[intro]The Evolution Mode is a service we pride ourselves on here at EKM. Our goal is to ensure that our customer’s online shops are up-to-date concerning functionality and are the best they can be. We do this through our Evolution Mode Team who check to see if the customer journey is effective, the design is modern and the quality of the content is appealing to maximise sales opportunities.[/intro]

On the internet, in terms of both ecommerce shops and websites, design trends and styles change quickly and, amongst customers, shopping trends can change and grow rapidly. An online shop that looked and performed fantastically well a couple of years ago may not be doing so well now, and often, the navigation, content quality and customer experience are the cause.

An Evolution Mode Designer combats this by ensuring that the content and design are up to date, with complex content simplified for a better customer experience. This is a complimentary service unique to EKM and one that has improved the experience for online shops. At EKM, the Evolution Mode Designers constantly research online trends and recommend practices to advise you which should be applied to your own EKM online shop.
