At the onset of 2015, Kerri made the difficult decision to step down as CJ’s President and currently operates in an advisory capacity.

A website without a live chat widget is like a shop without shop assistants. Very often, when potential customers are visiting your e-shop or business website, they are also comparing features and prices of your products to other websites. The first e-shop answering all their questions and queries is the one which gets the purchase. If your customers can not wait, add the Smartsupp live chat widget.

Talking with Smartsupp CEO – Vladimir Sandera, he described the results of a big case study of a famous Czech e-shop. “The e-shop has over 200 000 visitors per month. We could see that the visitors chatting with the e-shop salespeople had the conversion rate of 12,6 %, meanwhile the non-chatting visitors had the conversion rate of  1,7 % – which means live chat leads to 7 times better conversion rate! We also discovered that the visitors who were chatting made larger orders on average, so every chatting visitor is valuable.”

In this article, I will just focus on how to get the maximum of the Smartsupp free version for your Webnode business website and e-shop. Here are some advantages of having a live chat on your website:

• You will provide faster average response time to your potential customers, increasing the opportunities of selling more.
• Improving your customer satisfaction index will help you build trust among your clients.
• Live chat widget allows you to see how many visitors are on your website in real time, including the ones that are not chatting with you.
• You can collect and save the email addresses of your visitors in order to use them for your email marketing campaigns.

How to Insert the Smartsupp Live Chat Widget to Your Webnode Website

The first step is to sign up to the Smartsupp system. Once you have access to your account, the system will generate the embed code that you can insert to your site.

Copy the embed code of the Smartsupp live chat widget

Then copy the embed code that appears in the frame and insert it into your Webnode site or e-shop with “embed code” function. If you don’t remember the way to do it, please follow this tutorial.

If you want the live chat window to appear on every page of your site, not only in the homepage, please follow the next steps to add the embed code through the “Advanced settings” of Webnode editor:

1. Go to the  editor of your project.
2. Click on “Templates” and choose the “Advanced settings” in the menu displayed.
3. Once inside, click on the button “More” and choose the option “Embed code” to paste the code you have copied.

Inserting the widget in the “Advanced settings”

I hope this widget will help you improve the relationships with your customers and increase your sales.

The post Top 10+1 Webnode Websites of 2014 appeared first on Webnode blog.

Recently, our users in Russia, Sweden and Norway have got several new benefits. If your company or project are also represented in these countries, do not miss our update.

A domain name has a great impact on the fate of a website and its further development. Your own domain can help to increase the credibility of your website and help search engines to assess it faster and better. It will immediately show which country your project belongs to and what your visitors can  expect from your website. Also your site will look localized and search engines will suggest it as more relevant for those who are looking for something in the local language.

You probably already have international domain like .com, .net or .org. There is no need to worry, you can have unlimited number of domains connected to one website. Even if you add another domain to your website, you will still keep the position you have reached with the .com domain.

What’s more, with your own domain you can create an email address and increase the authenticity of your company. Yes, email address like info@mycompany.no looks more professional then mycompany@gmail.com

Domains .NO joined the team!

We’ve got a new member in our domain catalogue. Now you can register .NO domains with Webnode! These domains were always some of the most regulated ones, for example only since June 2014 it is allowed to register domains for individuals, before that only companies were eligible to do so.

The main reasons people were happy to start registering .NO domain were:

• they didn’t want anybody else to take domain with their name
• they wanted to use their own email and be able to control it
• they wanted to have domain for personal use, and not for a company*

No surprise that there were 7 000 more domains registered in the last 5 months (compared with the previous 5 months) despite the season of summer holidays and vacations.

As with all other domains, it is very easy to register .NO domain right from the administration panel of your project. All you need to is  just follow these steps.

Changes in .RU domains: Cheaper and Quicker

But that’s not all – we also improved the .RU domain registration. From now on a domain is registered immediately after we’ve received your order, and thanks to this automatic process it was possible to offer a significant price reduction. The registration now is cheaper! The price of .RU domains starts at 12, 95$. You can register an unlimited number of domains with your Webnode website. Just choose the most suitable ones for your site! Doubting whether to choose .RU or .РФ domain? See our recommendations.

