Does the credit card information get stored in the store?

The cart does not store credit card information, it is passed to the gateway company for processing.

Does the cart support different languages and currencies?

Yes, we support any number of different currencies and languages. This is all managed through the “Localization” setting in the adminstrative area of your cart. We are currently integrated with several international gateways including WorldPay, HSBC-CPI, DataCash, ProTx and more.

Do you charge fees per transaction?

No, there are no transaction fees or any other hidden fees when you use the cart.

I want to accept credit cards through my store, do I need a merchant account?

No, you can use PayPal as a payment method. PayPal doesn’t have monthly fees and takes a very small percentage of the sale for a transaction fee. Using PayPal does have one disadvantage; the customer will be directed off your store to make the payment on PayPal. com. If you’re looking for a low-cost alternative to paypal, you should look into PayPal Payments Pro, which keeps the customer on your site through the entire payment process.

What can I do with CMS?

You can effortlessly manage and create pages, blog posts, add photographs and videos, newsletters, link management among many other features. Custom designed themes or templates can be added and modified as required.

Will my blog show up in search engines?

Powered by WordPress with it straight out of the box, comes ready to embrace search engines. It’s features and functions guide a search engine through the posts, pages, and categories to help the search engine crawl your site and gather the information it needs to include your site within its database.

Web Browsing, simplified.

All too often I see companies running Windows platforms and servers in-house and worse yet Microsoft Internet Explorer is set as the default browser. Out of the box, Windows has made this the industry standard without giving the users any options.

Here are some solid options to evaluate:
FireFox
Flock
Opera
Safari (now Mac + PC)

If your computer web browsing has come to a crawl and painful process we highly recommend trying one of the alternatives listed above, you won’t go back we promise.

“If you build it, they will come”

If what Theodore Roosevelt knew more than a hundred years ago held true with websites today, we wouldn’t have to think much about online marketing let alone search engine optimization. Instead search engines should be at the forefront of every online business as top priority in establishing increased brand recognition and visibility across the web.

First, establish what is the target audience and the industry key terms and buzz words are. Secondly, build the website with these terms intermixed but not overly repeated and be sure to include them in headline tags (h1/h2) along with the meta title tag. Clean URLs (website.com/tools/widget) used along with these terms are also a great way to find increased relevance on the search engines.

Websites being built today are vastly different then they were built even just 5 years ago. Bloated HTML syntax (yes tables) is a thing of the past, search engines change algorithms almost daily and web developers are faced with adhering to web standards for the best cross browser viewing experiences.

HTML tags such as links (a href) or image tags (img) can use "alt" and "title" to give a clear description to what links are being referenced, these are great placeholders of rich keywords and content that weight heavily on search engines as well.

In summary, building websites with SEO in mind is a sure fire way to be positioned for success in today’s competitive marketplace. If you don’t you know your competition will.
