Punem accent pe lucrurile bine făcute și de aceea ținem să ne ocupăm de magazinul online al clientului de la punctul de idee/vis până la atingerea conversiilor mult dorite și nu numai. Înainte de a da startul unui proiect vrem să știm totul despre acesta și ce asteptări are clientul nostru.
Deseori ne “lăudăm” că ne diferențiem de concurență prin faptul că facem tot posibilul de a transpune cu exactitate afacerea offline a clientului (dacă există) într-una online. În cazul în care magazinul nu există offline atunci reformulăm și spunem că facem tot posibilul de a transpune visul clientului într-un magazin online. Această “laudă” a fost confirmată de 99% din clienții nostri de nenumarate ori, iar acest lucru ne motiveaza să fim pe zi ce trece tot mai buni.
După o discuție lungă cu clientul nostru, după ce avem toate detaliile cerințelor/așteptărilor notate dăm startul proiectului. Designerii și programatorii noștri fac adevarate minuni pe platforma Magento 2 și în decurs de câteva săptămâni (depinde de complexitatea proiectului) livrăm un magazin online optimizat și responsive gata să depășească orice concurență.
Cu toții știm că un site actualizat în mod regulat va crește numarul de vizitatori, iar motoarele de căutare vor indexa paginile mult mai rapid. Tocmai din acest motiv majoritatea clienților nostri, după finalizarea proiectului, apelează la noi și pentru serviciile de Mentenanță pentru schimbări de structură, modificări/adăugări de conținut, bannere, oferte, etc.
Cheia pentru succesul continuu al oricărui site web este un plan de mentenanță bine pus la punct. Cu atât mai mult pentru magazinele online care, după cum bine știm, au ca scop prezentarea și vânzarea de produse online, iar acest lucru necesită un număr de module, cum ar fi: produse de filtrare, căutare simplă/complexă, membrii secțiunii – conturi de utilizatori, coș de cumpărături, de comanda, metode de plata, întrebări și răspunsuri, pagini de gestionat, sistem de publicitate banner, etc. Toate acestea daca nu sunt intreținute și actualizate corespunzator pot duce la degradarea magazinului.
De asemenea recomandăm clienților servicii de Marketing Online pentru a-și mări numărul de clienți și pentru a ajunge la conversiile mult dorite. Vă enumerăm mai jos cele mai eficiente tehnici de promovare online de care, cu siguranță, orice magazin online are nevoie:
SEO– mareste numărul de vizitatori care caută pe Google sau cauta produse similare magazinului tău online;
E-mail marketing– ajută la construirea unei baze de date de clienți potențiali, comunicând astfel cu ei prin intermediul buletinelor informative;
Marketing de conținut– se combină scrierea de articole, ghiduri și alte materiale, astfel încât să fie orientate către clienții potențiali pe termen lung până când ei vor avea nevoie de tine;
Social media marketing– ajută la construirea unei comunități în jurul valorii brand-ului, apoi devine ambasador influențând spre serviciile sau produsele puse la dispoziție;
Campanii AdWords– anunțuri text care apar deasupra rezultatelor naturale în căutările Google. Este o metodă de promovare a site-ului, care obține clienți sau vânzări, inca din prima luna;
Facebook/Instagram Ads– în acest moment, cei mai multi dintre potentilii clienți ai magazinelor online folosesc aceste rețele de social media. Din acest motiv, acestea reprezintă un loc bun pentru a promova anunțuri.
Remarketing– folosește tehnici astfel încât clienții care cândva au vizulizat un anumit produs oferit de un magazin online vor da de link-ul către acel magazin printr-un banner reamintindu-le de produsul pe care l-au vizualizat.
Când vine vorba de specialitatea noastră, magazinele online, oferim toate serviciile pentru ca aceastea să ajungă niște afaceri de succes deasupra oricărei concurențe. Lista completă a serviciilor oferite de noi este urmatoarea:
Design
Implementare & Dezvoltare
Integrare sistem ERP
Optimizare
Strategie de Marketing
Promovare
Majoritatea clienților noștri optează și pentru serviciul de Integrare ERP pentru planificarea resurselor companiei. Mai jos enumerăm beneficiile aduse de un sistem ERP.
