ecommerce in times of economic gloom
We seen a wee rash of businesses looking for something to help them throught the anticipated economic gloom of 2009. Typically it’s been businesses that haven’t seen the need for a web presence – or in some cases a good web presence (a bad web presence seems to have been ok in previous years). Now, however, things look different – and those new entrants have some pretty big ideas.
The need for ecommerce websites seems to be on the up. Folk seem to have tumbled that a website is fine – but how do you convert a customer into a piece of business? And the answer is – if they are on the site make sure they have the option to buy!
2009 bad news for Software Developers
It’s hard to look at the chaos in the financial markets and not worry about the fortunes for 2009. Software developers in Scotland have long relied on the financial services sector as a place of secure employment but as the tide has turned so the anxieties have increased.
The team at Web Wise Business saw the changes in the sector coming through a long time ago and we deliberately changed marketing strategy – though still carry out work in the sector. One area which we have now successfully address is that related to ecommerce websites for small and medium sized businesses – because of our background we know how to do that stuff well - and now because of our expertise with CMS systems like DNN we can deploy ecommerce quicker than ever before.
So although things look grim for 2009 in the financial sector its the experience we have gained in that sector that will allow us to deliver good results in 2009 in different areas. Well…. thats the plan.
ecommerce websites that are a doddle to deploy
We’ve all got a bit excited at Web Wise Business and its all because of ecommerce. For a bunch of guys that have been involved in the banking world since the 80’s this is no mean feat!
We’ve been building ecommerce websites for donkeys years – but at last we tumbled to something that seems obvious – make them easier for folk to deploy. Make them a doddle.
It’s been driven like all good ideas out of neccesity. We saw a big rise in the number of inquiries for the ecommerce bit but we weren’t delivering quick enough for our own liking.
So we are now playing around with our own simple system that lets you plug in your PayPal details and be up and running in no time. Sounds obvoius – well of course it is – but obvious always comes with 20 20 hindsight.
Our ecommerce websites will be featuring our new slick way of getting going soon – we just want to test things out ourselves first. We’ll keep you posted.
