Our mission is to ensure that your new online store is set up to properly accommodate the product inventory you wish to offer for sale and that your products are presented in the most effective manner possible.
During our preliminary collaboration phase, we will work together to accurately establish the number of products in your online store inventory by compiling all of your product attributes and defining the array of products you wish to offer.
Once we have accurately determined the array of products that you wish to place in your online store, we will work together to decide the most effective approach for presenting them and discuss any website development cost implications (i.e. Should the Product count or complexity be excessive).
It is also relatively straightforward to enter your product inventory yourself if you wish (we provide detailed tutorials to guide you).
You can also ask the Shartech Team add or update products to your online store using the hour of support time included with your Shartech Support Plan each month.

[av_toggle title=’Can Shartech assist with conversion and upload of videos to YouTube & Vimeo ?’ tags=’Installation, Misc’]

These video related works can either be incorporated into your initial website development proposal or performed later at low cost.
Note that Shartech will need to vet your video files to ascertain suitability and estimate the time involved..

[av_toggle title=’Why does my website look a look a little different when viewed with Internet Explorer ?’ tags=’Pricing, Misc’]
Shartech endeavors to ensure compatibility of its websites with all browsers and adheres to the latest web design standards.
Subtle visual differences are sometimes evident when websites are viewed using older versions of Internet Explorer (i.e. IE7 or IE8) as these browsers do not support all features of the CSS 3 (Cascading Style Sheet Version 3) programming that forms an integral part of most modern websites.
Shartech recommends that users migrate to a more recent version of Internet Explorer (i.e. IE9 or higher) as Microsoft has discontinued support for older, obsolete Internet Explorer versions (i.e. IE8 or older).
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Which web browsers and web browser versions do Shartech support?’ tags=”]
In general, Shartech will support the currently released version of a web browser and 2 versions back. Shartech does not provide support for IE6 (Internet Explorer 6).

[av_toggle title=’How should I go about upgrading my WordPress plugins ?’ tags=’Pre Sales’]

Please consult Shartech before proceeding with the update of any plug-in to confirm that the new plug-in version has already been tested by Shartech and is compatible with your website.
It is vital that you perform a successful back-up before attempting to update a plug-in and also be sure to that your site has been placed in ‘Maintenance Mode’ beforehand to minimise the impact of this process on website users.

Shartech cannot provide support for your ‘third party’ server (or any associated facilities such as email accounts, server backups etc.) if you decide not to host your website on Shartech servers.

[av_toggle title=’Will Shartech manage the backups for my website ?’ tags=”]
Shartech servers are systematically backed up in a manner that provides optimal user protection in the event of any unexpected data loss or corruption issue.
Shartech websites hosted on ‘Third Party’ servers must endeavor to assure that all website files, databases, server & email data are systematically backed up in a manner that provides optimal user protection in the event of any unexpected data loss or corruption issue.
Self-hosted clients are required to setup and manage their own backups.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Will Shartech backup my current website before it is transferred ?’ tags=”]
If you are considering migrating your current website to another hosting provider, the most diligent strategy is to (successfully) restore a backup of your current website to an off-line server before attempting to decommission your current website or transfer it to new hosting.
This exercise verifies that the backup of your current website can actually be restored in an alternate hosting environment, whilst allowing your current website to continue functioning and serve as a ‘fall-back’ should any serious issue arise.
In order to carry out the above process, your current hosting provider need to provide you with a comprehensive backup of your website (including all website files, databases, email data and system data).
Unfortunately, Shartech cannot guarantee that it will be possible to restore a backup of your current website (obtained from your current hosting provider) or that it will function properly in an alternate hosting environment once restored.
Migration of just the website ‘transactional’ data to a new website is often a more viable proposition (should transfer of the entire website be judged nonviable).
Nevertheless, we can provide some assistance with backup of your current website if you have elected to host your Shartech website on ‘third party’ servers that feature cPanel access if you provide Shartech with cPanel ‘Admin’ log-in details.
Please contact Shartech to receive further details and a price for this service.
