Amazon Launches WebStore

I’ve been an Amazon fan for quite some time now, it was the first place I’ve ordered something online, and recently, the last place I’ve order something online.

Today I received an email today from Amazon about their new service called “WebStore.” Which is basically a build-it-yourself eCommerce Storefront, I’d imagine that it’s very similar to Yahoo! Merchant Solutions.

I’ve checked out many of the examples, and well, it’s definitely safe to say that I still have a job designing eCommerce websites.

Now, don’t get me wrong! There are definitely a some conversion-friendly features in the Amazon WebStore, and it’s probably not a bad solution for someone on their first generation eCommerce site. The one thing I really like is that customers can use their existing Amazon.com accounts, and everything is posted through Amazon’s servers, that’s one heck of a security assurance.

But when you’re ready to make the next step, and move on to your 2nd or 3rd generation site, be sure to give us a call :)
