Selling music must be easy, right? You just find a web hosting company, lease a database, set up your web site, install a shopping cart, find suppliers, round up some customers and ka-chinnnnng! laugh all the way to the bank.

Yeah, and I have a nice bridge to sell you in a place called Brooklyn.
Soon you find out the seemingly great web hosting plan you bought into is inadequate, powerful database solutions (SQL and the like) out of reach, your ISP-provided shopping cart ill-suited for the music business, daily site management too time-consuming... and help!!! you start looking for professional web developers to find a way out. One look at their quotes and bong!! you feel like you were kicked by a mule: $150 an hour? Oh, yes; good programmers do not come cheap, particularly those proficient in database intricacies like SQL. There is a reason an eye-pleasing and functionally efficient web site can easily cost twenty, thirty or even fifty thousand Dollars.

"Are you nuts? Where should I get that kind of money?" Don't dispair - you are not alone. In fact few companies either have, or are willing to spend that much on a web site. That's the reason for such a gap between supersites and the vast majority of the me-too music web sites. Webmasters face a lose-lose choice: Either spend mucho dinero that will take years to recoup, or do it on a shoestring and let the site suffer. There was practically no middle ground to speak of.

It's a shopping cart, product & inventory management, intranet, extranet, reporting, shipping center, credit card processing...
it's everything your eBusiness needs!

Until now. After hearing frustrated and sometimes desperate stories from some of our data leasing clients, we have introduced our own web hosting and content creation service. In the great CDI tradition, we charge much less and offer much more than just about any other comparable vendor. On the other hand (also in the great CDI tradition), the service is not for everyone.

To start with, CDI's business web hosting and content creation service is available only to our data leasing clients. Secondly, it is a totally managed solution: The only people with direct access to the servers are our webmaster and programmers (why). Qualifying clients reap the benefits of seamless integration of CDI content databases with their own vendor-supplied data. Each web site is custom-made, tailored to client's requirements and utilizing all available CDI's resources and expertise. In a sentence, our service is designed precisely to fill the void between a self-made solution on one hand and overpriced designer bureaus on the other.

And why stop there? We throw in all kinds of advice you may find useful in running your enterprise. Can't find a suitable vendor? Ask CDI. Computer troubles? Ask CDI. In other words, you can call on us with any music or computer oriented question, anytime you need help. The best part: It won't cost you anything, it just comes with our service.

The central point of our e-business solution is a specialized shopping cart backed by SQL back end database containing your vendors' data integrated with CDI content: Track listings, CD covers, etc. It can be tailored as a retail music web site, a distribution (wholesale) enterprise or a combination of both. Either way you get an industrial-strength application at a cost so low even a one-man shop can afford it! The feature list alone will make you dizzy!

Our setup and development prices are substantially lower than what you might get elsewhere. Since each installation is a special, custom made project we do not publish a general price list. Instead, we quote each case individually. To initiate the process, please fill out the following short form and we will get back to you as soon as possible with a free, no-strings-attached consultation:
