    Great advice for optimising site, but haven't got the know-how to do it!

    The things you mentioned are fairly easy to sort out. Pretty much related to SEO. Title of the pages can be changed in the html in the <title> </title> tags. robots.txt file simply explains to the crawlers how/when to index your site. Magento isn't so hard to gets to grips with once you...

    Will responsive websites lead to a web design boom?

    I don't think it will ever reach such a stage. Granted things are evolving, I still see huge potential for the traditional way we browse and use the internet. The way we used the internet 10-15 years ago is the same way we use it now. Not much has really changed. Due to faster home...

    experts-exchange - what! pay for free information?

    I think experts-exchange is an excellent resource worth much more than the few pounds a month. It's not about just reading the information, the paying members can ask complex questions and receive some decent answers. I personally have a subscription with them, and give a subscription to all...

    Any opinions on X-Cart hosting?

    If a certain company is receiving good recommendations, then it is certainly worth looking into. That said, you should also have a look at other companies as a lot of hosts can offer x-cart hosting. We personally have a quite a large amount of users utilising x-cart on our systems without any...

    Hi - web hosting ecommerce

    Hi Claire, It depends on what your requirements are. SiteSell to me looks quite limited on functionality, but that's just based of their website. I don't see any mention of the various plans, network, type of support etc. If you are doing e-commerce, then it's best to choose a host that can...
