About

For years Mike Marvin - a project manager, IT professor, and web programmer, had been frustrated that local area business do not have equal access to the global market that major corporations do. He knew that small business owners could not put forth the time, effort, and considerable expense to be able to effectively sell products online. Mike persistently looked for opportunities to develop a co-op type of commercial website for area businesses that were too small to venture online on their own. Finally, after 10 years, his efforts have paid off.

The Olean CyberMall is a website that allows small town businesses to go global. The site is designed to add stores and their products directly into a site that is already built and ready to do business. Small business owners also have the added benefit of cross traffic from other area stores - something they would not get with their own site.

That's not all - the customer benefits as well. The customer can purchase items from several stores and only check out once - that means they only pay shipping once even if they get items from multiple stores!

The Olean CyberMall is a project of Boundless Connections - a local business dedicated to supporting community based projects and workshops. The Olean CyberMall has been developed to handle all of the technical issues of running an ecommerce business including layout, design, programming, payment processing, taxes, shipping options, search engine optimization and security. The Olean CyberMall utilizes the services of Lynx Fulfillment, LLC, who takes care of storing inventory, packing and shipping. The end result is a powerful solution that makes the global market accessible to small town businesses.
