25 November 2013, Mold,
Wales, UK. 1-Ecommerce.com is a completely new total ecommerce and emarketing
platform with the same low-priced entry model that proved so popular with over
2,000 Shopfitter.com customers. The new system,
with enhanced social media tools, has been trialled by a number of sites over
the last year and it has been performing well says 1-Ecommerce creator, Simon
Allen.
“We’ve retained our
trademark ecommerce plus emarketing combined package, alongside the low-cost,
pay-as-you go option for a low risk ecommerce solution. We are also continuing
to offer free support from the same customer friendly team (plus premium
priority options).
“What’s new is more
integration with social media, plus direct displays of product review/rating
systems – which rank much higher in Google searches. That’s something that is
normally only available on bespoke ecommerce solutions. Plus built-in tools
populate product listings at key SEO points with tags and meta data for better
search performance.
“1-commerce.com delivers ecommerce
plus emarketing combined, plus low-cost, pay-as-you go option for a low risk
ecommerce solution”Simon Allen, CEO I-Ecommerce
“All the websites built
on the 1-Ecommerce platform are responsive sites, which mean they automatically
adjust to the viewing device, whether that is a PC or a Mac, a smartphone or a
tablet, or any other device used to access the online content. We have also
added a host of useful features that are missing from most platform-based
ecommerce solutions, such as supporting postage-by-weight calculations and
allowing differential pricing for logged-in trade customers or members.
“I inherited the
Shopfitter.com name when I led the MBO that took it over 12 years ago. It was
cutting-edge technology then and it seemed wasteful to throw away the traction
gained by the brand. We’ve been through four iterations of that software,
always with a dual focus on ecommerce and emarketing. And always with an eye on
how to make the customer experience as smooth as possible by removing any
barriers to the sale: to capitalise on that fleeting moment when people finally
click to buy. Whether you call it usability or conversion rate optimisation,
it’s all about trial and error to maximise sales effectiveness. We have been
working on that for 12 years now. It normally costs a fortune to get that
research in place. We’ve done all that for 1-Ecommerce customers.
“I was never
totally happy with the Shopfitter name. It sounded like we fitted out high
street shops. With this latest 1-Ecommerce.com
solution it’s clear what we do from the outset. More importantly, our client’s
customers seem to like 1-Ecommerce.
Steve St Vedas says, “I’ve been working with the guys for
the past 9 years. Over that period of time if ever I’ve had a problem with the
site, need some info or advice, they have always been reachable day or night
either by phone or email - and have got me sorted pretty much straight away.
The new 1-Ecommerce software, with its easy to follow layout and hint boxes,
makes adding new products and updating info very easy. It’s also easy to put in
all the relevant info in that Google requires for good search engine placement.
This has seen our online presence increase dramatically - and so have our sales.
“
Richard, who runs Bravellous says, “Since 1-Ecommerce become
involved with our website, we have noticed a better conversion rate, increasing
our sales and our return business. Some of our customers have been very
positive in their comments regarding the simplicity in which our website can be
navigated and the overall enjoyable shopping experience they had. .... Obviously,
the software has not been written exclusively for our business, but 1-Ecommerce
has adapted it in part to suit us, which make us that little bit unique. It
also shows how understanding and willing the staff at 1-Ecommerce are.”
Louise at Global Maternity says, “The 1-Ecommerce software
is incredibly easy to understand and use. I can access the Content Management
System and help desk from any computer or mobile, which means that I can keep
my website updated and answer customer queries as they arise.”
Colin, Best Buy Mobility says “Working with 1-Ecommerce has
been superb. They do not baffle us with technical jargon and reply to all
e-mails and phone calls without delay. ... Our website is very clear and easy to
use. Our customers love it! 1-Ecommerce is easy to use and update. We do it all
in house. If we want a custom solution, they sort it out for us. .... We have
seen a big growth in our online sales and customer awareness. Google ratings
have gone up. It’s great to sit at home and see the orders come in at any time
of the day.”
