Need an online store? ISTOS DESIGN delivers E-Commerce solutions that drive conversion by making online sales easier, faster and smarter.
Sell online through your E-Commerce website, social media and sales channels, or in-person with POS (point of sale). Manage your inventory, shipping, payments, marketing and more from one unified dashboard.
Your products can be sold as a physical or digital goods. If you are an artist for example, and want to sell your music, photos or whatever it may be you in a digital form, your clients will be able to download them directly from your website. You may also sell your services.
Even if you don't want to sell online, but have a large number of products that vary in design, such as natural stone, and would like to display them on your website - no problem. An E-Commerce style website will do just that! You can still easily manage products displayed on your website either from an external source, such as excel spreadsheet, or internal database created on CMS.

An E-Commerce website allows you to take payments via the site and can work out cheaper than selling on Etsy or Shopify. You may also use it just as a product display in a shop-like style.

SEO: Search Engine Optimisation
The days of picking up a phone book to look for local businesses and services are gone. Today’s consumer wants to find information online, through social media and in real-time. Improving your websites visibility on search results pages like Google, Bing and Yahoo are important and that's why all my websites are SEO and accessibility friendly.
Although, getting to the first page of Google seems like a holy grail, it isn't cheap and it doesn't work for everyone, so don't be seduced by the salespeople promises. A fewer quality leads are much better than massive traffic that doesn't convert.
For a new business the most important thing is to be found online by the right audience and come on top of the relevant searches - that's what makes a successful website. Getting there is a gradual process (Google has recently reduced their web crawling frequency), and there are lots of other factors to consider.
Who's this for?
Anyone who owns a website. SEO is a vital part of building a website. Anything from your content, site's loading speed to the right keywords plays an important role.
All my websites are SEO and accessibility friendly to begin with, but if you would like to go further, I offer an SEO service as part my Maintenance Package to all owners of the WIX websites - being a WIX specialist.

Consumers believe a business with a website is more credible when it has a branded domain. 65% regard a company-branded email as more credible than a business using a generic email account. Worth mentioning you cannot have a branded email without owing a domain. Choosing the right domain is vital. I can help you to choose the right one for your business and connect it to your WIX website.
There are many providers offering a FREE domain (including WIX), but it is usually just for a year, and you have to pay a subscription afterwards, so it is a good idea to do your research, as prices differ depending on name itself and the extension (.com being more expensive, as it is more in demand).
Once your domain is sorted, you may than purchase a branded email or emails. With this out of the way, I can help you to set up or integrated into your existing Outlook, Google or other account.
Website branding
Are you stuck trying to build the visual side of your brand?
Every story of a successful branding starts with company's logo. Logos are visually communicating your brand’s personality, values and core messages at just a glance. This first impression has the ability to mould how the viewer thinks about your brand from that point forward. Logos also serve as the cornerstone around the rest of your visual branding - such as your website and business card. In the design world, there’s no hard and fast rule about what makes a “good” logo, but ISTOS DESIGN can help you to get it right.
ISTOS DESIGN creates impactful designs reflecting your brand’s personality, values and core messages at just a glance. I can design your logo, business cards and any marketing material you may need.

As the owner of a small business website, you have a lot to do.
Managing your website adds to the work you already have to do.
When you hire me to take care of your website’s maintenance, you can be sure that everything is running smoothly. This lets you do what you do best, which is running your business.
As an ongoing commitment to all my customers, I am periodically monitoring each of live websites created by ISTOS DESIGN. This allows me to identify any issues and inform my clients, so the prompt action can be taken.
Although technical problems are very rare, I can constantly see (where client chose to maintain their website themselves) neglected websites where content is not up to date, the font or format has been changed in places by the client - all of which often leads to compromised website quality.
Building a long-time relationship with a Web Designer pays dividends, as we can quickly jump in and sort out any issues, offer training, guidance and support. ISTOS DESIGN offers maintenance options to suit your needs and budget, so your website looks great, stays healthy and performs well of the search engines.
