New features, SEO and design tips: Our most clicked blog articles in 2013

Before ending this year we present you a list of blog articles that attracted a great deal of interest. This year, ePages has rolled out two major updates. Consequently, our blog posts about new features belonged to the most outstanding topics of 2013. What’s more, our practical advice in terms of SEO or basket abandonment reduction reached a broad audience.

New features coming with ePages version 6.16

With ePages version 6.16, the new mega menu came to the ePages online shops. This feature allows including all product categories in one single overview that is activated via mouse-over. Also, more that 50 new fonts and even more features to improve your shop’s design were included.

Professional search and smartphone view: highlights in ePages 6.15

Earlier this year, we added a new powerful search to your shop to allow customers finding their desired products even quicker. ePages version 6.15 also brought a completely revamped smartphone view for your shop. Since this update, your online shop also has a content slider to highlight products, news and promotions.

How to improve your online shop’s SEO strategy

This year, our readers were especially keen on SEO tips as Google raised numerous questions about its Penguin, Panda and Hummingbird updates. We delivered answers and advice how to improve your SEO strategy using tools such as Google Adwords.

New feature: Offer customisable products to your customers

In 2013 we fulfilled a big wish of many merchants: We included a feature that enables you to offer customisable products such as cups or shirts.

Tips to reduce shopping basket abandonment

Our practical tips for more success in e-commerce were highly appreciated. For example we explained how to reduce shopping basket abandonment, gave advice for professional shop design and product photography.

Next in Commerce: What will shake the retail industry

2013 also saw the launch of our Next in Commerce project, based on the latest trends and innovations in online and offline commerce.

We hope you have enjoyed this year as much as we did. We wish you a nice holiday season and a happy New Year.
