WHY IS THIS E-COMMERCE Platform DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS?

The latest system uses Web 2.0 and AJAX technologies to deliver one of the most advanced and search engine friendly systems around. The system creates physical pages for every product and allows the client to FIND and ENTER the most relevant page text and meta data with every product - which ensures search engines can find every product on the site. At the same time the site feeds all products to www.Froogle.co.uk, Google Base, Yahoo Site Maps and Google Site Maps to ensure the site gets the greatest search engine recognition with zero marketing costs.

The system uses a combination of the following languages:

• ASP.NET (2)
• MS SQL
• XML / RSS Feeds
• Javascript
• HXTML

This e-commerce system has a number of features that where not available on our former systems, including:

Page Name and Data Creation - URL re-writing

Many dynamic and e-commerce web sites are unwittingly part of the Invisible web, because database characters like #&*!% - which are often found in the ' address bar' when looking at products on e-commerce sites are "spider traps". These characters indicate database-generated pages and will keep search engines spiders from going any further into the site. Search engines get "stuck" in these sites, so they have been programmed to detect and then ignore dynamic pages.

Using ASP.NET our system allows you to set all the information required to make each product page a search engine friendly 'physical page'. This means that each time you add another product to the system actually creates the physical pages with all the information needed to get the page listed on Search Engines. At the same time as creating the page the system automatically creates and updates XML files that are required for the Feeds Module below.

Feeds Module

The feed module is aimed at listing your products on more than just your own website. The importance of listing your products on sites like those mentioned below is becoming increasingly important:

• Froogle
• Google Base
• Google Site Maps
• Yahoo Shopping
• Kelkoo
• Any RSS reader

Our latest e-commerce system automatically creates the required TEXT, XML, RSS feeds so your products have the greatest chance of being found online.

Site Map Module

This module create dynamic site maps which make it easier for search engine bots to crawl your website whilst also creating an XML version which is uploaded to Google and Yahoo to enhance the speed pages are listed.

Statistics Module

If you have ever wondered which products customers where viewing then this module will answer your questions. This module allow you to see which products attach the most visitors, which products attract the most sales and look at graphs to show the data over set periods.

Marketing & Newsletter Module

Once you've built a client list through your website it is extremely important to keep customers up to date with the latest offerings. This module allows you to create a newsletter by adding products from your website. Once you've created your newsletter you can then save it or move directly into choosing who to send it to. Rather than send an untargeted offering to all your customer base the system allows you to filter your counters by Gender, Location, Previous Purchases, Last Purchase Date etc and then send a targeted email to a specific group. i.e... Women who purchased Shoes can receive an email with the latest shoes where as women how purchased Clothes can receive an email with the latest Dresses.

The problem with getting online:

The problem for many businesses is that while they appreciate the potential of doing business online, it is difficult to determine the best way to start off. Essentially, doing business on the internet can be broken down into four main requirements.

On-Line E-Commerce Store

The obvious requirement is an on-line store, or commerce-enabled Web site where goods or services can be described and selected. Many of our existing customers have benefited from our powerful product directories and online shopping baskets.

Northwest Online have experience with integrating existing product databases, or developing new ones to suit your requirements, allowing your web site to work the way you do. This means less fuss and no additional training.

Once you have a system in place it is a simple matter of updating the web site with your latest products & services, providing descriptions and quality photographs of the products.

Payment Processing Online

While it is possible to run an on-line store without accepting on-line payments, this is cumbersome and rarely successful. Accepting on-line payments via credit cards is currently the most effective means of online transactions but requires high level of security precautions, best delivered through a professional like Northwest Online.

We have intergrated e-commerce platforms with:

• Barclays EPDQ
• Protx
• Pay Pal
• Natwest Streamline
• and many more

Shipping/Order Fulfillment

Once you've made your sale, you've got to deliver the goods. During the ordering process the web site will collect all the delivery & billing details you require and can be automatically forwarded on to your sales team for immediate processing. The system will even track your orders and provide your customers with a secure area where they can track the status of their order.

Promotion of your E-commerce website

Even if you do everything else right, without successful promotion your on-line business will fail. We develop all our sites to be search engine accessible to ensure your site is promoted as effectively as possible.
