Multilingual Online Shops Easier With ShopSite!

Dec

ShopSite is a service designed to quickly and easily set up an online store on your website and start selling. Given the year we have had, it is more important than ever to adapt to a digital business platform if you are able to.

Just recently ShopSite released version 14.0 sp2. This release came chock full of payment and merchandising upgrades for PayPal, among others. Something very significant with this new version is the update they have made to enhance the system for international use.

As many of you know, we pride ourselves on the software development we do not only for English websites/applications but for a number of Japanese customers both domestic and abroad. The updates they have made across the board to all versions of ShopSite (Pro, Manager, Starter) make it easier to deliver a fully functional eCommerce website regardless of the language.

Let's take a look at these international updates as outlined in their recent release notes.

State/Provinces fallback to text input (Pro, Manager, Starter)
If a shopper chooses a country that does not have a pull-down list of states/provinces to choose from, ShopSite will display a blank text input box.

UTF-8 Character encoding (Pro, Manager, Starter)
New installs now default to the UTF-8 character encoding which is the default of HTML 5. This encoding fully supports all characters. Previously ShopSite used ISO-8859-1 which only supported Latin-1 languages.

Whether you need a multilingual online shop or just an English language version, we can work with you to handle all of the technical aspects and help you start selling ASAP. As a National Hosting Partner for ShopSite, we have industry professionals on staff that can do the heavy lifting with you.

For a one-time fee of $1,962 (only a low annual hosting fee applies after year one), you can have an eCommerce website online. We want to talk to you!

PSPinc What’s New Newsletter Vol.42 "Why Bloguru is Free"

Dec

Vol.42

We launched our ad-free blog site, bloguru.com, on September 1st, 2004 and have been running it ever since. Bloguru is not run by advertisements like other blog websites, so you won’t see any ads within the system. This means that we do not receive any income from running Bloguru. So why do we run Bloguru?

We are in the business of hosting websites. We have 45,000 domains in our data center, mostly in Japan and the US - this is our source of income. In addition to hosting, we also design and develop websites.

Needless to say, it is important for a website to be seen by many people. As a way to attract more people to your website, you need to be listed on search engines like Google. It’s not easy to be ranked at the top of search engines with just your website alone.

So how do you promote your website? We developed Bloguru as a way to attract people to your company or an individual and then lead them to your website. The absence of advertisements makes it easier for search engines to find and list you.

There are many people who think that Bloguru is not effective. There are many people who believe that having everything on their own website is better for search sites. However, the content written on Bloguru is often ranked higher by search engines. Please give it a try.

Bloguru is also available for free to those of you who are not hosted by us. To sign up, please visit https://bloguru.com.

ImaMenu contact-less digital restaurant menu released for free to help restaurants during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Dec

We have released an all-new service designed specifically to assist restaurants during the Covid-19 pandemic.

ImaMenu is a contact-less digital restaurant menu application. The web-based tool was developed in an effort to help restaurants combat Covid-19 by moving away from paper-based menu systems and avoid direct physical contact with customers where possible.

With ImaMenu, restaurant owners have the power to create a digital menu complete with pictures, descriptions, prices, and allergen information. They can then embed an automatically generated QR code into posters and flyers. This allows customers to access a menu directly from their smartphones.

ImaMenu works on any modern device and supports multiple languages for bilingual businesses. Restaurant owners can group and organize their dishes into various categories and add an unlimited number of menu items.

Due to the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic, Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. has made ImaMenu completely free-to-use in an effort to support restaurants who are struggling during these difficult and uncertain times. Restaurant owners can sign up directly at ImaMenu.com.

If you are a restaurant owner or manager and want to give ImaMenu a try - it is totally free! What are you waiting for?

2021 Pantone Colors of the Year

Dec

At the end of every year, the Pantone Color Institute picks the "Color of the Year". The process isn't arbitrary and they take into consideration a trend analysis. It is a result of experts reviewing world influences within many genres such as art, fashion, entertainment, and travel to name a few. They also take into consideration the 'emotional history' of the color.

It's not surprising that because of the year we have had in 2020, the selection process for 2021 was anything but normal. Instead of choosing 1 Pantone color of the year, the Institute chose 2! The official colors of the year are Pantone 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and Pantone 13-0647 Illuminating (yellow).

To the average person, it may represent perhaps a gray start to the year with the "illuminating" hope of what could come.

In reality, gray represents wisdom and dependability. Illuminating is symbolic of energy and light (no surprise). The pair represents how we need optimism and positivity, but to get there we need strength and wisdom.

What do you think of the official 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year?

At PSPinc we focus on design when we develop websites every day. So we are always looking at future trends and technologies.

If you have a website that is in need of a design refresh, let us know.

We have professional designers on staff that are here to help you start 2021 off right. You could say we have the wisdom and dependability of Ultimate Gray to build your next Illuminating website!
