<p>One of the major advantages of Avactis,  compared to other e-commerce  solutions, is fast and easy integration of  an online store into an  existing website without any programmer&#8217;s  knowledge or skills.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the incredible competition in the online marketplace, it has become obvious that more importance should be put on site&#8217;s credibility. Generating more leads becomes possible when customers feel comfortable and secure while shopping online with your web store. So it is highly recommended to apply the proven basics of the retail success.</p>
<p>To run a successful ecommerce website, you need to make your web store as attractive as possible and display your product range to the best advantage.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12254" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/templatemonster-discount.jpg" alt="" width="525" height="237" /></p>
<p>You may incorporate an online catalogue that provides detailed information on each product and make it easy for the online shopper to make a purchase. Perhaps it would be nice to have organized categories and use thumbnails to give faster load time. Just let the visitors learn about your product, win your customers&#8217; interest before they will actually shop online.</p>
<p>Note that for a fail-safe eCommerce project it is highly recommended that the retailer is physically present in the web store having a real name instead of pseudonym, putting a personal picture and being ready to communicate with customers, explain the process of placing the order and proceeding with it. Simply let your customers feel that they know at least something about you to be certain that someone will take care of them.</p>
<p>Additionally, you should give clear and accessible information about your company, your contact information, customer service. It&#8217;s highly preferable to present these options as links on your eCommerce website&#8217;s main navigation menu. What&#8217;s also important here is to provide the answers to the commonly asked questions using FAQs, for instance. Your customers will feel comfortable with a fully developed customer service policy. They will also feel secure in your store if there is SSL on your online payment pages, some visible signs that your site is secure and online payment systems are safe. Plus you can show credibility signs like 3rd party trust logos, security audits of your website, accreditation logos included in strategic points on your site, etc. The above-mentioned factors are actually the prime concern of every potential online shopper.</p>
<p>Do you know that the visitors are sure to give up shopping with eCommerce websites that have large sections under construction or offer coming soon banners, stores that never offer any new content, littered with dead links, hosted by providers that provide slow or inconsistent services? Be sure, all this will kill online shopping and a business eventually. It is extremely important that you, as a solid online retailer, could afford to professionally maintain your eCommerce website, otherwise the visitors will leave you.</p>
<p>To make your eCommerce website a high converting machine that not only has top-quality look, but also builds tremendous credibility, you may apply to Template Monster that&#8217;s having this killing promo currently &#8211; their <strong><a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/presentations/ecommerce-templates-discount.php" target="_blank">eCommerce Templates are 20% off starting August 25th</a></strong>.
