Forix Web Design is an Oregon-based company that develops e-commerce websites for local retailers and merchants. This firm has the IT right tools that can provide leverage on the competitive retail marketplace. In order to make a smooth transition from brick-and-mortar operations to e-commerce, powerful open source technology has to be used. Forix Web Design deploys content management systems to develop, launch and promote custom online shops. For example, Magento Hosting has an array of features that support e-commerce functions such as product catalogs and product suggestions. The drop-down menus and side bars on an online store can be customized with simple templates. Forix Web Design could create side menus that allow shoppers to narrow down their search for products based on price, brands and other specific features. CMS platforms for e-commerce also come with versatile shopping carts that accept multiple forms of electronic payments including Paypal and Google Wallet.
