With consumers across the globe doing as much shopping as possible from the safety of their homes, the competition for eCommerce revenue will be intense. If you intend to start doing business online, or if you have an online store that you want to take to the next level, you’ll have to ensure that your customers have the most enjoyable and seamless experience possible. That means having good site speed, easy searchability, quality product images, mobile-friendly design, and more.
You may have noticed I’ve written a few pieces on the various add-ons, widgets, and features (oh my) found in the Wix App Market. It turns out that I haven’t yet exhausted the subject. Why do I keep tapping the same vein, as it were? The thing is, the Wix App Market contains 250 total […]
A week ago, I took you on a tour of some of the add-ons that make Squarespace the formidable website building platform it is. Squarespace may not have a bona fide app market like Wix and Weebly, but it does contain a number of key integrations to help you reach out to your site visitors. […]
Some website builders (Wix and Weebly, to name but a few) give you a huge array of add-ons and widgets, both in-house and third-party, to complement your website building experience. By contrast, Squarespace provides a more pared-down website builder – there is no Squarespace analogue to the Wix App Market or the Weebly App Center. […]
So you’ve really done it. You’ve gone and built yourself a website. Congratulations. Of course, with modern website builders like Wix and Squarespace as accessible as they are, this isn’t a terribly difficult thing to achieve. (You might as well brag about successfully making yourself some buttered toast. Yes, it did require a nonzero amount of effort, […]
Most website builders give you a few standard features to work with. You’ll get eCommerce, a blogging tool, Google Maps, a contact form, and maybe a few other bits and pieces. For further functionality, there is often some kind of HTML tool available which allows you to insert an embed code from, say, PayPal or […]
Let’s say you’ve been operating a bustling brick-and-mortar store. By that, I mean you’re running a physical store, though there’s no reason why it couldn’t be a store that actually sells bricks and mortar. I should probably save that line of thought for my “101 Too-Cute-By-Half Business Ideas” post, though. Anyway, back to your business. You’re […]
I try to use my position as website builder writer here at Merchant Maverick to elucidate just what it is that gives a particular builder value and distinguishes it from the competition. I highlight innovative up-and-coming website builders and keep you appraised of the snakes in the grass. I strive to separate the forward-looking builders from those that […]
When I discovered WebsiteBuilder.com, I initially found it to be an enjoyable if basic website builder with a clean interface, decent features and hundreds of attractive templates. Though I thought it odd that I could find so little information on the company, it seemed to be a fairly straightforward product with a lot of promise. This was before […]
Website builders haven’t traditionally been among the glitziest or most visible denizens of the tech diaspora. Seen as mundane, proletarian entities serving mainly to help people create vanity sites, website builders have been mostly overlooked, while glamour and glory has been sapped up by Apple and the social media behemoths. Recently, Squarespace (see our review) has been working […]
