Shopping Cart Features
The Cart66 WordPress Plugin can be used to sell ordinary products, digital products for immediate download, subscriptions, memberships, pay to access content (I use it for the tutorial part of this website). It can be used with gravity forms so you can collect any amount of custom info as part of checkout process making it fantastic for event registrations and customised products.
You can use it in widgets on sidebar and homepage and inside tables. It has stock keeping so when the product has sold out it can no longer be purchased. You can add variations, create discount coupons (great for promoting in your newsletter), let buyers add a custom message at checkout… The list goes on.
We also design e-commerce websites using the WP E-Commerce Plugin.
Keeping in Touch with Customers
Link your shop to an email newsletter to automatically send new product info to your subscribers. Customers can subscribe to your newsletter as part of the checkout process and other website visitors can subscribe using the signup form on your website. This is a great way to keep in touch with customers, to gain repeat business/increase sales and to build a loyal customer base. More about email newsletters…
Search Engine Optimisation
We setup Google Analytics for your new website to give you detailed statistics on who is visiting your website. We add unique search engine titles and descriptions to each of your website pages and submit a sitemap to Google so they can index your content initially and on an ongoing basis.