Prelucrarea manuală a fiecărei comenzi primite, actualizările de stoc după fiecare aprovizionare, vânzare, lichidare sau inventariere poate fi făcută mult mai rapid și mai corect cu un sistem ERP. Astfel reduce numărul de angajați se poate reduce și implicit se reduc și costurile.
Un sistem ERP:
Actualizează automat stoculfăcând legătura între stocul magazinului tău online și cel fizic;

Face posibilă trimiterea automată a unui SMS sau e-mailodată cu finalizarea unei comenzi care va include de asemenea și starea comenzii, dacă a fost sau nu procesată, perioada de livrare și modalitatea de plată.

14 Best ECommerce Options for Designers
With Black Friday/Cyber Monday just a few weeks away, it’s time to get clients set up and ready to sell. The list of solutions to choose from keeps on getting longer, so how do you pick which one to go with?
Start with a list of features that are must-haves for your client, be clear on what their budget is, decide how much development you want to do to get the thing set up, and whether you want a hosted solution, or separate hosting. Once you know what you need, then start looking at what’s out there.
Here’s a selection of some options that should be on your shortlist:
1. Shopify
What began as a bespoke store selling snowboarding equipment is now a platform powering half a million active stores and $40bn in sales to date. Shopify offers an easy to set up an online store with secure unlimited hosting. There is a well stocked theme store, plus a guide on building custom themes for clients who want a bespoke design.
Shopify also allows you to sell through several other channels: Facebook, Messenger, Pinterest, Amazon, and embedded Buy Buttons. Not all features are available in all countries, for example Pinterest Buyable Pins are not available outside the US. Plans start at $29 per month plus credit card fees, and transaction fees for payment gateways other than Shopify’s own.
Cost: From $29 / month + fees
2. Magento Open Source
Magento Open Source, formerly known as Community Edition, is a free open source (obviously) platform built in PHP. It comes with a basic, configurable store to get you started. In theory, because it is open source, it is more flexible and customizable than other, hosted, platforms. This may mean getting your hands dirty with PHP, although there is a large community of developers providing all sorts of free and paid add-ons and themes.
Although the software is free, you need to provide your own hosting, and unlike hosted solutions, the security side of things is not taken care of. There are certain legal and PCI (payment card industry) requirements that must be met. To address this PayPal is the payment solution recommended by Magento.
Cost: Free
3. OpenCart
OpenCart is another feature rich open source platform. It is module based which means extensions can be added easily. Like Magento, it is free but there is again the same responsibilty to provide secure hosting. OpenCart offers a longer list of payment gateways, and the option to add more through extensions.
This is a solution for those who like to tinker, and get stuck in to some development, and not one to let a client loose on.
Cost: Free
4. WooCommerce
WooCommerce is an official WordPress plugin that will add a store to your WordPress site—there was a time when WordPress was for blogging, now it will even make the tea and pass you a biscuit. WooCommerce is built to work with themes, including the yearly default WordPress theme. There is also a free official theme, Storefront, which comes in 14 different flavors.
Several payment gateways are available, such as PayPal and Stripe and direct payment is an option, although it is up to the site owner to provide the SSL and other PCI compliance criteria here.
WooCommerce is completely free to install and use. Rather confusingly, clicking on the ‘Get Started’ button on the WooCommerce home page takes you to the sign up for a WordPress.com account. This gives the impression that the commerce plugin is only available on wordpress.com. That is not the case, it can be installed via your WordPress admin just like any other plugin.
Cost: Free
5. EKM
EKM have been around since 2002, and although they are smaller than Shopify with 30,000 online shops, their sales to date of £5bn work out at a higher average sales rate per shop. They are squarely aimed at customers in the UK, although the actual stores sell internationally, with a couple of continental European offshoots.
Besides the usual list of features, themes, and payment options, EKM stress their customer support. You get a dedicated account manager free for the first three to six months, depending on the plan you choose. EKM is one of the pricier platforms, starting at £29.99 (+ VAT if applicable), but you are not paying separately for hosting, and the security is taken care of for you.
Cost: From £29.99 (approx $39) / month + fees
6. Volusion
Volusion is one of the less expensive hosted eCommerce platforms with a site builder to get up and running with. Prices start at $13.50 a month but that only allows you 100 products and bandwidth limited to 1GB. You also have to buy your own SSL if you want to use direct payments. If you use more than your allocated bandwidth you get charged, but this is instead of a per transaction charge.
