Why did you choose Tradingeye as your ecommerce platform?

Tradingeye was recommended to us by our web design company, FCS Websites. We wanted a system that is easy for us to use and Tradingeye has a great control panel. It was also important for our site to be visible to search engines and Tradingeye has good optimisation features and search engine friendly code.

Could you please let us know about your project?

The Natural Remedy Company is a place where anyone can buy natural remedies for many common & not so common ailments & conditions. Many people are aware of using alternative medicine for things now-a-days but often are overwhelmed as to where to go & lack the knowledge as to what they might need. The Natural Remedy Company not only sells a range of such products but we also have an in-house expert who can be contacted for individual advice who is a qualified homeopath & nutritional therapist. The requirement for the site design was that it should be predominantly user friendly, simple to navigate & easy to use.

Do you have any future plans for the site?

At the moment we sell two ranges but are looking into expanding this over time. We are currently adding to our own range of supplements on the site & are also in the process of developing our own range of aromatherapy creams/lotions as well as a mummy & baby range.

Why did you choose Tradingeye as your ecommerce platform?

Tradingeye was recommended to us by a Komodo.  I wanted the site to be built with the creativity that I knew Komodo could deliver, using a system that is user friendly. The usability of Tradingeye impressed me right from the start and the online demos were very helpful, setting it apart from the competition.

Could you please let us know about your project?

Love It Love It Love It is a boutique for clothes to fit kids aged 0-5. The main theme of the clothes we sell is that they are brightly coloured, comfortable and full of character. This is great for the kids because they’re stimulating but allow freedom of movement, and for the parents because the clothes are easy to care for, and last for ages. The requirement for the site design was that it should be friendly, colourful and stylish.

Do you have any future plans for the site?

At the moment the site only sells clothes. The range will be expanded for next season, and the core range will be added to with home decor, bedding and own brand clothes in time.

Ruby Loves Red is an online gift store that focuses on the best handmade and printed products made by talented designers and crafts people. Owned by artist Sandra Cassidy (and designed and built by her web designer husband Danny Cassidy) the shop has been born out of a love for all things cute, quirky and original hence ‘Gifts With Character’.

Why did you choose Tradingeye as your ecommerce platform?

Site designer Danny Cassidy explains, “I was initially attracted to Tradingeye because its accessibility/compliance features. As a web designer I’m a big fan of content management systems that output well structured, clean HTML and Tradingeye seemed to do this very well. From a functionality point of view Tradingeye’s feature list offers incredible value for money. We also liked the idea of having a dedicated support team available if there should be any technical glitches along the way.”

Could you please let us know about your project?

Ruby Loves Red was originally developed as a blog at the start of 2009. After a while we added a simple Paypal shopping cart then quickly realised that if we wanted to grow the business then we would need an integrated shopping cart and that’s when we selected Tradingeye. From design concept to launch took around three months although a significant proportion of that time was spend collating content.

Do you have any future plans for the site?

It’s still early days for the site but we’re confident that the hard work we’ve put in from the social media and blogging side of things will translate into sales on the new site. We’re particularly keen to implement alternative ways displaying products on the home page, perhaps using Jquery. We’re also really excited about using Tradingeye’s reporting features as a way of obtaining valuable marketing information about customers and product lines.

Do you have anything else you would like to share?

Tradingeye packs some incredibly powerful features considering it’s a reasonably priced off the shelf package and we’re looking forward to exploring all its potential as our business grows and develops.

It’s official. A Tradingeye site has been named of the top 35 most Beautiful E-Commerce Websites around.

Design and web development experts Smashingmagazine www.smashingmagazine.com has trawled the internet in search for some of the best e-commerce websites around.

Keeping an eye out for sites that are attractive, simple and easy to navigate, it has selected the top 35 sites that tick all of its boxes.

And one of our Tradingeye powered sites, Ten Little Monkeys www.tenlittlemonkeys.co.uk, designed by Darren Alawi www.darrenalawi.com, has made it onto the bill.

The judges said: “This design has a very strong visual appeal; vibrant colours work well on the dark background, the navigation is colourful yet intuitive – notice how the section for girls and boys are distinguished.

“Also, the choice of typography is appropriate for the shop’s main objective: selling branded children’s fashion and gifts.”

Tell us a little about your company.

Merry Dogs is an online store selling high-quality dog accessories to the UK.  We sell durable and stylish handmade dog collars, leads, dog beds, toys and bowls.  We specialise in products made in the UK and USA by small, dog-mad companies who are producing fabulous, fun and durable products for dogs.

Why did you choose Tradingeye as your ecommerce platform?

Tradingeye was recommended to us by a developer we approached. We wanted Merry Dogs to be a site we could more or less manage ourselves once it was live, and of course it had to be search engine friendly.  And it needed to fit with what our customers wanted from the site – easy to use, with lots of images and background information on each product and a secure shopping environment.

Could you please let us know about your project?

We had a few changes made to the basic package by Tradingeye and then the project was developed by Semlyen, a York-based web consultancy.  Now it is live we do 90% of the work ourselves, and this has worked out well.

Do you have any future plans for the site?

We’ll be adding new products, searching out new suppliers, and developing our two-way interaction with our customers.

Do you have anything else you would like to share?

The site functions very well and customers have commented on its accessibility and usability.
