The dpivision.com Ltd Weblog

Software giant Sage (www.sage.com) has singled out Dpivision as an example of how to trade online.

In its annual report, E-business Benchmark, Sage uses Dpivision as a case study to highlight ways that e-businesses can pave their own way in the tough market.

Wladimir Baranoff-Rossine, managing director, shares his top marketing tips on how to keep a business afloat in such a competitive sector and the variety of ways Dpivision has managed to stay ahead of its game.

To compile the report, Sage Pay (www.sagepay.com) – a UK’s fastest growing payment provider and division of Sage – quizzed more than 2,000, UK-based, online businesses.

Simon Black, Sage Pay boss, said: “As the e-commerce market matures, e-businesses need to do more to make the most of their potential.

“The stats show that merchants are pretty good at getting shoppers to their sites but at the crucial point they are letting customers slip away.”

In case you hadn’t noticed, we have a brand new community forum! New platform, new design, new features.

http://forum.tradingeye.com/

Based on myBB, the new Tradingeye forum offers the community a great place to discuss all things Tradingeye.

A huge thanks goes out to one of our forum admins, Jordan Smith http://forum.tradingeye.com/user-960.html for having generously offered to perform the work for our members and our team.

Jordan has been a huge help and you can find a few questions we asked him
below:

1) Can you tell us a little about your company?
Jet Hosts – Lightning fast web solutions (www.jethosts.co.uk). I am a web designer and a Server Administrator and of course a Tradingeye forum admin!

2) What made you chose Tradingeye?
Tradingeye is a great e-commerce platform both for me as a designer but also for my clients. All the design can be done via the CSS and the admin panel is intuitive. The SEO and marketing features are also a joy to work with.

3) Why another forum?
The previous Tradingeye forum was running www.vbulletin.com which was very bloated and not standards friendly not to mention the growing numbers of spammers! The Tradingeye community has over 12,000 members now so it was time for a change. I put the idea to Tradingeye to use www.mybb.com as I had previous experience with this platform and they agreed.

4) Can you describe the work you did?
Firstly the new forum hot to be setup then we performed the data migration.
All threads, posts and members had to be seamlessly ported over to the new platform. Once this had been done I re-skinned the theme, installed a few plugins such as www.stopforumspam.com and voila!

It’s set to be a busy summer for Dpivision as we gear up to take our products to America and China.
