We’re very excited to announce that we’ve officially joined forces with Bigcommerce. We can now offer you the best e-­commerce experience available. As part of the Bigcommerce Partner Program, we’ll now be building retail sites on the fastest-­growing e-‐commerce platform in the world.

Why did we partner with Bigcommerce? They make it easy for us to build beautiful, effective e-­‐commerce sites that are optimised for SEO. And their built-­‐in tools make it easy for you to manage and market your store once it’s built.

Unlike Joomla's online shopping component, Bigcommerce have an integrated merchant account to handle all payments for the one easy monthly fee.>

Rhye Media also now have more opportunities to showcase our clients’ sites across the Bigcommerce network, providing more exposure for your business.

We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Bigcommerce! We expect a long, happy partnership, and hope that you'll make use of online shopping to expand your business.

• On a side note, our weekly news articles will be on hiatus for the next two weeks as our resident writer Ashlee is away studying. Get in touch on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ in the mean time, and we'll be back on the 12th of July!
