Site Emphasis, Site Emphasis, Site Emphasis, say that three times fast. Your site needs to stay on topic to achieve the desired action. I learned that little tip from Jakob’s website, and it was a lesson that I will never forget. Keep your site focused, and your visitors will be able to see what you see.

I was asked to write a review about North London PC Repair, and I have to  appoligize. It’s going to be a lesson in keeping your site focused. Does this giant screen shot I took from their home page look like PC repair?

Nope…It’s a Boss Cart eCommerce ad. Ads to webmasters are important. It’s how we make money. Unfortunately in this case the ad is overwhelmingly huge, and kills the sites emphasis. The site was initially designed for a PC repair company in North London. Unfortunately the message is half way lost. I say halfway because that is about how big the Boss Cart Ad is. Site Emphasis is the second thing I check for when doing my usability analysis. When we design a website there are a lot of ways we can confuse a visitor. Giant ads that match site content isn’t confusing, is borderline misleading. Make a point to keep your site focused, and make the ads clearly ads as well.

When Picking your ads, or deciding whether or not to have ads on your site, make sure they don’t confuse the main message. Let your site be clear, and your ads (be clear that they are ads that is).

Need a shopping cart for your website? I was checking out Boss Cart today, and it appears to be an excellent one. If you have just a few items, or are just starting out with your first ecommerce site, it is always nice to start with a free shopping cart.

Boss Cart is currently available two ways, and soon a third option will be available. The first is my favorite, free. All you have to do is paste a little code in the footer of your site to agree to the terms of usage.

Here is a list of some features with this free version, Boss Cart JV. The JV stands for Joomla Virtumart.

  • Quick and easy to set up
  • Powerful catalogue manager, manages over 20,000 products
  • Tools to create your own unique design or use pre-designed themes
  • Integrate your online store with payment gateway of your choice
  • Host your shop with web hosting company of your choice
  • Extensive marketing and merchandising features, including social marketing plugin
  • Bulk product upload to make populating your store easy
  • 30 Days money back guarantee

The second version, Boss Card Premium is a paid version. Though you must ask for a quote, the owner has ensured me that this is very “affordable eCommerce Software“.

The third package, soon to be offered, is the bespoke shopping software, Boss Cart Optimum. This is a 100% customized package for your ecommerce site needs. You are not really buying a software package here though. You are buying experienced shopping cart experts. They will then give your site a truly unique, customized shopping experience, available only to your visitors.

Looking Around on The Web

Before putting a software package like this to use, I first like to look around a little to see who else is using it, and how it’s being used. Doing a quick search on Google for “enhanced by bosscart”, I found 695 links. I had no problem at all finding many sites using the free version, and the ones I visited appeared to be working very well.

If you are using this ecommerce software please let us know how it works for you by posting a comment below. My two cents? Two thumbs up!