Volusion also offer custom design services as well as theme help, and marketing services.
Cost: From $13.50 / month
7. BigCommerce
Another hosted platform, BigCommerce starts at $29.95 per month. That includes unlimited products, file storage, bandwidth and staff accounts, hosting, SSL certificate and online sales of up to $50k per year. There are no additional transaction fees for using any of the major payment gateways, and POS transactions can be integrated with the online store.
BigCommerce also offers embeddable Buy Buttons, and integration with Facebook Shop, Amazon, eBay, and Google Shopping.
Cost: From $29.92 / month
8. SupaDupa
SupaDupa is one of the newer kids on the block, and one of the cheapest of the hosted platforms. Plans start at £6 (approx. $8) per month with unlimited bandwidth and no transaction fees. Credit card gateway, unlimited products and storage, and SSL certificate are only available on the higher priced plans but at £19 per month (approx $25), that’s still pretty reasonable.
SupaDupa say they are not claiming to have a platform for everybody, it is aimed at design related or creative businesses. Design customization is limited on the lower plans but there are over 40 themes to choose from and a custom design service is available.
Cost: From £6 (approx $7.80) / month
9. PrestaShop
PrestaShop is a free, open source platform. As with the other open source platforms mentioned, hosting is not provided and security—SSL certificates, PCI compliance etc—are your responsibility. There are a stack of payment methods available, and while not all of these modules are free, those for the big payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe, are.
There is a well stocked theme store and a fairly active developer community. Training courses are available, and there are regular conferences and meetups.
Cost: Free
10. LemonStand
LemonStand starts at $19 per month with no transaction fees. This includes unlimited products, storage and bandwidth, but only 75 orders per month. They claim unmatched flexibility with design customization, including the use of your choice of frontend framework.
This platform seems to be aimed less at merchants directly and more at designers and developers who are looking to build customized eCommerce solutions for clients.
Cost: $19 / month
11. Stripe
Stripe is a secure payment gateway that can be integrated with most good eCommerce platforms, or used on its own to take card payments directly using its own checkout. It can be used for card payments and some other payments methods, depending on country. There is a transaction fee, but no setup fee or subscription.
Stripe has extensions to integrate with a host of other applications to help with business admin, including Xero and Slack. Payments made through Stripe are typically paid out to your nominated bank account on a schedule based on your country and industry.
Cost: Fees
12. Paypal
Currently—probably—the best known online payment gateway to date, PayPal offers a range of payment solutions for businesses of all sizes. PayPal can be integrated with most eCommerce platforms or it can be used on its own by integrating a PayPal checkout, or embedding a PayPal button.
There are free and paid solutions and a transaction fee is charged the rate of which depends on the volume of monthly sales. Because of its high profile, PayPal is one of the more trusted payment options.
Payments made with a credit or debit card or from another PayPal account are available immediately and can be held in your PayPal wallet or withdrawn to your nominated bank account.
Cost: Fees
13. Authorize.Net
Authorize.Net payment gateway accepts all major credit cards as well as  Apple Pay, PayPal and Visa Checkout. There is a setup fee of $49 and a monthly fee of $25 on top of the transaction fee which varies depending on whether you use the payment gateway only or the full gateway with merchant account. This also includes the ability to take payments in person, over the phone, by mail or through mobile devices. You can use Simple Checkout buttons or integrate with a certified shopping cart.
Cost: $49 setup + $25 / month + fees
14. Snapppt
Snapppt allows your customers to shop via your Instagram feed. Or at least link directly to a specific item in your store to buy it. It’s from the people behind the SupaDupa platform, and integrates with SupaDupa stores, but also other platforms including Shopify.
Cost: Free
FotoForm – The World’s First Geometric 3D Photo Animator – only $17!

14 Best ECommerce Options for Designers
With Black Friday/Cyber Monday just a few weeks away, it’s time to get clients set up and ready to sell. The list of solutions to choose from keeps on getting longer, so how do you pick which one to go with?