Of course, it may happen that you’ve already registered a domain with another registrar. In this case there is a solution – you can transfer it to us for free. Just send us a short message to support@webnode.com   and we’ll be happy to guide you.

Changes in .SE domains: Nice and Simple

Now .SE domain registration is even easier. As soon as we receive your payment, the domain will be registered automatically. No need for the confirmation of your email address. To make your life easier you can transfer your domain to us as well, even if you’ve already registered it anywhere else. Everything in one place under one account will help you to save time and effort.

Share your website with the local domain name in comments!

This month, we open the “online door” of Châssis Wallonie (Frames of Wallonie), a Belgian company specialized in the installation of frames and doors. Not only you will see a great website, you’ll also be inspired by this great example of how to to make a successful website for business. Keep reading to learn a lot.

The site www.chassisdewallonie.com was created by Michel Baldacchino for the frames and doors company Châssis Wallonie: “Our structure includes four companies that are active in various fields of the market. Some of them are in business for already more than 20 years. We came together to offer better support to our customers, to meet their needs and their expectations while respecting their budget. ”

Mr. Baldacchino gives a lot of credit to have a business website: “It´s essential for a company nowadays. It helps us to talk about the company itself, our products and services, but mostly to show our know-how and keep a constant connection with our potential customers seeking this industry. ”

Homepage of Châssis de Wallonie

A great design and structure to offer the best user browsing experience

Châssis Wallonie uses the responsive template Trendy. “This model is easy to setup and proves clear visibility for the customers”. Moreover, this template fits all devices and visitors can browse with their mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets as comfortably as on their computer.

The potential customer finds all the necessary information very fast thanks to the clever organization of the homepage. A great example is how Mr. Baldacchino shows all the products and services available – each of them has its own image. By clicking on the image, all the related information of the product will be shown in an individual page.

The range of products offered on the home page

If a customer wants to know more about the selected product, he can download the product catalog in pdf format, as shown here: chassisdewallonie.com/chassis-windows

And also, another great thing you should consider for your business website: a Call To Action button to encourage visitors to do some action of your interest. In this case, the CTAs suggest visitors to request a personalized quote contacting directly the company. This buttons have been made using a picture and inserting a hyperlink, driving users to a contact form specific for the product.

“Get a quote” – Call To Action Button

The company has a new logo that tastefully combines red and blue. And since the colors in the entire website are in harmony with the logo, the site design is more consistent and professional looking. Also, the logo is shown as a favicon – the icon that appears next to the address bar of your browser. You can create a favicon for your website too!

Châssis Wallonie´s logo 

2 smart ways to use the forms

As we have already mentioned, Châssis Wallonie offers users to reach the company by filling a short contact form. Whether they need to get a personalized quote or ask any question. But there´s another very interesting way to use the form and that is as an email collector for sending newsletters to customers. The newsletter is a great tool to keep the customers updated in everything related to the company. New products, offers, services and even upcoming events.

Having a website is “crucial”

The Webmaster of Châssis Wallonie has managed to create a really attractive and well organized site, despite the fact that he doesn’t have any special knowledge in this field. “Webnode is simple and intuitive solution that matched my knowledge of creating websites that, I must say,  was not extensive. But thanks to being part of this technological generation, I can easily understand the proposed solution.”

He realizes that creating a business website is crucial, but it should not mean that you can rest on your laurels: “Having a website is good, but if people think it´s enough, they are already making a bad decision. That will impact the development of their business. I devote a little time to keep it alive, using social networks to point to my site regularly, investing a small budget in Google Adwords campaigns, creating link exchanges with other websites related to my market for better references, using my newsletter to keep in touch with my clients / visitors, etc. In a nutshell, if you are not dynamic enough, your competitors will always be better than you..

Do you also have a very attractive website? Share it with us in the comments below.

This encourages us to keep creating unique designs as well as new functional features. So in order to help you grow, we have launched Sticky and Breeze, 2 template sets like you´ve never seen before.

Sticky and Breeze are 2 new sets of templates that are very visual and have a wide range colors.

