Who we are and what do we do?
Our studio specializes in tune-up and customization of existing Yahoo Stores, as well as building complete Yahoo-based e-commerce solutions.
Although Yahoo Store System is excellent in many ways and offers many great pre-made solutions, we believe there is always a room for customization, because every store requires different features to optimize its business. Our team of designers and developers can professionally implement any graphics, scripts or applications using Yahoo's original RTML language.
We are flexible in our approach to working with your store. We can work with your existing store, if all you need is to add extras.
We can also add extras to a built-in Yahoo design templates.
And in case you'd like to skip the templates and create something completely custom, our designers will create outstanding graphic layouts for your Y-Store. Our developers will then thoroughly work on every detail, taking into consideration your design preferences and specifics of your store. To peruse and determine which extra features your Yahoo store needs, please visit the store add-ons page with explanations and examples provided.
You can take a look at our latest works right below and please visit the portfolio page.

THE NEWLY DEVELOPED MODULES & ADD-ONS:
• CUSTOMER ACCOUNT SYSTEM (USER ACCOUNT)
This system has several parts built at the Yahoo store editor/Yahoo web hosting:
a) The user account with control panel
b) The storeowner admin panel with advanced functionalities
User Account with Control Panel:
- Allows viewing and editing of personal information and keep it in order placement.
- Has a "Wish List" to save shopping cart content. With this function, user can edit saved items and retrieve those later to buy.
- Makes it possible to keep and track the purchase order history with detailed order information
- Allows having a "Member Price" discount applied toward item price "on-fly", during the page browsing
Store Owner part and Administration Panel:
- Uses to receive registration requests or to create user accounts manually, approve them, and submit them to different account types.
- Allows to have as many discount levels as necessary.
- Makes it possible to review the whole history of store orders sorted and selected by different criteria.
- With a "wholesale" sub-module allows to have a "hidden" directory populated by products visible only after user login.
Examples: www.singer22.com ; www.duricosmetics.com
• REMOTE CUSTOMER SERVICE MODULE WITH LIMITED ORDER ACCESS.
This module is great for those who use remote customer support, meaning your customer support employees do not sit in your office and could be located in another city or even in another country. Your Yahoo store orders contain a lot of sensitive or secure information, which you might not want these employees have access to, such as credit card numbers, security codes, etc. Now you can have complete control over what your Customer Support agent will be able to see and have access to. You may choose any criteria of the order to be hidden for the purpose of providing better security for your customers. Also now, orders can be either in read-only format or with "write" permission to make changes in order's "Merchant Notes" text area, or to place the tracking number, etc.
THE REMOTE CUSTOMER SUPPORT module will protect you from any unwanted situations, when an unreliable employee could misuse private information.
• AUTO-RESPONDER or AUTO-EMAILER
This email-marketing module (integrated into the Yahoo store system) allows you to send unlimited emails with no additional cost. You could create multiple email campaigns based on store order history or on a custom e-mails database.
The mailer is designed to be used in two ways. The first way is to use it as a once-only email message sent to Yahoo! Store customers, primarily used to request product reviews. As such, it can be customized and targeted, using a customer's name along with his/her email and a specific product reference in the body of the message. A default template is provided for that purpose, and any number of additional templates can be added.
The second use for the emailer is to send email messages to customers, once or multiple times, as needed. The difference is that in the first method, once a customer has been contacted via email, their address will not be used again.
The module first installed at May 2009 now successfully works at www.petstruly.com, www.dogcatetc.com and other Yahoo stores.
• The FORUM integration with store's product pages.
The Yahoo-based forum could be integrated with your store's product pages, so the "Customer Comments" will automatically create new forum topics or will be added to existing topics.
Each of the forum topics also displays corresponding item name and image with a reciprocal link to the store page, which helps to improve the store's SE indexing.
The development includes changing of the Forum design elements and style enhancement to be consistent with your store pages.
See examples:
Bigfitness.com store page and a corresponded Bigfitness.com Forum topic
Petstruly.com store page and a corresponded Petstruly.com Forum topic
• "AUTO SUBMITTER" or "PROPERTY VALUE AUTO-UPLOADER"
If you have installed our 5-star Customer Rating module or have customized Yahoo-based Forum, then in order to create unique page content you have to input received comments or topics into the corresponding store pages' code. Then it becomes readable by Search Engine crawlers and therefore creates unique page content.
Normally you did this manually by coping/pasting value into the page properties. Now our new module will accomplish this task automatically. It pastes review texts directly into the page property from outside sources.
See examples of how this "Property Value Submit" works with the Forum-based Product Review integrated at the www.petstruly.com and www.bigfitness.com from above links.
• SEARCHABLE ITEM IMAGES
To receive free traffic from internet image searches, the store product images should be indexed (be accessible) by Search Engines. The image address generated by Yahoo (i.e. http://yhst-xxx.yahoo.net/I/yhst-5898888926828_2068_974235236 ) should be changed to have a hosting (static) address with an appropriate source, i.e. http://storename.com/images/mf-p1181obz.jpg.
Our module automatically collects product page images and upload them to store's web hosting. Then, at your published store, these hosting-based images will be displayed instead of the Yahoo-generated.
Example: www.affordablelamps.com
• "FREE GIFT" SELECTION DURING CHECKOUT
The storeowner is able to create different packages of gift items based on order value levels, i.e. $100, $250, etc. The system will analyze the shopping cart's content and then will display the corresponding list of gift items available for selection. The selected gift will added to the shopping cart.
The system dynamically checks the shopping cart content to prevent scams, such as duplicating gifts, ordering gifts without a main product, etc.
Example: Hello Gorgeous.net - proceed to shopping cart with item added.
• "GET INSTANT EMAIL QUOTE"
The previous feature "HIDE THE ITEM PRICE UNTIL CHECKOUT" was successfully extended with a new add-on. This new feature allows customer to request and receive an e-mailed product price quote. Then item could be added to the shopping cart directly from the received email. The e-mail could be sent/received in both HTML and plain text format.
Example: powersellerusa.com
