BettyJaneCandies,com - Selling chocolate online has its challenges, but Betty Jane Homemade is successfully doing so with their newly responsive site design, prominent checkout buttons, and innovative functionality. Scroll through the professional grade and quite delectable imagery, or narrow your search using "PowerSearch" and shop based on price range, chocolate type, etc. Moving away from their clunky, custom weight function, this user-friendly site now provides the shopper a customizable shopping experience with its "Create Your Own Assortment" functionality.
EssentialDepot.com With many products to showcase, EssentialDepot.com went through a complete redesign, creating a stimulating shopping experience. This online store is fully loaded with professional grade product imagery, informative product descriptions, and user-friendly functionality. Simplifying the product categories enabled the shopper to better navigate through to checkout. And just in case the information-packed product pages weren't enough, EssentialDepot.com offers a "Live Chat" to answer customer inquiries with just a click of the mouse.
