Marketworks, a multi-channel e-commerce software solutions provider
, today announced it has teamed up with Google to create a variety of
new e-commerce storefront templates that will make it easier for small
businesses to have a professional-looking Web site with built-in Google
Checkout and everything they need to sell online.
Effective immediately, Marketworks customers can select from 12 new
professionally-designed storefront templates to instantly transform the
look of their Google Checkout-enabled storefronts. Previously,
customers only had two choices for their storefronts; use a simplistic
template that was obviously pre-designed or higher a designer to
develop a professionally-designed site.
However, with Marketworks’ new professionally-designed storefront
templates, customers can get professional designs and customize them to
meet the look and feel of their brand and business, the best of both
worlds, without the additional costs.
"The most important factor in driving customer conversion is having a
professionally-designed storefront," says Ken Powell, chief executive
officer, Marketworks. "We've added professional graphic design elements
to Marketworks’ e-commerce technology to make it even easier for our
customers to get a look and feel they can be proud of."
After Google recently approached Marketworks regarding developing a
solution allowing it to extend Google Checkout to its customer base,
Marketworks jumped on the opportunity. Marketworks immediately began
developing a strategy for building and launching
professionally-designed storefront templates that were pre-enabled with
Google Checkout.
Marketworks’ professionally-designed storefronts are Google
Checkout-enabled, which allows customers to launch their storefront and
be ready to accept orders very quickly. Additionally, all
professionally-designed templates are free for Marketworks customers.
Marketworks’ professionally-designed storefront templates are part of
its overall efforts to help small businesses create more professional
e-commerce storefronts that leverage the company’s Google Checkout free
transaction-processing service.
