Nearly all Everest® Online website owners that are determined to achieve significant and meaningful results through online marketing methodologies, decide to customize the base templates of Everest very early in the implementation process. 

The reasons for this are many:

1. Some Everest® Advanced e-commerce customers do not like the base Everest templates for look and feel.
2. Clients working in Apparel or other industries that require additional sorting and filtering parameters require customization.
3. Customers want to optimize their checkout funnel for improved conversions.
4. Customers want an enhanced Pricing and Discounting display.
5. Customers are looking for customizations that will support Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing initiatives.
6. Customers want additional merchandising options.
   

 No matter your reasoning, you need to consider the business decision from various angles.

• Do I hire a web developer to work "in-house" to do customizations?
• Do I hire an outside firm or agency to make these changes?
• Do I pay Everest Software directly to make some changes for my site?
• Do I utilize a principle in the company who has an IT background and wants to make the changes themselves in their “spare” time?
  

All of these options have pros and cons. We recommend using a top quality outside firm with great Everest® experience, SEM savvy and the best technology, namely e2solutions.

Experience:
Our core team has been working with Everest now for 15 years combined and specifically with the Everest® Software (formerly iCODE) product lines since the Accware for DOS and Everest® alpha 1.0 days (circa 1999). We have watched ecommerce business owners  try to make these initial changes themselves only to experience problems across the board. Our experience with Everest has given us the tools to anticipate many potential problems that we can resolve in a development environment or even avoid all together.  We deliver solutions that work, save down-time, and maximize client investiture.  

Speed / Efficiency:
Because we have already addressed many of the common requests made of Everest® eCommerce we can typically turn around projects more quickly and efficiently. For instance, we specialize in what we call our “SEO readiness mini project” (cartID, javascripting, sitemaps, google sitemaps, froogle, and some low-level page optimization) that can be completed in less than a week. Consider if your in house staff were to do the customizations, how much is that time worth?  What if there are mistakes that cost you sales, or even worse get you banned / blacklisted / penalized from the search engines for guessing at some of the proper SEO procedures.

Marketing Focus:
e2solutions is not a “development only” company.  Our core competencies include a marketing team who is well versed in analyzing Google, Yahoo and MSN trends.  This marketing experience is one of the driving forces behind our customizations and enhancements with the Everest® eCommerce product.  Each piece we customize is part of a greater puzzle to increase Search Engine Optimization, client control of SEO meta tags, content updating to ease the burden of content updates, etc.  Our focus is to create an eCommerce environment that drives the site to the top of the SERPs, keeps customers shopping and makes conversions quick and easy for them.
