    Contract with no client cancellation clauses

    Thank you for your attempts here, I m now busy reading the Unfair Contract Terms legislation. It's early days to see if they end up acting in contradiction to what was offered, though the specification to which my boss signed was incredibly vague (their advantage I imagine).

    Contract with no client cancellation clauses

    My boss signed a contract 1 month before I started that included 9 cancellation clauses, but none in favour of the client (us) - they were all how the supplier can cancel. The contract related to some digital services that were vague and generic. He still signed it and I accept that mistake. We...

    Migrate From Magento To Shopify...Easy Or Not?

    I'd also question the move to Shopify - they've got great marketing but their new customer churn is huge (and they male 80% of the revenue as a kickback from Stripe processing payments). Shopify does suit plenty but the costs go up quickly when you add apps. Re : migration- it depends how...

    Hidden h1 class="hero-title-h1 mobile-padding hidden" for SEO?

    Personally I'd be increasing my new business outreach with a view to dropping a client that acted like this. You simply can't win. - Give in, it works, they doubt you - Give in, it doesn't work, you're right but they don't like you - Walk away

    Question for creating a website for my online store

    Hey @Jess78 - you want to avoid monthly fees? But even with WordPress or opencast etc there are still monthly/annual hosting server fees - so you should factor these costs in anyway. You will have to pay a small % in gateway fees with anyone - for example 1.4% with Stripe or 3.4% with paypal...

    Magneto Vs Opencart VS WP woocommerce Vs Shopify which is best ??

    And I you knew much about DEO you’d know that yoast helps clients with about 15% of what SEO is, hardly identifying any issues that dodgy WooCommerce themes, poor product data construction and design can cause. Close to Magento? Not a chance. One is for lazy people, the other is for highly...

    I don't know where to start...

    Hi Dan Look at your skill set first - what you’ve acquired, and what your desires are. It’s got to be something you enjoy. Can you sell? Directly or indirectly? Are you good with accounting figures? Are you good at organising - project schedules and resourcing? What excites you? Once you’ve...

    Ecommerce platform bundles

    Kits or bundles is a standard feature in Shopit, in fact so is everything. Faster than Magento, easier to configure and manage, and you ONLY pay based on your usage - not fixed costs for limited features. Check out www.vimeo.com/shopit and take a look inside

    Ecwid

    Yes variations/variants should be basic feature sets - but the big players always want you to upgrade until you’re spending £200/mth for a standard set. Can I recommend looking at www.vimeo.com/Shopit - their business model is to give customers EVERYTHING in functionality from day one, but only...

    Advice switching from Magento to Woocommerce (wp) or Opencat

    We build projects on Shopit - a faster, multi site orientated platform that’s easy to manage. Magento is powerful but slooooow, costs a fortune to maintain and is old school tech. WooCommerce can be built to be powerful but is littered with bugs, is not directly supported by any one company, is...
