Christmas is just a few days away and you can see Christmas decorations everywhere. But what happens to online stores? Many of them do not seem to be ready for Christmas! I believe that online stores should be decorated as well to get shoppers in festive mood.

Below you can find some links to Christmas animations, flesh cards and pictures that will help you decorate your online store.

Stephanie Roberts is a web developer who has designed and maintains websites for over 150 clients. Many of these are eCommerce sites. Today she shares with us her experience with Avactis.

Emily: You have several stores built using Avactis software. What do you like best about Avactis?

Stephanie: I love many things about Avactis, but the two things I love most are:

1. How easy it is for me to set up. I can easily edit the site design to suit my clients, import their data, and have a store up and running in just a few hours.

2. How easy it is for the client to learn to manage the back end. Everything is very neat and organized, with everything pertaining to a particular product right there on the product pop-up window, and conveniently tabbed so it's easy to find.
