Site Creation
To get you started, the ShopSite Store Set Up Wizard walks you through the process of designing and configuring your store. Within minutes you can have a small store ready to take orders. Don't worry if you don't know how to design a Web page ShopSite's professionally designed page layout themes make creating a professional looking site as easy as clicking a few buttons.

Don't let the simplicity of ShopSite fool you, though. You have complete control over the look and feel of your site. Add a graphic here, change a background there, place a product on sale, create a "specials" page, or add product variations (like colors and sizes) - all without any coding. Advanced users can easily add HTML and other enhancements to any catalog page.

If you already have a site, and want to commerce-enable it, simply fire up your favorite Web editing program, and drag and drop order buttons from ShopSite directly into your existing Web page. It's that simple.

Creating a professional looking store is only the first step. ShopSite also makes it easy to maintain your site. Instead of manually entering product data for hundreds of products, ShopSite lets you easily upload data from any database or spreadsheet. And you can easily find and edit just the thing you want using ShopSite Power Edit. But even the simplest programs take some getting used to. To help you out, every ShopSite page includes an on-demand context-sensitive "help" feature.

The ShopSite databases are user-friendly. Unlike other programs, you can export, backup, restore, and verify databases through a simple point-and-click interface - helping you ensure that valuable data is preserved and protected.

Customer Service Tools
Online customer service can be a huge headache, but not with ShopSite. ShopSite makes it simple to give your customers world-class customer service. By simply clicking a few check boxes, you can tell ShopSite to send updates to your customers whenever something significant happens to their accounts - such as when a product is shipped, placed on backorder, or when you receive notice of the order.

Additionally, upon receipt of the order, your customers have access to a personal SmartStatement - a Web page that contains up-to-the-minute order information and status, thereby reducing calls to customer service.