Start with a list of features that are must-haves for your client, be clear on what their budget is, decide how much development you want to do to get the thing set up, and whether you want a hosted solution, or separate hosting. Once you know what you need, then start looking at what’s out there.
Here’s a selection of some options that should be on your shortlist:
1. Shopify
What began as a bespoke store selling snowboarding equipment is now a platform powering half a million active stores and $40bn in sales to date. Shopify offers an easy to set up an online store with secure unlimited hosting. There is a well stocked theme store, plus a guide on building custom themes for clients who want a bespoke design.
Shopify also allows you to sell through several other channels: Facebook, Messenger, Pinterest, Amazon, and embedded Buy Buttons. Not all features are available in all countries, for example Pinterest Buyable Pins are not available outside the US. Plans start at $29 per month plus credit card fees, and transaction fees for payment gateways other than Shopify’s own.
Cost: From $29 / month + fees
2. Magento Open Source
Magento Open Source, formerly known as Community Edition, is a free open source (obviously) platform built in PHP. It comes with a basic, configurable store to get you started. In theory, because it is open source, it is more flexible and customizable than other, hosted, platforms. This may mean getting your hands dirty with PHP, although there is a large community of developers providing all sorts of free and paid add-ons and themes.
Although the software is free, you need to provide your own hosting, and unlike hosted solutions, the security side of things is not taken care of. There are certain legal and PCI (payment card industry) requirements that must be met. To address this PayPal is the payment solution recommended by Magento.
Cost: Free
3. OpenCart
OpenCart is another feature rich open source platform. It is module based which means extensions can be added easily. Like Magento, it is free but there is again the same responsibilty to provide secure hosting. OpenCart offers a longer list of payment gateways, and the option to add more through extensions.
This is a solution for those who like to tinker, and get stuck in to some development, and not one to let a client loose on.
Cost: Free
4. WooCommerce
WooCommerce is an official WordPress plugin that will add a store to your WordPress site—there was a time when WordPress was for blogging, now it will even make the tea and pass you a biscuit. WooCommerce is built to work with themes, including the yearly default WordPress theme. There is also a free official theme, Storefront, which comes in 14 different flavors.
Several payment gateways are available, such as PayPal and Stripe and direct payment is an option, although it is up to the site owner to provide the SSL and other PCI compliance criteria here.
WooCommerce is completely free to install and use. Rather confusingly, clicking on the ‘Get Started’ button on the WooCommerce home page takes you to the sign up for a WordPress.com account. This gives the impression that the commerce plugin is only available on wordpress.com. That is not the case, it can be installed via your WordPress admin just like any other plugin.
Cost: Free
5. EKM
EKM have been around since 2002, and although they are smaller than Shopify with 30,000 online shops, their sales to date of £5bn work out at a higher average sales rate per shop. They are squarely aimed at customers in the UK, although the actual stores sell internationally, with a couple of continental European offshoots.
Besides the usual list of features, themes, and payment options, EKM stress their customer support. You get a dedicated account manager free for the first three to six months, depending on the plan you choose. EKM is one of the pricier platforms, starting at £29.99 (+ VAT if applicable), but you are not paying separately for hosting, and the security is taken care of for you.
Cost: From £29.99 (approx $39) / month + fees
6. Volusion
Volusion is one of the less expensive hosted eCommerce platforms with a site builder to get up and running with. Prices start at $13.50 a month but that only allows you 100 products and bandwidth limited to 1GB. You also have to buy your own SSL if you want to use direct payments. If you use more than your allocated bandwidth you get charged, but this is instead of a per transaction charge.
Volusion also offer custom design services as well as theme help, and marketing services.
Cost: From $13.50 / month
7. BigCommerce
Another hosted platform, BigCommerce starts at $29.95 per month. That includes unlimited products, file storage, bandwidth and staff accounts, hosting, SSL certificate and online sales of up to $50k per year. There are no additional transaction fees for using any of the major payment gateways, and POS transactions can be integrated with the online store.
BigCommerce also offers embeddable Buy Buttons, and integration with Facebook Shop, Amazon, eBay, and Google Shopping.
Cost: From $29.92 / month
8. SupaDupa
SupaDupa is one of the newer kids on the block, and one of the cheapest of the hosted platforms. Plans start at £6 (approx. $8) per month with unlimited bandwidth and no transaction fees. Credit card gateway, unlimited products and storage, and SSL certificate are only available on the higher priced plans but at £19 per month (approx $25), that’s still pretty reasonable.
