We are your unfair advantage, here's another reason why:

We offer free integration with Google Sheets for all of your data.

With Google Sheets, you can create, edit, and collaborate wherever you are. For free.

Google Sheets is an online spreadsheet app that lets users create and format spreadsheets and simultaneously work with other people. Google Sheets allows businesses to integrate their data with 3rd party apps to expedite and in some cases automate every-day business processes, such as operations, reporting, shipping, updating Clients & exployees, etc.

Feeding Data Into Google Sheets 📝

Let's begin with a few ways that you can feed your data to Google Sheets. Once it's in Sheets, you can create charts, dashboards, or conduct the analysis to get the answers you need. Later, we'll talk about how Sheets can be an intermediate step in a workflow, and how it can go from there, out to other services or platforms.

• Feed your WebsiteForge product data To and From Google Sheets
• Feed your WebsiteForge order data To and From Google Sheets
• Feed your WebsiteForge Members To and From Google Sheets

These can be utilized in many different ways.  More to come on this below.
Also, soon, more areas of your WebsiteForge members area will be integrated with Google Sheets.

Google Forms 🎫

These days with the Google Docs Platform, it couldn't be easier to create a form and log the responses into a spreadsheet. It is now a built-in option to route your Form responses directly into Sheets. Forms can be a much more natural feeling method for users when you're looking to have them input data; consider this approach if it makes more sense than opening up your spreadsheet for collaboration.

Zapier ⚡

Introducing Zapier into your workflow can open up many powerful options to meet your needs. With Multi-Step Zaps you can do things like have an email with an attachment trigger a zap that will upload the attachment to dropbox, then have it notify you about the attached file in a communication app like Slack.

That is just 1 example of a multi step zap.  You can see all kinds of integrations with Google Sheets and Zapier here. 

Here's a good example of how to use the already great tools in WebsiteForge and maximize your social presence.

If you aren't already familiar with how our social media integration works I will summarize it by saying it's like having a dashboard from your website to broadcast to your social media.  With zaps you can take it a step further by expanding which social platforms you broadcast to.

Now that you see some ways that Zapier works, you can start to play around with the options at your fingertips.  Being able to push your WebsiteForge module data automatically to a google sheet and then triggering events from Zapier can help you automate tasks like never before!

We are your unfair advantage, here's another reason why: 

It's hard to think of a group of buyers that are more likely buyers than your existing customer base that has had an abandoned cart... 

Imagine walking through a store and picking up an item, reading the items details, maybe even putting it in your cart or trying it on.  For whatever reason you take it out and put it back on the shelf.  Now, what if an employee, approached you with a 10% off coupon - not available to other buyers - but simply because you were carefully considering buying it but had not yet done so...  I think it's safe to say, for a good number of people, that might be enough to get you to buy.

Now imagine your website management software gives you a FREE tool to reach those buyers...

You can stop imagining now because WE DO!  WebsiteForge offers you a free customizable Abandoned cart notice.  For WebsiteForge clients, you can contact support or take a look at this step by step guide on how to enable and configure your notice.

Increase your conversion rate by motivating customers to recover their abandoned carts. Send automated cart reminders, easily customize email template and offer coupons to encourage your visitors to come back to your store.

•     Use customizable sending schedule
•     Add info about the shopper's cart they abandoned
•     Track sending history
•     Add a coupon code to incentivize your buyers

Ever wonder what you're missing out on?

WebsiteForge adds new features on a regular basis. 

Some features are applied automatically system wide.  

Some features require you to add them to take advantage of them...

We want to help you identify the best ways to take advantage of the features that we offer.

Email our Recommendations team and we will take a look at your site and make some recommendations just for your website!

If you have Remote Hands, most features we recommend can be implemented by the Remote hands team.  They just need to be notified that you wish to implement the feature.

Also be sure to sign up for new notifications from the manual site for regular updates on new features.

THIS IS FREE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT TODAY! :)

Take a look at the new features that benefit BOTH E-commerce and Informational web sites,  recently added by WebsiteForge.  Free to all of our clients:

• Pager Arrows on Image Galleries (Scroll through popped up images)
  
• Add extra security to your checkout page! Captcha now available on your credit card pages.  Stop bots from running credit cards on your site!
  
• Mouse Over Tool Tips (want to add extra info about something on your site?  Now you can)
• Feedback Forms updated to have parent items
  

Making updates to your website on a regular basis is important to keep customers "looking".  It's amazing to me that the majority of websites on the web sit idle, for weeks, months, even years...  Your website has all the potential of a brick and mortar store (even more)!  I couldn't imagine someone just leaving their store alone, never changing the items people see when they walk in, changing specials, new displays, etc.

If you are stuck on what you want to do with your site, feel free to contact us and we can make some recommendations SPECIFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE!

 Pager Arrows:

No steps are needed to use these arrows, they are automatic.

Hello WebsiteForge users,

We've integrated a new feature called: "Sitelinks Search Box"

With Google sitelinks search box, people can reach your content more quickly from search results. Search users sometimes use navigational queries—typing in the brand name or URL of a known site—only to do a more detailed query once on that site. For example, suppose someone wants to find that video about the guilty dog on YouTube. They type YouTube, or you-tube, or youtube.com into Google Search, follow the link to YouTube, and then actually search for the dog video.

The sitelinks search box removes that extra step: a query for youtube displays a site-specific search box in the sitelinks section, so the user can immediately search for that guilty dog video without having to click through to the site.

You can enable this feature in your "Full Text Search Settings" area.

Feel free to contact support if you need assistance setting this up.
