have performance the time you lose is not in loading/serving static content but dynamic content when you have to deal with million of products or requests per seconds.

    Yes, opencart can be used to deal with small or bigger websites but be sure that you measure the performance when there are load on your website. For example if you have a linux console try to use ab on your website and in the same time try to load and browse. You will see what I'm talking about.

    For example: if you will test the website 3dscanstore.com from console and will use 1000 request and 50 concurrency the web site will stop to work properly. If you do this test on custom website based on my engine you will see that the website continue to work smoothly.

    I see so the kernel is your platform.

    For a better understanding I need to tell you that the kernel cannot be use in a stand alone matter. The kernel communicate with the website code in order to have an website.
    I see so it sounds more like an efficient ORM framework?

    To have performance the time you lose is not in loading/serving static content but dynamic content when you have to deal with million of products or requests per seconds.
    We have some clients who require this.

    For example: if you will test the website 3dscanstore.com from console and will use 1000 request and 50 concurrency the web site will stop to work properly. If you do this test on custom website based on my engine you will see that the website continue to work smoothly.
    Yes you might be right. So how can your kernel/platform fix this?

    The kernel is the engine that platform (CMS, booking, ecommerce, apps) uses to create the final products to be delivered to the customers.

    Strictly technical speaking it is not. ORM is like a translator from INCOMPATIBLE source, but if you think like a translator you have quite right.

    The way the kernel is written avoid such inconvenience. Just because the kernel is "focused" on the main task and not using frameworks that quite often has garbage inside.

    On the other hand, the kernel can be extended with marketing tools that use data analysis and data predictability.

    For example, picture a website that display a banner each time the user enter the website. Of course the banner can be set to be shown each day, every sessions customers open, etc.
    BUT the smart things is that the kernel can analyze data and show the banner, pop up, message, whatever customers wants, considering the customers activities on the website. If the customers spend time on the specific page, products, the kernel will delivery specific info/promo/ads making the customers taking actions the website owner want.

    There are a lots of parameters that can be configured to have the best possible conversion rate because the visitors will see a smart website that "know" what the customers wants and not being bored with one banner/message the website display.

    Predictability is quite complex features that kernel offers and being short it calculate the probability to being visited by each visitors to allow the messages/ads to be seeing from the valid customers and determine customers to take immediate actions buy/call/etc.

    For example, a customer put on the website a new set of products. The customers want to sell asap 1000 pcs. What wn ordinary website can do that? It can not.
    You'll say, ok, will go for google ads. Without a solid knowledge of customers actions website owners will put money in google pocket book and the conversion rate will be increase a bit but even close the maximum of potential the products may have.

    By having the website history you will have the large data set on user behavior and analyzing all data you can set a valid SEO/Adwords campaign how really end in sales and NOT only google profit.

    If you want open I can give you 30 days free trial on hitgate to see the user behavior on your website and you will see that getting more valid visitors can be easier that you ever think.
    Of course, you can sell also this solutions.

    Ok but after all this I still don't really understand what your software does? Does anyone else here understand? Maybe I'm missing something? But it's already at the stage where it is ready to give a 30 day trial and demo.

    hitGate is a tool for data collection and analyzing for marketing purpose.

    It is different from the engine/kernel that is used to provide costumed website cms/e-commerce/booking/portal/etc/.

    I mentioned hitGate because I wrote this tools to be able to collect and analyze website data, data that will be used by platform to provide features as smart ad, customers behavior, etc.

    Hope is clear now.

    OK so lets go back to your opening post.

    You want someone to market your products and services. If someone is interested they will want a site to show prospective clients. Yours doesn't do this. It's a developer led site with lots of jargon and technical info, it's quite difficult to use and it doesn't make me go wow.

    If you want someone to do your marketing you need to change your whole approach. You need so sing the benefits of your products in a clear and simple manner. You need to make it clear who these products are for and give lots of comparisons. Eg: number of concurrent sales compared to all other platforms. You need to list the benefits of your analytics over all other products and how simple it is to embed and use with existing platforms. There needs to be lots of demos.

    Prospective clients don't care about you or your kernals. There don't care about the hundreds of hours of work. All they care about is getting a better ROI than their current platforms. And they want to be sure they will get the same level of support.

    So before you tender for a partner, you first need to change your whole marketing strategy. Sell the sizzle not the sausage. Or: stop selling products and start selling benefits.

    I'd also reconsider the range of products you offer. They are mismatched and don't work well together.

    Well @fisicx it is not about the market my products or service. It will require too much effort and money. Explaining how the new solutions can improve the performance, ROI, etc. to someone that already provide solutions, will help the website owners in their jobs.

    The post may be for website owners but definitely is for solutions providers. They know the differences between the existing open source e-commence solutions, they know about the limitations, they know about the technical issues and the problem the website owner encounter.

    All this is only for end customers benefit, customers that think that a costumed website is tens of thousand pounds and goes for opensource solutions.

    They can have a super fast, reliable, responsive website at the costs of open source website.

    A partner, as I see it, is the open source integrators that already work with website owners. They can provide them a better way to save money and make the sales. That's all about.
