New design tool for online stores from Shopstar
Jens Herf, MD of Shopstar, says, "We believe that a successful shop primarily needs good products, good product images and professional order fulfilment. We have had many requests from shop owners and designers for a more advanced tool and developed this module over the last two months to replace prescribed themes effectively. It is very intuitive and easy to use, offers virtually unlimited choices of colours, fonts, creating background images and more.
