Featured Lightspeed Store
Published: Jan 23, 2010Kellygreen Home sells functional goods for the home, family, and even pets. They take great pride in selling products that are eco-friendly and have a low impact on the environment.
The store implemented Lightspeed POS and wanted to create a Lightspeed web store to market their brand and sell online. The goal was to create a Lightspeed web store that did not look like Lightspeed.
The owner had worked with a previous developer who could not create the design she wanted or develop the Lightspeed web store. With only 4 weeks before the holidays, Kelly turned to Argoworks to create a new design and complete the job.
Argoworks successfully implemented the web store on time and created a design that fit perfectly with the look and feel of the store. Argoworks also connected the store to their Constant Contact account and implemented a media manager that allows the client to easily upload new photos to the homepage.

ShopperPress for WordPress
Published: Jan 15, 2010A client was looking to maximize his search engine optimization for a few key products sold in his shop and online store. Knowing the power of WordPress, we recommended that he build several dedicated online shops with each one specifically focusing on one manufacturer.
These shops did not require the robust features that you would find in a Virtuemart or Drupal store and were focused on maximizing organic search engine optimization. We evaluated several solutions for WordPress and chose ShopperPress as our e-commerce framework.
ShopperPress includes several themes that can be customized and modified to suit your requirements. We modified the solution to include additional features such as advanced control over the promotional items and the ability to display related or recommended items for each product. We also integrated several custom SEO strategies into WordPress and ShopperPress.
In regards to search engine optimization, we assumed that it would take at least a couple months for the site to appear on the first pages of Google. The client’s chosen keywords were competitive and there were many companies competing for the top position. To our surprise, it took 1-2 weeks for the site to appear in the 1st or 2nd position on the first page of Google for the client’s chosen keywords. We were also impressed that the site is now appearing on the 1st page of Google for many secondary keywords.
The client is saving each month by not having to pay for Google Adwords any longer. The client has reported a huge increase in traffic and sales due to the ShopperPress sites.