SupaDupa say they are not claiming to have a platform for everybody, it is aimed at design related or creative businesses. Design customization is limited on the lower plans but there are over 40 themes to choose from and a custom design service is available.
Cost: From £6 (approx $7.80) / month
9. PrestaShop
PrestaShop is a free, open source platform. As with the other open source platforms mentioned, hosting is not provided and security—SSL certificates, PCI compliance etc—are your responsibility. There are a stack of payment methods available, and while not all of these modules are free, those for the big payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe, are.
There is a well stocked theme store and a fairly active developer community. Training courses are available, and there are regular conferences and meetups.
Cost: Free
10. LemonStand
LemonStand starts at $19 per month with no transaction fees. This includes unlimited products, storage and bandwidth, but only 75 orders per month. They claim unmatched flexibility with design customization, including the use of your choice of frontend framework.
This platform seems to be aimed less at merchants directly and more at designers and developers who are looking to build customized eCommerce solutions for clients.
Cost: $19 / month
11. Stripe
Stripe is a secure payment gateway that can be integrated with most good eCommerce platforms, or used on its own to take card payments directly using its own checkout. It can be used for card payments and some other payments methods, depending on country. There is a transaction fee, but no setup fee or subscription.
Stripe has extensions to integrate with a host of other applications to help with business admin, including Xero and Slack. Payments made through Stripe are typically paid out to your nominated bank account on a schedule based on your country and industry.
Cost: Fees
12. Paypal
Currently—probably—the best known online payment gateway to date, PayPal offers a range of payment solutions for businesses of all sizes. PayPal can be integrated with most eCommerce platforms or it can be used on its own by integrating a PayPal checkout, or embedding a PayPal button.

15 Best Ionic App Templates
With Ionic, creating a high-performance, cross-platform mobile app is as easy as creating a website. In fact, if you are a seasoned web developer who wants to become an Android or iOS app developer overnight, all you have to do is install and start using Ionic. I assure you, you'll take to it like a fish to water.
Building a feature-rich Ionic app with an elegant user interface, however, can be challenging—even more so if it is to look native on multiple platforms. Fortunately, by using an Ionic template you can save substantial amounts of time and effort.
CodeCanyon is one of the largest online marketplaces for Ionic templates. No matter what your app's requirements are, there's a good chance that CodeCanyon has a template for it. In this article, I'm going to list 15 outstanding Ionic templates you should consider using this year.
1. Ionic Mobile App Builder
Developed by CodeGenerator, Ionic Mobile App Builder, or IMA builder for short, is an award-winning template that lets you create both static and dynamic Ionic apps without writing any code whatsoever. It offers a very intuitive web-based interface you can use to define every aspect of your app. More precisely, it allows you to simply fill out a few forms in your browser to create and configure all the components of your app's user interface, including navigation drawers, menus, popovers, tables, and pages.
The best thing about this template, however, is that the apps you build with it will be capable of interacting with a variety of data sources, such as WordPress, WooCommerce, and any other content management system that has a JSON API.
2. IonWordpress
IonWordpress, developed by elite author IonicThemes, is the template to use if you want to convert your WordPress blog into a stunning Android or iOS app. This is one of the most popular themes on CodeCanyon, and for a good reason—it has more features than you can imagine, great documentation, and easy-to-read code.
In addition to WordPress-related functionality, this template also offers push notifications, mobile advertisements via Google AdMob and Apple iAd, and an in-app browser.
3. Material Design UI Ionic
This template, developed by elite author CreativeForm, is for Ionic developers who don't want to spend time designing their apps. It offers over 60 commonly used screen layouts and five beautiful UI themes. It also has a well-organized Sass file containing dozens of variables you can change to further customize your app's looks.
To help you avoid dealing with multiple resolutions of images, this template includes icon fonts with over 800 icons. If you must use images, it also supports several blending modes for them.
