One the keys to our success was selecting the Yahoo! Store system.  Their functionality was and still is significantly superior to any other web store hosting system we have evaluated.  In the three years we have been a Yahoo! Store, we have seen tons of new features and functionality added.  In addition, Yahoo! Store's tools allow us to quickly find out where our business is each day...from the big picture right down to the nitty-gritty details.  We can access our accounting system, affiliate programs, email campaigns, etc all from one page.  Finally, their promotion of Yahoo.com and Yahoo! Shopping has been outstanding.  We attribute over 20% of our overall revenue from it.

One of the keys to our recent success was adopting Ydesigns.com™.  We didn't want "just another" Yahoo! Store any longer.  We wanted something different...a design that would be professional in its look and very accommodating to the shopper.  After evaluating all of the top designers, we selected ydesigns.com™ due to their reputation and responsiveness. They took our look and navigation from homemade to professional in just weeks. Not only do these guys know the Yahoo! Store system inside and out, they are some of the most creative we have seen in web design...plus, they are just really nice guys!  In the end, where the rubber hits the road was what we were most concerned about...i.e., Sales!   Although many factors influence sales, we attribute a large part of our rapid growth in 2000-Q4 to the new design.   In addition, we have seen the number of items and dollars spent per order increase.  We feel very blessed to have found them and are currently working with them on "phase III" of the design.  Thank you Ydesigns.com™!”

"We contracted Ydesigns™’ services because the quality of store design shows how serious you are about your business. Ydesigns™’ touch gave credibility to our business. Small companies can now compete with billion dollar corporations at the same level. If you don't have the look of a serious company, customers won't even bother placing their orders on your site.

With online retail, store appearance plays an even more essential role as it represents your entire enterprise to the shopper.  A storeowner can’t physically greet the person who is on the other side of your monitor.

Customers will not give you a chance unless you look legitimate and stand out from the crowd.

That's where Ydesigns™ enters the game. They pulled us out of a crowd and into what we believe should be the top 10% of the e-commerce universe.

You have to be in that top 10% to be even considered by customers. Looking like everyone else isn’t even an option."
