It starts with 'Good Design' which gives your site credibility. It shows that you value your site enough to invest time, money and effort in its development. You won't earn your visitors' trust unless they feel that your site is a serious undertaking with a long-term future. A visually appealing site is your best chance to make a good impression.
 
Up until now, E-commerce Software has been fashioned after the warehouse store. Product stacked to the ceiling (huge databases, showing the product ten deep) with little opportunity to develop a relationship with the client (let alone get their name, address, phone number and e-mail address).
 
Our Web Sites are fashioned after traditional stores (elaborate displays and better product presentation). Click Here to see an operating store. The online store then incorporates the approach of a direct marketer to developing a relationship with the client (our catalogue, toll free assistance, Click4Help, Web2Call customer surveys, tell a friend, contests, direct mail and email newsletters, etc.).
 
And finally, our checkout is the same as a real store, Click Here to see our shopping cart in operation (tally the products and process the credit card). This Shopping Cart is unlike most which are in use today which are confusing, hard to use and may require the client to sign up or register online. Click4Help and Web2Call built into the web site and the cart for those last minute questions and specialized customer service (means fewer abandoned shopping carts and more sales).

Does Your E-commerce Solution
Hide Your Business From Search Engines?
 
FACT #1 - ONLINE SALES come from SEARCH ENGINE TRAFFIC
 
The vast majority of online buyers use their favourite Search Engine when they shop for products or services on the Web. (This is the case for B2B and B2C)
 
Studies of online buying patterns consistently reveal that the online sale begins with a search engine listing. Jupiter Research found that 55 percent of e-commerce transactions originated from a search engine link. The 10th GVU User Survey reported 84.8 percent of users find Web pages through search engines, and 85.7 percent of these are searching with intent to buy. (While only 5% of online shoppers use online shopping malls!)
 
FACT #2 - Almost ALL Ecommerce solutions available on the market
hide your products from major Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo! or AOL
 
How? - simple. Most e-commerce solutions don't publish a real website on the Web. They build the pages as your customers surf them ... and destroy them when they leave. This is why Google, Altavista, AOL, Yahoo and others do not index these pages ... they simply do not exist!
 
How can you know if an ecommerce solution hides product pages from search engines? Here's how: Generally, when a catalog page URL does not end with ".html" or ".htm", it is not indexed.
 
Here is an example of a product page that your customers would never find!