4. IonStore
IonStore, developed by ionicpremium, is a template you should definitely consider using if you are creating an e-commerce app. It allows you to quickly create a beautiful app that can connect to your WooCommerce website and pull data and settings from it. It supports multiple payment methods, languages, and currencies. It is also highly customizable, offering you fine-grained control over the looks of your app. And as if that wasn't enough, it also supports discount badges, user registration, order tracking, and push notifications.
It is also worth mentioning that this template is very well-documented, and sees regular updates and bug fixes.
5. Catalogue Ionic
Catalogue Ionic, developed by appseed, is a generic business-oriented template. If you run a business and are trying to build an app that can showcase your products, this template might be just what you need. It also allows you to display useful information such as your shop's opening hours and your contact options. If you're using WooCommerce already, this template can be configured to read data from it.
Catalogue Ionic's architecture is extremely modular. Furthermore, because it was built using a very popular Yeoman generator for the Ionic framework, you can be sure that it follows several best practices.
6. Barebone Ionic
Barebone Ionic is a large, feature-rich starter template developed by appseed. As a developer, you can use it to kickstart almost any kind of Ionic app. For example, it allows you to effortlessly create apps that can read data from various content management systems, such as WordPress and Drupal. It can also serve as a good foundation for CRUD-oriented apps, instant messaging apps, and e-commerce apps.
I should also add that this template is fully integrated with the APIs of several popular websites, such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Vimeo.
7. IonChat
IonChat, as its name suggests, is a template that lets you build cross-platform instant messaging apps. Developed by IonCoder, this is a large template offering dozens of powerful features, such as support for group conversations, social login, and friend management.
Not only is this template easily customizable, the apps you create with it will be powered by Firebase, a cloud-based platform that's owned by Google. That means you can use the Firebase console to manage your app data.
8. Ionic Framework App
If you are looking for a modern template with dozens of beautiful pages and a wide variety of useful features, this template, created by gtsopour, is for you. Built with Ionic 3, it is very modular and extremely easy to extend. In fact, it has over 20 modules and over 35 components!
The apps you create with this template will be able to communicate with your WordPress blog using its REST API. They'll also be able to display charts, YouTube videos, Google maps, and RSS feeds. Another impressive fact about the template is that it offers a barcode scanner module, which you can use to scan several types of barcodes.
9. TapShop
By using TapShop, a template created by tapgadget, you can effortlessly create an e-commerce app that allows your users to buy and sell products. It has all the features you'd expect from this type of template. 
For instance, it has screens for buyers to browse through available products, make offers to vendors, and even chat with vendors. Similarly, it has screens for vendors to post new products, upload photos of those products, and handle offers made by buyers. 
But there's more to this template than just that. It supports push notifications, and is fully integrated with AdMob too, allowing you to easily monetize the apps you create with it.
10. Restaurant Ionic
Restaurant Ionic, developed by appseed, is a template that's bound to entice any restaurant owner. Apps created with it are feature-packed, and have intuitive user interfaces that let customers view menus, place customized orders, read about special offers, and choose delivery methods. They'll also allow you to communicate with your customers using push notifications.
Setting this template up is a breeze. So is customizing it, because you can dramatically change the looks of your app by simply selecting one of the several beautiful Material Design-inspired color themes it offers.
11. Ionium
Ionium is a multi-purpose starter template created by ionicpremium. Whether you are building an e-commerce app, a hotel booking app, a news reader, or even a social media app, this template has got you covered. It also allows you to quickly create CRUD-oriented apps, which support both local and remote storage.
Because this template uses Material Design components, animations, and gestures, you can be sure that the apps you create with it will look very modern and polished.
12. IonSocialApp
Apps with social features tend to be more successful on both Google Play and Apple's App Store. If you are interested in creating one yourself, IonSocialApp, another template developed by IonicThemes, has everything you need to get started. It offers screens that allow users to sign up, sign in, create posts, write comments, and even browse through trending topics.
This template also includes several useful features that can improve your app's user interface. For instance, it supports the pull-to-refresh gesture, infinite scrolling, and native sharing functionality.
13. Mobionic
Mobionic, developed by gtsopour, is another multipurpose template with a host of useful features. It is integrated with WordPress and supports server-side pagination of posts. It also has multiple layouts for your app's home screen. The latest version of this template is fully integrated with the YouTube API too, allowing you to create video-based apps.
Additionally, it supports push notifications for both the Android and iOS platforms.