And of course, like the Trendy, Stylic & Inspire template sets, they have a responsive design which allows them to adapt to any screen resolution, whether its desktop or mobile, so you wont lose any visitor engagement.

Sticky is Webnode’s first panoramic template

In order to improve the web-browsing experience of your visitors that have widescreen formats (laptops, tablets or smartphones), the new Sticky template set offers a much wider editable space. Including narrower margins for a more visual website.

The new template set for panoramic screen formats

Sticky allows you to delete the header just by changing the “page layout”. So now you will be able to welcome your visitors with more dynamic content such as videos, slideshows or even photo galleries.

The new template set Sticky is available in 10 color combinations

Breeze is the first template where the background picture is highlighted

The background picture has always been used as an element for creating lively visual atmosphere. Being sometimes used for transmitting a feeling and other times to strengthen the corporative image of a business. Breeze goes beyond providing a space in the central column of the page in order to make the background picture highlighted. Being background and foreground at the same time. A totally new creative concept to engage your visitors even more. You will be able to overlap a heading over the background picture, insert the widget buttons of different social networks to gain more followers and also, other kind of buttons that will drive your visitors to the sections of your website that you want to point out.

Just as the template set Nevia, you may also change the background picture of your website with ease. You just have to make click on the button “settings” in the tool bar of your editor. Then select “Heading” and finally, click on “image of the website”. Now you can upload the picture that you want to set as your background.

When you add hard work, passion and a popular topic to your website, you can get great numbers. This is the case of the site Geração Rubro Negra Flamengo (fans of Flamengo football club) that represents the supporters of Flamengo club. Through an excellent connection with their visitors they achieved 535 000 followers on their Facebook page and 90 000 followers on Google + making their website known as well. If you are curious about how you can create a successful football website, be sure to read the interview.

You can find many sites about football, but the site www.geracaorubronegra.com is undoubtedly a great example of how to create a real connection with your visitors. Constantly updated with relevant content to the community they really know what type of information to give and when to give it.

Geração Rubro Negra homepage

Carlos, knowing that devotion for football in Brazil is more than passionate, can you tell us how this website came about and what you intended to convey to the fans of the Flamengo club.

The website geracaorubronegra.com was created as a reference to the Rubro-Negros who love Flamengo. Our story begins in 2010 with starting the fan page Flamengo – Geração Rubro-Negra – GRN-OFFICIAL, being that we were the first fan page on Facebook related to Flamengo, Flamengo did not have one when we started!

How did you get such a huge number of fans?

The impressive fact in all of this is that, we never used any other types of media. We have reached these 535 000 followers without any other advertising methods. We are very proud to have this many followers on Facebook!

The community we created goes beyond the website and Facebook and today we also have followers on Google+ and Twitter, adding more than 90 thousand people to GRN.

How does your website benefit from having such a large social media community?

By having a large audience on Facebook that are also very loyal to the GRN, it facilitates our life in relation to visits to the website. We are with GRN since 2010 and we have already created an identity and gained the trust of our followers. We are eternally grateful to our audience for their patience and faithfulness!

Our publicity basically works via Facebook, it is not ‘word of mouth‘‘, but ‘face to face‘‘. The more likes, shares and comments we get, the more followers we will attract. We also have a partnership with Google + which also helps to spread the word.

The presence that you have on social networks is impressive. Besides 625 000 followers, you are constantly updating your content and always have loyal followers that never fail to participate. Carlos, can you explain to us how it is with managing your social networking?

Our update is a daily process, of course, all within reasonable time. We should not leave the Rubro-Negros followers with old news. We believe that we still need to improve our social network management. Our faithful followers deserve our care and attention, so we will invest in contests and giveaways in future. They deserve it! We try to put as much time and attention as possible to the management of Facebook, but of course, it is impossible to cover 24 hours a day, we need to sleep, eat and see our families.

Google + page – Geração Rubro Negra

We were very surprised with the organization and design of your site whether it is the use of the CSS tool that makes the site interesting to visitors, or the unique and always updated content that puts your website in the first places of Google’s results.

As you know, Webnode offers many possibilities for creating a website and we just had to change some features of the website via the CSS tool, making a viable site for our work. Today we have two people maintaining the website.

