This is the attitude behind Merchant Metrix’s shopping cart. No more limited or half baked shopping cart systems, Merchant Metrix handles every option you ever wanted in a shopping cart.”

“My new design is spectacular and has helped increase traffic and traffic retention on my site significantly. It’s beautiful and the Merchant Metrix support and design teams are so wonderful to work with.
I’m on the first page (#1) of Google for “Flavored Massage Oil” just because of this amazing shopping cart software. It’s absolutely amazing!
The one-page checkout system in the shopping cart has virtually eliminated all our shopping cart abandonment and has helped increase our sales conversions by 38%.”

“I really can’t thank you enough with the technical support you have given me (even on Thanksgiving!). You get right back to me whenever I run into a road block. Your understanding, massive patience and being supportive of me while I have been relearning so much in my life due to my recent brain injury have helped build my confidence in my abilities to manage my own site. I know I can call and not be ridiculed for not getting it right off the bat. My memory loss is probably pretty evident to you with the constant calls I have made, but you have always extended compassion and shown me respect by not treating me like I was a charity case – just someone who needed a bit more help, a little more often then most. I can’t tell you how much this has meant to me. Thank you. You have been instrumental in helping me rebuild my site and my brain.”

“When I was considering Merchant Metrix for the help I needed for my website problems, I had no idea what was involved in internet marketing. I had many e-commerce related website problems and only a few answers. The Merchant Metrix staff provided a level of information to me that surpassed the how-to side of using the software. They provided in-depth information to help me understand internet marketing and make my website more effective and profitable. Thank you, to everyone at Merchant Metrix!”

When designing a Web site for a client, there are several things you must understand about their business before ever putting pen to paper (or mouse to computer).
You need to know the direction the client wants to take with the project. Is the site for online sales or is it to advertise an idea or a service? This will ultimately decide how your overall layout will look.
Is this a Web site for Women, Men, Children, or Men and Women, Children and Women… ? This will decide the colors you will use, the style of the site, the type of objects displayed… You don’t want a bunch a flowers on a Web site that’s for Men, I don’t think you’d have many visitors.
Sometimes even location plays a factor. On the East coast and many places in the Mid-West, people tend to be more professional and business oriented, even in their everyday home lives. However, places nearing the West Coast are generally more laid back and relaxed, so they may tend to make purchases from places that show more of a sense of fun and enjoyment. This can direct how you create the client’s Web site. In California, even a Law office’s Web site may have a fun picture of the beach on it.
It may also be that the Web site’s “feel” should be directed more at the type of customer the client is used to having. A surf shop may see a dad walk into the store that doesn’t like surfing at all, but I bet their Web site is still all about surfing!
These are only a few of the many things that every designer should know before the first line is drawn. If you are in need a good Web site design company, check out Merchant Metrix, Inc. Whether you need a Custom Website Design or an E-Commerce Shopping Cart, Merchant Metrix can take care of you quickly and professionally!
Lately that’s all we’ve been hearing. With the current economic standstill, it stands to reason that anyone in the reasonable middle and lower classes would be much tighter with their pocketbooks and spending habits.
Small online retail businesses are suffering more than ever because of this. If it’s not hard enough to make a buck, probably their biggest hurdle is how they rank in the search engines next to big companies like Amazon. Don’t be fooled by most companies that promise their SEO services will get you to the #1 spot on Google. Most of these companies charge big bucks and you get little results; you’re left with a website that will reach, maybe, the top 5 pages.
There is a solution! Merchant Metrix has an award winning Search Engine Friendly Shopping Cart that takes the guessing out of creating a website for those who don’t know HTML or CSS. By strategically locating certain aspects of your website we can optimally position it for search engine spiders, and bump it to the top of the results. Our patent pending software is continuously being tested and has held its ground to this point.
