Get it right first time with Verio’s combination of hosting, design and functionality for every need: online presence, store or booking/reservations calendar.

London, February 3rd  2009 – Today, Verio, the Web Hosting Division of Verio Europe GmbH, announced the launch of a complete new range of products for corporate websites including, depending on the product, an online presence (“Page-it“), an online store (“eStore“) or a booking/reservation calendar (“ePlanner”). Prospective customers can test all products for a period of 30 days for free. New customers enjoy a money-back-guarantee up to 30 days following purchase of Page-it, ePlanner or eStore. The technological foundation of this new offer is ePages 6, the ecommerce technology of software provider ePages.

For beginners and those with advanced skills

The customer is able to develop his own online presence or the desired functionality quickly and smoothly without HTML or programming skills and independently from any company or agency. In doing so, the customer does not need to install any software as everything runs in a browser. Updates are made automatically; product upgrades from Page-it to ePlanner or eStore are available flexibly. 

In spite of numerous templates and configuration wizards there is still plenty of room for flexibility for those with advanced skills due to freely placeable items and adjustment options. The individual recognition of their own store is guaranteed for both user groups. Web 2.0 elements such as blogs, forums or guestbooks can be created by the person operating the website.

 

Page-it – The way to a professional online presence without programming skills

Page-it allows you to create your own distinctive web page with just a few clicks without having to attend a programming course or employing an agency. A set-up wizard guides the user step-by-step through the most important settings. Each of the numerous design-templates are easily adaptable so that masking website items, changing background colour or adding background images is simple and straightforward. In addition to the navigation elements in the template, many more can be inserted at various places. The user can choose from more than 50 design templates, which are structured in categories and branches. Image templates can also be integrated into the page. Features like blogs, guestbooks, forums or RSS Feeds are also available as of Page-it 25. Page-it will be particularly suited to freelancers and small to medium sized businesses which are aiming to establish or improve their online presence.

Page-it is available now. Pricing and sizing details are listed below:

• Page-it 10 for 10 pages at 3.19 GBP per month

• Page-it 25 for 25 pages at 5.99 GBP per month

• Page-it 250 for 250 pages at 15.99 GBP per month

 

ePlanner – and the customers book by themselves in future

Whether you are promoting a holiday apartment, an appointment with a hairdresser, a restaurant table or a caravan/trailer rental service – planning is essential for anyone offering reservations, bookings or items for rent. Why not manage this planner online and thus enable your customers to select the appointment for themselves and make the booking right away?

ePlanner enables every prospective customer to easily and smoothly access information about availability and provides an instant booking facility without any need for a telephone call. Details such as opening hours, selectable duration, automatic bookings or manual confirmation are predefined by the person or business operating the page. Page-it is integrated with ePlanner, to ensure smooth operation of the organization’s online presence. ePlanner has Web 2.0 functionality: blogs, forums, and guestbooks can be set up in both account sizes. ePlanner is particularly suited for use by smaller hotels, guesthouses, holiday apartment administrators or restaurants.

Also service providers such as hairdressers, nail bars, physiotherapists or medical practices offering fixed appointments profit from the online management and planning of their appointments, as well as rental companies hiring out a range of products. Depending on the size of account, different varieties of objects can be managed. In doing so the objects can be divided into, for example, 30 rentable holiday apartments with 60 bicycles for hire or 50 rooms, 30 restaurant tables and 5 wellness therapists. ePlanner can also be used by organizations for their internal booking systems. For example the staff of several branches/stores/practices can check if an appointment at the requested time is available at another location or branch.

ePlanner is available now. Pricing and sizing details are listed below:

• ePlanner 25 for 25 objects at 11.98 GBP per month

• ePlanner 150 for 150 objects at 19.99 GBP per month

 

eStore – store and more...no programming skills needed

eStore not only provides simple design options for your own online store but the products can also be displayed on all well-established portals like eBay, ciao! or Pangora without any problems. The person operating the store can offer his customers a variety of payment methods, including transnational ones, such as PayPal, ClickandBuy, WorldPay, etc., in which different terms of delivery and payment can be offered depending upon the region. eStore also has the capability to display different currencies and languages in support of international sales and distribution. On the front-end, i.e. for the visitor of the website, as well as on the back-end, for the operating company/administrator of the site, bigger eStores have the option to switch between English and French. The products can be set up with features such as colour and size, e.g. with options to choose between green/red/blue or S, M, L. Due to a handy import and export function modifications of all products can be made at once.

In addition to this, eStore has the option to promote items such as special offers in a separate category. Cross-selling and Tell-a-friend are also options with which sales can be further increased: if a certain product/service is displayed, another offer is pointed out; the customer can inform friends or acquaintances of the offer. Marketing features include manual to automatic cross-selling, the option of having the product rated by the customer or a newsletter-tool. The generation of various vouchers for example with a fixed amount or as a percentage, with a limited validity period or a specific code poses no problem either. Furthermore, the person or business operating the eStore can implement blogs, forums or guestbooks. eStore supports pre-certification by Trusted Shops. eStore will enable organizations to smoothly set up and manage a professional store-system which includes a variety of delivery and payment options and integrates the handling of billing, credit vouchers and delivery notes in the back office.

eStore is available now. Pricing and sizing details are listed below:

• eStore 200 for 200 products at 12.99 GBP per month

• eStore 1000 for 1,000 products at 23.99 GBP per month
