Magento is a content management system used for some of the biggest online merchants, which gives flexibility and control over design, content and functionality of e-commerce websites. Autus also use the incredibly popular WooCommerce facility in conjunction with WordPress when creating Responsive Design e-commerce websites.

Website Promotional Videos & Website Interactivity for Effective Customer Engagement
One of the strategies we use which comes high on the list of effective business promotion, includes the placing of website promotional videos, which give your business and website an added dynamic. The three main functions of this practice are, to bring an extra dimension to your products and services, boost the SEO quality of your website when published by Autus on YouTube and increase the time spent by visitors on your website. Google now takes into consideration the duration of website visits.
Website interactivity allows customers to become actively involved in your website whilst browsing, and will also help your website to gain valuable credit from Google. One example of this is demonstrated by a hair salon client of Autus, whose website has a question and answer function. Customers can type a question into the website about hair care, styles or any other related subject, and a qualified hair specialist will answer. This involves the customer returning to the site to check whether or not their query has been answered, which represents a process of Engagement. Another company which specialises in double glazing has a door selector section for its GRP Composite exterior doors. This easy and fun to use facility puts the customer in charge of designing their own bespoke door colours and styles.
