Brochure websites vs. E-commerce websites
Squarespace & Wordpress vs. Bridge & Shopify
Carol Schroeder, a store owner who pens a nice blog about retail, reviews website design services in her post this week. Carol mostly covers 'brochure style' website design tools.

Are more retailers following Bridge's business model? This week's Wall St. Journal reports that more retailers are experimenting with not keeping stock in their stores. What if a customer places an order? The store mails it from the warehouse. Bridge has been at the forefront of this trend: starting in 2007, we output 1,000s of items on our retail members' websites and invited people to shop for products that were not in the store's immediate physical stock.

In Europe, in the 15th century, nearly all house wares and other household items made from pottery were made out of orange clay called Pygg Clay. This included the containers made to hold small items such as the coins that workers earned each day. The coins would remain in those “pygg jars” until they were needed, so that they wouldn’t be lost.
Interestingly, the name of the barnyard animal did not become “pygg” (or today’s “pig”) ...

The writer picked Squarespace as her favorite. If I could, I'd like to ask the writer Ms. Stern to do the same test amongst online bridal registry store providers.
In under 30 minutes, a retailer can open ...

One wedding trend I’m seeing more and more: A couple’s furry friend taking part in the ceremony.
I happen to love when pets are involved in the processional of a wedding, and I've actually done several weddings that included dogs. One of these featured a pair of pugs dressed in a bridal gown and tuxedo, respectively. Adorable! Other weddings had the pups serve as ring bearers, strutting down the aisle with satchels in their mouths containing the wedding ...

Facebook recently allowed people to request information from businesses. For example, one can request that a business add its website or price ranges for items (area highlighted in yellow in screen shot).
Bridge has been using this approach since 2008. Starting 7 years ago, retailers have been able to ask brands to add items to the Bridge network. Bridge and Facebook are both using a crowd-sourcing approach to request and thereby enhance information.
When businesses team up and share information, ...
