It's no secret. A lot of the functionality you see, and use, on websites is through third-party developed apps (applications, programs, software, etc). And it is no secret that many of those third-party developers offer marketing affiliation benefits. These may be in the form of credits on the cost of the service, commissions paid, or some other benefit. What are these for? To promote their products or services through those who already use the product or service, with the anticipation there will be an endorsement to get others to try and sign up for their product or service.
Listed below are links to some of the apps we make use of, and for which there may be an affiliate marketing relationship. By listing a product or service here, we are not endorsing it, only making a link so you can try it out for yourself and make your own decision to use it. Or not.
Shopify
For ecommerce, our platform of choice is Shopify. Why? Ease of use, support, stability. That is to name a few. For more information or to go ahead and start your Shopify store, use this link:
Out of the Sandbox
Our projects highlighted on the Portfolio tab use the Turbo theme from Out of the Sandbox. Not only is the theme visually appealing, it is fast, as the name implies. For a webstore with a large inventory, speed matters for keeping shoppers engaged. And interested. Take a look at the other themes offered by OOTS and let's find the one to fit your needs.
Rewind
If you are new to Shopify, you will find it is very easy to use, in setting up your shop, building out content pages, adding collections and products. You put in several hours, or days, of hard work, and trust the next day everything will be just as you left it. Then, wham-o! You accidentally wipe out several items. You think to yourself, it's a big, major platform, there has to be a way to recover those items. But there isn't.
That is where Rewind comes in to save the day. Rewind is an inexpensive backup and recovery app you add to your Shopify tech stack that will more than pay for itself the first time you use it. Trust us, we know from experience.
