Key features of WebSite X5
As we mentioned, WebSite X5 is simple and intuitive, but this does not mean that it has few features or that it is limited. In fact, it has everything to meet even the most professional needs. We already covered the templates and the full range of page content that can be used. Let's then find out a little more about e-commerce and how websites are displayed on mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.
Integrated E-commerce
Selling online is a great opportunity not only for those who already own a physical store, but also for artisans and amateur crafters that want to turn their passion into a second source of income. The web is not just a vast square, but also an immense market where every seller can find a broad and international audience interested in their offerings.
Creating an online shop with WebSite X5 is as simple as building any other website page. Once you’ve added all the images, descriptions and basic information, the software will automatically generate product sheets optimized for sales. Plus, it will just take a click to enable filters and a search engine: in this way, customers will be able to find what they are looking for even if you have a rather rich product catalog.
Of course, you can activate many different shipping and payment options, so to fulfill any customer’s need. Particularly, the integration with PayPal Commerce Platform will make it possible for you to accept payment from all the most popular systems, including credit cards and installment payments.
You can also have promotions and coupon codes, customize the checkout process and manage orders with the useful Online Control Panel. In short, WebSite X5 provides everything you need to create an online shop through which you can earn online and grow your business.
Responsive Design
With the increase in traffic from mobile devices, it's essential that your website is optimized to display correctly on screens of various sizes. In other words, you need to ensure that the browsing experience on tablets and smartphones is just as satisfying as on desktop.
WebSite X5 templates are all responsive, namely optimized for mobile devices. In any case, you can modify both the template and page composition so to have more control over the way contents are displayed and arranged in the different resolutions.
Using the local website preview, you will be able to check out the pages’ behavior on different devices and, when you’re happy with the result, go on and export it.
Ensuring that users can load your pages quickly on smartphones (because they are not too heavy), find only the necessary information (avoiding endless scrolling), read text easily (because the fonts are not too small), tap on links and buttons effortlessly (because they are not tiny and stuck to the text) is the best guarantee to prevent users from immediately abandoning your website and turn to your competitors.
Artificial Intelligence in WebSite X5
The Artificial Intelligence is the big news everyone is talking about. There are AI that can help us with a multitude of tasks, from content creation, to programming, to data analysis. The Artificial Intelligence-based text generation assistant has been integrated into WebSite X5: it's called MagicText, and it's used to help you with the text in your website.
The function of MagicText is not to create the website for you, but to give you new ideas and help you write all the text - which can be a lot. Titles, descriptions, SEO tests, blog posts, product descriptions: MagicText can write all this for you.
The possibilities are endless. Ask MagicText to change tone and style of writing, or to report new versions of the same text, make it shorter or longer, or even write in a different language: you are free to experiment. When you're satisfied, all you have to do is insert the generated text, and of course, you'll always have the opportunity to modify it to make it perfect for your taste and needs.
MagicText is like the genie of the lamp: you ask, and you shall receive... at least when it comes to the texts for your website!
