Absolute Web Design Ltd have created Smart Merchant (www.smartmerchant.co.uk), a turn key, e-commerce shopping cart system and e-marketing tool, which provides a complete solution for any business large or small, wanting to begin selling it’s products or services on line.
The innovative Smart Merchant system, bridges the gap between low budget ‘built it your self’ shopping cart software and high cost, custom designed web sites provided by traditional web development firms.
With Smart Merchant, it’s possible for any company to set up a fully functioning on line store literally within a few short hours. The completely web based system enables a business owner to take full control of their web site content by adding products and information using a series of simple to use, web based forms and familiar, word processor style page editing tools.
Depending on budget, the trader can choose from a wide range of design options for the look and feel of their web site. These options start with a collection of free web site templates which can be used straight off the shelf, and scale upwards to custom designed graphics that can be created in line with a company’s corporate id.
The key to the system is simplicity of use for the site administrator. Business owners and their employees do not require any special training or skills to make full use of the system’s powerful features. Even the most inexperienced computer user can easily take control of every aspect of maintaining a web based store. Whether adding, deleting or editing products and company information, or processing customers orders and payments, everything is done through Smart Merchant’s easy to use back office system.
