Why use Business Catalyst?

Online Businesses, Not Websites.

Gone are the days of building simple websites. Clients are demanding more functionality and better results from their websites. They want a website with business functionality that fulfills business goals. They want an Online Business, and that's BC's specialty - in fact, Online Businesses have been our vision since 2004.

Goodbye Coding Costs. Hello Higher Profits.

Say goodbye to manually integrating multiple systems or installing tens of plug-ins to suit a single client. Using our all-in-one system you can build powerful Online Businesses, slash development time and streamline your workflow, saving you a whole lot of money and a whole lot of stress.

Build Beautiful Sites, Your Way.

Many systems have complicated or restrictive theme systems to learn if you want to customize a site. With Business Catalyst, we've turned that on its head - you design what you like in HTML and CSS, and then insert our modules into your design.

Sometimes clients just want to start with something basic. With BC, you can start them off on a basic web hosting plan... and then upgrade them at any time into a complete Online Business solution. Seamlessly. BC is the one platform you need, from basic sites through to those big jobs that you can really sink your teeth into.
