​About Dennis and newCommerce, LLC

Leveraging websites to provide results has been my life for almost 30 years.  My first eCommerce site was built in 1996. Co-operations.com was one of the first fully functioning transactional sites on the web.  More importantly, I have spent the last 25+ years relying on the web as the core catalyst for the companies I have operated and grown. 

The web, and how we embrace it, is much, much more than a beautiful website.  That concept is what defines the "new" part of "newCommerce". The need to utilize all aspects of the web and internal operations for sales is critical to future success.
​​
Let me help your company and your team learn how to leverage the web for success.  Your website is a critical piece of the pie, but just like in other business disciplines, there are many skills, culture tuning and expert execution needed to bring it all together. Reach new heights with your web initiatives.  There is much to do. The sooner we get started, the sooner we get things trending in the direction you are looking for.

Sincerely

Done correctly, eCommerce is a very exciting and rewarding business tool that creates direct channels to your customers. 
The term ​eCommerce can mean many different things depending on the business or person you ask.  eCommerce is everything from strategic business and management decisions, to a website, to logistical issues, to customer service and data integrity.
All of these pieces tie together.  One weak link and the entire chain can come apart. If you build solid disciplines in all facets, sales can soar along with profits and valuations.
Leveraging the web for old fashioned results.
