Ecommerce Shopping CartAdding ecommerce to your website has become affordable. If you want to sell products on the web on a budget then we have the perfect shopping cart  for you. This cart is feature rich allowing you to sell products that are both shipped and downloadable.  Items like ebooks and mp3′s can be downloaded after the sale. Take credit cards using your payment gateway and merchant account or use PayPal.

New Year, New Location and Google Local

January 9th, 2012

In mid-December ABC Web Service moved our office to a new location. We are very excited as the new office is much nicer, a bit larger and in a great location! It took a lot of time  to move the furniture and computers and everything else in the office.  It has also taken us a lot of time to change the address on our bank accounts, our credit cards, let our vendors know we have moved and of course let our customers know the new address.

One of the most important address changes we had to do is update our Google Places Listing! Updating an existing Google Local listing can take weeks! We also had to update the address with Bing and Yahoo and lots and lots of online directories like Yelp, City Search, Twitter, Facebook…… The list seems never ending. It is important that this information is updated as soon as possible, every day that Google has the old address online is a day we might lose a potential customer if they stop by the old office and we are not to be found.

Keeping online business information current and accurate can be time consuming but it is absolutely necessary. Today people look online to find information about businesses, store hours, address and phone numbers and much more. Even if you have not moved ABC can help you keep your online information accurate and up to date. If your business is not yet listed in Google Places or many other online sources we can do that for you.

WordPress is Not Just for Blogging

September 27th, 2011

WordPress is so much more than just blogging software! Using WordPress as a Content Management System gives the website owner a powerful tool to market their business. We know that keeping your website updated can help in search engine rankings. Regularly adding fresh content to your website can keep your link above your competitors in the search engines.

WordPress allows the business owner to update the text and images on their website. This puts you in control of your website, there is no need to call your webmaster to make updates or to change information on the pages.  Simply log-in to your administration screen. Click on the name of the page you wish to edit and make your changes.  After making your changes hit the update button. That’s it,  the site has been updated with the new content, images or pages. If you can use Microsoft Word then you should have no problem using WordPress.

Functionality is another reason to use WordPress, with plug-ins you can extend the functionality of your website. There are thousands of plugins available and most are free. Build an email  list and send out your own mass emails with a plugin. Ask you visitors to answer questions with a poll plug-in or build photo galleries and photo slideshows.  There are tons of possibilities!

Here are some examples of websites that are built using WordPress.
