Creating a successful ecommerce business is difficult, even for the most experienced business professionals. With 571 new websites created every day, it can be difficult for ecommerce sites to gain traction and build visibility. When it comes to building a successful online store, the most important elements include:

• Quality content. “Content is king” has become the motto of today’s digital marketing world. Content that provides value is what drives visitors to make a purchase. Regular content in the form of a blog helps create recurring traffic and cultivate loyal customers.

• Structure and design. An intuitive interface is necessary for success in today’s hyper-competitive market. Users are looking for a seamless experience that is simple, consistent, and clear with brand messaging.

• Credibility. Ecommerce sites must build credibility with every visitor, making the case that he or she should invest in your product or service. Professional design, quality content, and friendly customer service establish the credibility necessary to grow your business.

To be successful, online stores must create a positive user experience. However, in the midst of all these elements, one of the most important elements is often overlooked. Selecting the right shopping cart software for your site is vital to a seamless checkout process that keeps customers coming back time and time again.

Understanding The Benefits Of VevoCart Shopping Cart Software

VevoCart is a free ecommerce solution designed to give businesses the comprehensive resources necessary to create a successful site. Aside from a reliable, secure, and convenient checkout, VevoCart offers features such as:

• Responsive design. Marketers expect smartphone users to outnumber 1.75 billion by the end of the year. As the share of mobile users continues to increase, brands must create mobile-friendly websites to remain competitive in today’s marketplace. VevoCart comes with mobile-ready designs to help businesses attract smartphone users.

• PA-DSS Certified. Security is one of the most important factors for web users before making a purchase online. VevoCart is PA-DSS compliant and has been audited by a qualified assessor. Businesses that utilize VevoCart can ensure the utmost security for their customers.

• Multi–store support. VevoCart makes it possible for merchants to create multiple storefronts for the same business. Storefronts with different domain names share a virtual database that unifies inventory, business information, and creates central payment processing.

• Built–in marketing tools. VevoCart’s marketing tools are scalable to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re a small business or a growing enterprise, VevoCart helps build brand recognition, customer loyalty, and consumer satisfaction.

• Powerful administrator panel. Business owners and webmasters alike want full control over their sites. The admin panel by VevoCart is designed to provide full control over products, orders, shipping, payments, and other workflow processes.

Perhaps one of the most popular features of VevoCart is the one-time licensing fee. Instead of an ongoing monthly fee, the one-time payment gives ecommerce owners greater cost-efficiency when it comes to a comprehensive shopping cart solution. VevoCart is even built with an ASP.Net source code and utilizes a MS SQL 2005 backend database. This gives businesses the opportunity to modify the source code to fit their specific needs.

How Windows VPS Hosting Can Enhances VevoCart Performance?

While ASP.Net hosting provides basic function, Windows VPS enhances VevoCart performance, making it a powerful solution. This is because the Windows VPS server allows the application to run quickly 24/7, ensuring the maximum uptime for your business. Windows VPS isn’t just another ordinary web host. Rather, it gives each client his or her own portion of a host.

This increases security, reliability, efficiency, and performance capabilities. When basic web hosting is too simplistic to meet your needs, then VPS services are necessary to empower your site and the applications behind it. With Windows VPS, you never have to worry about downtime, onsite disasters, or internet outage again. Instead, you have the peace of mind that your customers will always have an excellent experience no matter when they visit.

VevoCart Harnesses Social Media Power

VevoCart provides solutions that address the growing social media market. Instead of simply having a Facebook fan page, for instance, businesses can create a merchant page on Facebook itself. This allows social media fans to shop without having to leave the site. Similarly, VevoCart integrates seamlessly with eBay publishing. Since a countless number of eyes see listings on eBay, sales are maximized to their greatest ability.

URL canonicalization makes the ecommerce site SEO and SMO friendly, helping it rank for targeted keywords and phrases. When coupled with a valuable content marketing strategy, VevoCart’s rich marketing tools will bring the business to new heights.

Power Your Business With VevoCart And Windows VPS

In addition to creating a positive user experience, VevoCart streamlines otherwise complex processes on the backend of the site. Merchants can easily access pertinent information necessary to run their business. It’s never been easier to access and manage store details online without jeopardizing security. For store management, benefits of VevoCart include:

• Redesigned panels. The admin management boasts a newly redesigned enterprise look and feel. Psychologically, this helps boost productivity while providing small businesses with enterprise-class solutions.

• Search store configuration. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the products and databases you need to run your store. Search configuration capability coupled with expandable and collapsible view provides store management with the tools necessary for success.

• Product features capabilities. Showcasing what your products and services have to offer is critical to convincing visitors to make a purchase. Whether your ecommerce site is in beauty, jewelry, healthcare, technology, or another industry in-between, VevoCart helps your business showcase the best you have to offer.

Selecting Windows VPS for VevoCart hosting will provide it with the power necessary to fuel your ecommerce site’s success. The host also backs up your most important data, ensuring you never have to worry about data loss or theft. Data backup options are available to secure every piece of information your business needs to safeguard.

Banner Positioning

VevoCart improves banner capability that allows you to place banners in five different positions – center, header, footer, left, and right. The numbers of allowed banners are not limited. You can place any numbers of banners in the same position.

VevoCart is now offering a new feature called Live Design. And it is now to help your design task much easier than before.

What is Live Design?

Live Design is a tool that enables you to customize your store’s look and feel by yourself – color, background, font, and border – in any way you like.

It also offers a preview feature which means that you will be able to see the difference of your customization before it actually takes effect at the storefront or your real website.

Also for Premium version, different customized themes can be applied on different stores.

Work with Live Design

To be able to play with Live Design, you need to create a new preset. A preset is like a theme that you can customize.

When you open Live Design for the first time, there is only one preset which is named Default. You cannot edit or delete this preset as this preset represents the default look and feel of the theme offered by VevoCart(currently Live Design supports only ResponsiveGreen).

This default theme is useful when one wants to change the website to the original look and feel.

After you create a new preset, you will see that there are four components which can be customized – color, border, background, and font.

For color, you can change color of several components such as main menu, side bar, content, link, and so on.For border, you can still change the color of a border, but you can also change border’s style and size.

For background, you can upload an image of choice to your background, and can customize the detail such as background position and background repeat, for example.

For font, there are five basic things that can be customized in font aspect which are font family, font size, font weight, font italic, and font underline.

When you are done with the customization, then you can save this preset. After you save the preset, it is up to you whether to apply this preset now or later to the website. If not satisfied with this one, you can also create another preset. Numbers of presets are not limited.So feel free to experiment as many colors, borders, backgrounds, and fonts as you would like to.

Customizing Live Design

Currently Live Design supports only Responsive Green and will support other themes offered by VevoCart soon.

However, if you have customized your own theme in VevoCart, or it can’t be waited for LiveDesign to support more themes, it is really not too difficult for you to customize LiveDesign to do so given that you have some coding experience.

Benefit of Live Design

• You don’t need a coding knowledge to change your website’s look and feel anymore.
• You can change an aspect of one element at once. For example, if you change the color of content in Live Design, then the color of ALL contents in your website will be changed.
• You can save unlimited number of presets and be able to apply them anytime. This make it convenient for you to change the look and feel for your website according to the events or the time in year.
• You can choose different presets to be applied on different stores.