We know that the content of our site is very important, and we believe that any good website about football should always contain relevant and updated news.

We wish Carlos and his partner the best with their Webnode website and we really appreciate that they have shared the story of talent and hard work with us. We are sure we will be hearing a lot about their website in future!

Behind every major celebration there is a great dream. When someone puts their trust in your business to make that dream come true, there is no better way to respond than the way “Una Boda Como La Tuya” (A Wedding Like Yours) does. This is confirmed by the number of customers and the “Wedding Awards 2014” prize from Bodas.net, the most visited and most popular Spanish Wedding Shop Portal. We had a chance to sit down with the owners, Marta and Leticia, who revealed to us the secrets behind the success of their fantastic Online Shop that is always ready to make the most important day in the life of their customers an unforgettable experience.

The majority of Online startups have a similar story to tell about their creation. You are looking for something, can not find it and decide to be the one who offers a solution. Marta and Leticia share with us the story of how Una Boda Como La Tuya began. “Marta was asked to organize a special and different wedding. An unforgettable celebration! It was hard to find designer items in an online store, as it was difficult to find very specific ideas. While planning this wedding with personality, she came up with a great new idea to create a small online shop that will serve the people who look for something different for their wedding”.

Online Shop – Una Boda Como La Tuya (A Wedding Like Yours)

A Startup success based on 3 pillars

UBCLT made the difference thanks to the perfect balance between product design and great customer service. Combined with energy, these elements bring even greater guarantees of success to the whole venture.

An original product – All items are made and designed  by Marta and Leticia. All products have been conceived based on customers‘ individual wishes and demands. In their shop you can find everything from Vintage Pins (its star product), invitations, canvases for photocalls and even video-mades. These videos are illustrated by hand and embody the ideas, emotions, and stories of their clients, always with dedication and personalized treatment. “Each client has a story and each story is a unique pictorial piece, this is one of our main principles”.

The post Success Story – “I want an Eshop like yours” appeared first on Webnode blog.

On the 13^th of June 2014 the new EU Consumer Rights Directive applied for all EU member states. The new law helps to make distance (online) selling in the EU easier. The most important change in your E-Shop is the new right for consumers to cancel an order, which came into force without a transition period. Keep reading to find out more about these changes and the easiest way you can implement it in your E-Shop. 

The right for consumers to cancel an order (Right of Withdrawal) was implemented in order for all EU member states to have unified legal standards. The distance selling in E-Shops is becoming easier. The so far existing right to return the delivered product is no longer applicable, because of the new right to cancel an order. Customers are allowed to use this right within 14 days of receiving the product, within all EU member states.

Duties of the customer

Customers are no longer allowed to return products without giving notice. They have to inform the retailer that they are going to use the right of withdrawal.

Duties of the retailer

Retailers have to inform their customers about the new right of withdrawal before they complete the purchase. The information must be available at any time, even after completing the purchase.

The simplest realization

Add a new page in the menu of your Webnode-Shop with the title “Right of Cancellation” or “Right of Withdrawal”.

Example of how the menu of the shop can look like. 

On this page, you can inform your customers about the right to cancel the order along with all necessary details. It is not required by law to add a predefined form for your customers in the shop. However, if you want to do so, we recommend you to insert “Right of Withdrawal” a form directly into the page.

Example of a directly inserted form in the E-Shop.

In this article you find a summary of the most important information regarding the consumer right of withdrawal. Have a look also in the European Guidelines 2011/83/EU.

If you have doubts or any questions, how this affects your business, please contact your legal assistant in order to apply these changes in your E-Shop.

The Story of the Project

Denise Gerrard, change consultant coach and trainer of the UK, has built her website for the promotion of her consultancy Metwou (“Me Two U”). You’ll find all the information you need on her website with it’s easy-to-use layout and simple organization. Template Stylic was an excellent choice for consultancy web design due to its clean, subtle colors.

Denise tells us, My website came about after I had left corporate land and I decided to utilize my skills and, experience. But where to start, how would I get my products and services to market presence? I thought you needed to be pretty techie and savvy to produce your own website, but I wanted to give it a go as opposed to hiring a website developer. 

