Coming Soon!
Get your Shopping website with zero risk to you!
Our
basic websites are free and very flexible and
are used as the base for every other website solution that we offer. In fact, you can use a free site as a basic shopping site (or affiliate site). We even give you catalogues, categories and products menus - we even supply paypal "Pay Now" buttons, all you have to do is add content and hit save! We don't mind, we're nice. But if you want to turn your website into a highly professional, highly advanced shopping solution, well, we can give you that too.
"Will it be hard to set up and get running?" Nope. You'll be amazed at how easy it is and how quickly you can begin trading on the Internet. Just Sign up for a free website, go to your admin panel. Press a button. You've now got a professional shopping site. Play with it, add content, upload some pictures, try and break it. When you're happy and you're comfortable with what you're doing, press another button and publish it on the Internet for everyone to see.
You'll only start paying for the website when it's been published. Once it's published, you can of course continue to work on it at any time of the day or night, 365 days a year, from anywhere in the world and on any Internet enabled device. Talking of paying for the website - we realise that not everybody wants to, or can afford to, pay £17.99 a month, especially to complete strangers, so we offer another option too.
You can choose a:
£17.99 a month Shopping website. Click to find out more.
3% commission Shopping Website. Click to find out more.
If you've clicked on the above links, you'll realise that this is a very flexible, no risk deal. It also allows you to have an unlimited number of money earning websites easily and cheaply.
Features of our Shopping Websites:
The chimps in the basement - who insist on being called the Development Team - are feverishly working on our eCommerce (Shopping) solution. We tell them what we want (I'm pretty sure they roll their eyes and shake their heads behind our backs) then they build it. Well.
By "We", I mean a number of eBay Powersellers, including a Platinum level Powerseller turning over at least £150,000 a month, some eBay "Daily Deal" sellers (The ones who get to advertise their stuff on eBay's home page), one of the UK's leading Affiliate marketers, a number of Internet Marketers and a number of eCommerce website owners.
We are mining their combined decades of knowledge to develop what they want, in as simple a way as possible and as cheaply as possible. We believe that we are producing the easiest, most advanced and flexible Online Website building solution on the Internet.
The following is a list of features that we're currently working on. All these features are included with your website in some form or other. Some options may be included at a basic level, while the advanced level will cost extra. For example, a simple book-keeping plug-in will be included, but if you want a complete integration with Sage accounting software, it's going to cost extra.
Just a note. Plugins aren't strictly plugins. They're buttons that you press, to open up more functionality on your website. That's all you have to do. You can switch them off by pressing a button too. They're all situated in your admin area and are updated automatically.
With the press of a button you can have a Shopping site, or a Social Networking site, or an Affiliate site, or a Blog, or any combination you like! We are making everything as simple and hassle free - and as powerful - as it can possibly be.

The website you get is Triple A, W3C compliant. Meaning it's very easy for search engines to spider and index and is to an accessibility standard required by the UK Disabilities act for businesses, ie, your website is multi browser compatible, including text only browsers and speech only browsers and all parts of your site can be accessed via the keyboard without the need for a mouse.
All our websites are very search engine friendly, even so, you can further enhance your websites search engine visibility with "On Page" seo.
Add unique keyword targetted Meta Titles to Catalogues, Categories, Individual Products and custom Content pages.
There is no need to include Meta Keywords or Meta Description. Thanks to some special wizardry from our developers, Keywords and Descriptions are pulled from the unique content you add to your sites. The more unique content you can add, the more you'll get found in the Search Engines.
Create unique keyword rich URL's for each Catalogue, Category, Product or custom Content page.

You can, with the click of a button, add a Blog, a Social Networking area or affiliate products to your website (or any combination), to bring in more customers and visitors, encourage interaction, build a community and create customer and visitor loyalty.

See "Promotion", below.
We believe that other website building companies (Including bespoke solutions costing thousands of pounds) don't do enough for their clients (you!) Once you have your website and they've taken your money, you're pretty much left on your own to fend for yourself in the Internet jungle!
We like to think that we're different. We care about your success because it leads to our success. We think that we are putting together the most powerful and advanced promotional tools currently available for website owners. Not only are we making them available to you, but we're also using them ourselves to actively promote your (and our) websites.
If that's reassurance enough then read on. If you're not convinced, find out more here.
We hate manuals. There's nothing worse than a 400 page manual that you have to wade through to find what you want. Most of the stuff you don't understand, most of the stuff you'll never use and most of it will go unread. We prefer an easier option. Question Marks next to every option in your admin panel can be clicked on to show an explanation, how to use it, why, and if neccessary link to "How to" videos or external sites or PDF document downloads, in case you like reading manuals...
Currently we have email support, or you can give us a ring. Very soon we will have real time chat and a networking site for website owners to join, to build a network of help and advice supported by our team of experts. We will also be encouraging voting on functionality, feature requests, good and bad feedback and many other interactive features to build a community of like minded individuals dedicated to running a successful business online.
Well done for reading this far! I'm sure you now realise that this is a very powerful Shopping website solution. We don't want you to worry about anything though, so a huge amount of stuff listed above is actually running behind the scenes and requires very little input from you. We are making it as simple as possible, but some things may be a little tricky to set up. If that's the case, don't worry - we're here to help!
Oh, and if you decide that it's not for you, you can cancel your agreement with us at any time after two months.
