Review Summary
|
|
Curz Web Designs ecommerce web site builder is not the cheapest
product I have reviewed but it does have some of the best looking
templates. If you are looking to build a web site that looks
like you have paid expensive graphics designers then try Curz.
As well as some great flash page headers you can also add a complete
flash entry page that can be easily customised from a choice of 50
designs. One
problem I found with the Curz site builder is that you can not change
the meta tags for each page. They get set when you choose the
web site design and then are applied to every page. This is not
very good for on page search engine optimisation but most search
engines do not use the keyword meta tag anymore and do not give much
weight to the description tag so this should not be too much of as
problem.
Curz Web Design are a brilliant professional web design company all
to willing to accommodate your requirements so if you need anything
special added to your site or need some of the work done for you just
contact them with your requirements.
I did have a problem with setting up the merchant account and after
looking through the online help could not find the answer but after
sending a quick email to Curz the problem was solved.
The Curz web site builder has every thing you need to start selling
your products online and is backed by a professional web design
company who are always on hand.