Homepage of www.metwou.co.uk

To my amazement, I came across a site with lots of templates ready to use and all one had to do was pick one and off you go, easy-peasy, not! As the saying goes, ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’, but boy, I was soon to find out.

The website tools looked easy, but in reality it was a pain in the neck to handle, a bit like driving a car without a steering wheel. Eventually, I got to master its quirky and frustrating little oddities, like trying to decipher Chinese – I’m sure the translation was in there somewhere, but I’m blowed if I had the inclination or will for that matter having spent hours, no come to think about it days, trying to get to grips with uploading and formatting. Eventually, after pulling my hair out and deciding not to touch it unless I really needed to, I left it to stagnate.

And then… one day, I happened to come across Webnode. Well, I decided to give it a go and I’ve never looked back. Love the try before you buy option.   It does exactly what it says on the tin and I upload, format and change anything I want in no-time at all (seconds) and it looks so much more professional. And, before I forget to mention, the customer service is amazing, I actually got to speak with a human-being, Mathew is his name, friendly, professional and provided great customer service.

Thank you Webnode, great product, great service and you do what you say on the tin!  I liked you so much I created another site. Now I have two sites – check my other site at http://www.on-linejustintime.co.uk if you get time (forgive the push and pun!).

Straightforward Navigation

The website’s organization is simple and intuitive. The 6-tab menu gives us a quick overview of what we can find on the website. One of the most important tabs, Services, leads us to the pages of the website that are each dedicated to a particular service.

Menu tabs and Services

Visual Elements to Enrich Information

The website is equipped with elements that enhance the description of services. The use of a slideshow makes for a dynamic platform. On this page you can find a Slideshare widget embedded on the website, providing further information for users.

We also noted the efficient use of charts and graphs to highlight the processes and techniques used during the different services offered.

Apple iPhone 6S VS iPhone 6; Specifications & Features

Design wise, the Apple iPhone 6S is like a close twin to the Apple iPhone 6. The iPhone 6S is thicker and heavier at 7.1mm and 143g as compared to the iPhone 6 which was just 6.9 mm thick and weighed 129g.
Even though both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S has an Aluminium unibody design, the latest gen Apple iPhone 6S is made of 700 series Aluminium, which is of aerospace grade and hence provides better sturdiness to the device’s body. Moreover, this is Apple’s answer to the “#Bendgate” issue that the previous generation faced.

Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S has the same 4.7 inch display with Retina resolution and 326 PPI. But the display of the iPhone 6S has a new technology termed “3D Touch” which allows you to perform various tasks on your iPhone depending on how much of pressure you apply on the screen, similar to the Force Touch technology we saw with the All New Macbook 2015.

The iPhone 6 is a very responsive Smartphone, even according to today’s standards, thanks to the A8 processor and the M8 motion co-processor that the device comes with. And the latest gen iPhone 6S comes with an A9 processor, that handles CPU tasks up to 70 percent faster than the A8 chip, and also can handle GPU loads up to 90 percent faster than its predecessor which means that the iPhone 6S is even faster than the already responsive iPhone 6.

Even though the better processing speeds would not be visible in day to day normal tasks like web browsing or multi tasking, where the power of the new CPU and GPU chips will be felt is mainly in gaming.

The iPhone 6S comes with the latest iOS 9 operating system out of the box. And the iOS 9 update brings in a lot of much needed updates and features into the operating system. The main additions that comes with the iOS 9 operating system includes a new six-digit passcode security, a Power Saving Mode to help improve the battery life of your device and also now the latest iOS 9 operating system consumes much less internal storage space of your Apple device than earlier software versions.

The main improvement of the iPhone 6S as compared to the iPhone 6 comes in the camera department. The Apple iPhone 6 had an 8 MP primary camera along with a 1.2 MP front facing camera. Whereas the iPhone 6S comes with a bumped up all new 12 MP rear facing camera and a 5 MP front facing shooter as well. To back up the great photos that the latest Apple iPhone 6S can take, the device also supports 4K video recording.

Everything seems like an improvement, except in the case of the battery where the iPhone 6 had a 1,810 mAh battery, the iPhone 6S has an even smaller 1,715mAh battery.
