With the success of major online stores such as Tesco Online and Amazon, combined with alternative web based systems like eBay the volume of potential online customers has grown tremendously.

 

This potential customer base can be reached by small online traders using Shopfitter's pay as you sell software system. This is because we have created a product that complies closely with what the search engines say works best, Google published their patent in 2005 stating what they look for and, just as importantly, what techniques will be penalised.

 

Around 80% of visitors to a website arrive from a search engine, this means that search engine marketing is the most important form of promotion to carry out. Basing your website on Shopfitter provides the ideal platform for a successful webshop; plus, follow our guidance, sign-up for some of our other services and work with our affiliates to maximise the return on your investment in your website.

 

Getting site visitors is only the beginning, converting browsers into buyers is our next objective. Shopfitter sites provide very simple navigation so that the visitor doesn't get lost. Category pages are created automatically with thumbnail images and 'buy now' functionality - this means that your potential customers are never more than one click from being able to buy items from you. Whats more, the more you work on your site, improving layout, text and SEO items the higher your browser to buyer conversion rate will increase.

 

Security is an important factor in ensuring your customers are confident enough to entrust their contact and payment details with you. Shopfitter automatically places a 'site seal' in the bottom left of your site. This provides links to security statements and verification of our secure server status with Thawte, internationally recognised for industry standard secure server certificates.

 

Shopfitter's support service is entirely free of charge too, we're always happy to assist with anything you need to make your e-commerce site as successful as it can be.
