Fearlessly Flying South…
FastPivot take on IR Web Design 2008!

You gotta love the folks at IR. The folks who get 5,000 online retail merchants…and lots of people who love them…into the same room every June have now convinced 500 of them…and some of people who love them…to come to Miami in January.

IR now brings us Internet Retailer Web Design—a new online retail event that focuses exclusively on the importance of online design and merchandising innovation.

It's 72 hours about how look, feel, fonts, copy, navigation, site search, SEO, interactive merchandising, wishlists, registries, lookbooks, product reviews, blogs, cross-selling, carts, and everything else you can put into your online store combine into a design strategy that spells selling success. (Yes, site search and SEO are, in fact, design issues. No, we’re not kidding.)

We’re so sold on the idea…we’re not just going, we’re going big. Taking another step forward during our 10th anniversary year, FastPivot will exhibit at IR Web Design, also take part in the free 30-minute web consultation program running throughout the show. It’s been a crazy month getting ready while keeping up on workload, but we support the principles of this show so strongly, we knew we had to make it work.

If you plan to be there…let us know! If not, we’ve got three ways we plan to share the experience (sun and sand not included!)

Wish us luck! And see you January 30-February 1 at Booth 34…or at a screen near you February 21!

Yahoo! Stores
Form Submission Update


We're Here if You Need Us

On 1/25/2008, Yahoo! issued an announcement updating merchants about a recently implemented security upgrade that could affect form submission. This change affects the submission of forms, including those from newsletter signups, contact pages, and quote request pages.

Both Yahoo! and FastPivot strongly recommend all store owners check the following forms to ascertain if the changes to the ProForma form submission script apply to their stores.

FastPivot has determined that while this script change may require some modifications to a store’s forms, it is not a major or time-consuming project and relatively simple if you are familiar with HTML or RTML. See here for DIY instructions.

If you are not comfortable making the change yourself, FastPivot is available to review your site quickly and make the appropriate modifications to any affected forms.

Please see below for more information about our support for form submission modification. Your uninterrupted contact with customers is important to us and we want to ensure no store is left behind. Please check your forms (or contact us for help.)

About the ProForma form submission change:

  • If you are a retainer client:
    Your site will receive a complimentary update.
  • If you are a past client with a site less than 90 days old:
    Your site will receive a complimentary update.
  • If you are a past client with a site more than 90 days old:
    We will check your forms and make the appropriate changes for $40.
  • If you are completely new to FastPivot:
    We will check your forms and make the appropriate changes for $50.

Please contact us if you have any additional questions or comments.!
