What's new in puresilva v2.0?
Our e-commerce / CMS template has always been subject to regular updates since its launch in April 2006, but between May-September 2007 a number of major updates were busy being developed 'offline' that has resulted in a complete new version release of the template - v2.0. Here's a run-down of the new features:-
CSS XHTML Website Design Templates
For the look and feel of your website, puresilva v2 will allow you to choose from a number of CSS XHTML W3C-compliant templates - at the click of a button - you can also very easily design your own banner to go with it. You can quickly preview your site in any of the templates - once you find one you like, click "save" and the design is applied to your site. We'll have a full working-version demo of this on puresilva.com very shortly. We are adding new templates all the time, and eventually we will feature literally hundreds of distinct templates for you to choose from. Try the demo here
Product Reviews
Your website visitors can leave product reviews of your listed items. They may have bought this item before from you, or even from another vendor, and want to let people know how good/bad(!) it is.
Digital Products/Downloads
You can sell digital products (files) now in puresilva v2.0 - for example e-books, or music files (mp3s).
Lighter PagesAll the common navigation areas of each page are cached - meaning even faster loading pages.
Customisable Base Currencypuresilva v2 offers full support at last to businesses outside of the UK - now you can trade in your local currency - your entire website (including the backoffice) will reflect your local currency. Also your website visitors will be able to convert your prices into THEIR local currency at the click of a button (the conversion is made via live currency exchange rates).
Enquiry Form BuilderEasily build enquiry forms to capture data on your website. Want to ask your visitors something specifc? Build a form, and watch the enquiries come in to your chosen email address. You can develop unlimited forms including all the usual HTML elements : radio button, checkbox, text field, textarea and select.
Improved Content Managementpuresilva v2 offers more flexibility in terms of content management, allowing you to completely edit all navigation links and easily add links within page content. Also you can place images and files anywhere on the page now at the click of a button. You can also add pages that do not feature anywhere in the navigation - instead you can link to them wherever you like (for example, link to it within a paragraph).
Sitewide SearchThe search facility will search your entire site - including products, articles/blog, forum, and general pages
Articles SupportThe current news/blog facility has been improved - now you can categorise entries allowing you to turn this facility into an articles archive rather than just news updates. You can choose to add 0-7 article summaries to the front page and/or article title list onto the sidebar navigation.
More Google Adsense Optionspuresilva v2 has two levels of Adsense placement: normal and aggressive. The Normal level will display ads unobtrusively. The Aggressive level will place ads a lot more intrusively if you want a higher click rate.
More Options To Show/Hide AreasYou can show/hide the random products listed, customer feedback and alternate currencies.
Customisable BackofficeEdit the colour / font scheme of the backoffice.

This facility allows your website visitors to interact with your site and enter a price that they'd be willing to pay for a particular product (and quantity of product).
For example, if you sell a t-shirt for £10, a website visitor can make an offer for £9 for the t-shirt. This offer is then sent as an email to the website administrator. They can choose to accept or reject this offer. If an offer is accepted, the person who made the offer receives an email stating that the offer has been accepted, and they can easily pay for the item at the offer price by clicking a link within the email. Each offer (if accepted) expires after 4 days.
The website owner has the chance to make a counter-offer, and can reply back with an amended price if they feel the original offer price is too low (no different to haggling in a market!). This is sent as an automated email - the site owner just needs to alter the price in the backoffice, and click "Send".
This facility is purely optional and is automatically disabled as a default setting. The site administrator can choose to select individual items that can be offered on, or could choose to put all his or her items on offer (one click of a button).
