Yahoo! Small Business stores make it very easy to make a mobile version of your site available to customers. There is a big downside to this: it won’t automatically match your desktop site. This can sometimes make it confusing for customers, especially if they’re used to your desktop site! Even if their first exposure to your store is through mobile, doesn’t it make sense to style your adaptive mobile template to match your desktop experience? Read more

Yahoo Small Business, the makers of Yahoo Store, have made it easy to make your store compliant with Google Chrome’s new requirement that your store be fully secure. This security requirement has been discussed in many forms since 2014. Google has boosted secure stores to higher positions in search results pages, while Google Chrome promotes stores that are secure with a very official looking “SECURE” message by the URL bar.

Hello Yahoo Store Owners, my name is Kevin Richards… I’m the founder and CEO of Ventura Web Design. Thank you for watching this video because we made it just for you.
So you know that it’s already the middle of September and Christmas is literally right around the corner. We get calls every year from store owners who want to know what they can do to maximize sales on their yahoo store this holiday season.
Even though the Christmas shopping season is only a few weeks away, you’re in luck because there are definitely some things you can do.
First, stop whatever you’re doing and pull out your cell phone. Really, do it… It’s okay, I’ll wait.
Okay, now that you’ve got your phone out, go to your website and take a look at it. Use the search box, look at the front page, use the navigation. Add some items to the cart. Try to checkout. And don’t just go into the cart, go all of the way. See what it’s really like to be a customer of your store. Remember that more than 50% of all web traffic is mobile now, so this is how most customers will use, or try to use, your website this holiday season.
So here’s the key. If you haven’t specifically built a mobile friendly website yet, one that has great graphics, big click areas, and loads quickly over the air (not just WiFi), then you’re absolutely going to lose money this holiday season.
Stop and think about that — I just told you that you’re going to lose a huge chunk of money this season. I can guarantee it 100%. I can say this because I know that your competitors are not only going to outrank you on Google and Bing, but they’re going to receive orders that you should be getting.
So what are you going to do about it?
Like I said earlier, it’s not too late. We can still help you. Call us today and we will give you several solutions to help you maximize your sales this holiday season.
Next… if your site is already mobile friendly, the next thing to do is put together a marketing calendar. There, I said it.. Marketing Calendar.
I know… you’re sitting in your comfy office chair saying to yourself “Ohh yeah, sure… in my spare time.” Well here’s the thing… You are going to have a lot more spare time if you don’t get a holiday marketing calendar in place right now.
Yet again, Ventura Web Design comes to the rescue. Call us today and we can not only help prepare your marketing campaign, but we will do the design, programming, and everything else required to make sure that your store continues to be a success.
We all know that E-commerce is Easy, right? Anyone can do it! And that’s why it’s so important for you to not sit back and relax, but to get out ahead of the competition. You’ve probably been running your store for 5 to 10 years… Things are going great right? Well, now is time to take things to the next level.
Give my team a call today. We’re a boutique digital marketing agency. That means we’re small. We’re not the wal mart of web design. We know your name and we care about your success.
We specialize in e-commerce and we have been building Yahoo Stores for more than 15 years.
