Check out a video to see how easy this is.

We also improved the way you add and edit pages and products and added many improvements under the hood.

There are more functions to come, but we did not want to hold back the new block editor. It is just such a huge improvement, when it comes to working on website content.

Worried this might affect your existing shop? Don’t be.

ShopFactory 12 installs itself as a separate program and makes a copy of your existing store. So you can install and try it out without any risk.

Here are some of the many features and improvements we have added to ShopFactory 11.

New Designs
With unlimited design flexibility you can now achieve literally anything you want. Regardless of the design you plan – with ShopFactory 11 it is in your reach.

The result: beautiful new and competitive SFX themes for websites and stores which make you look better than ever to help you increase your sales.

Another benefit of our new SFX themes: Now you can assign any page template to any content page or category to give you even more flexibility. Want to create a new landing page for a marketing campaign using your home page layout? With ShopFactory 11 it’s easy.

New Product lay-outs
ShopFactory 11 contains a large number of new product lay-outs which will allow you to show your products in a great way.

It is now also possible to add Social Media Share buttons to every product or switch between the new SFX product styles to display your products in the best light.

New Navigation Styles
To top off the great new design and advanced flexibility we have also added amazing navigation styles.

With integrated “Aim” technology navigation menus not only look great. They can now also sense what a user wants to do next to prevent navigation menus from closing while the user is trying to access them.

The result is an easier and smoother navigation which helps customers reach the pages they want to access faster.

Facebook shop and Social Networks
Use the Social Networks Share button to activate social links or click on the Facebook button to quickly add your complete store to Facebook: SFX templates have been designed to work just as well on your Facebook site as on your own website.

Touch sensitive banners
Modern touch sensitive banners allow users to flick banner images with their fingertips and allow you to redirect customers to other pages and products.

On every page of your website you now have three banner areas that you can use to create a magnificent looking page layout.

Extra content areas
On every page you can now add up to 4 extra content areas, this will give you more flexibility to add texts to your pages.

Extra navigation menus
New navigation menus in addition to Index 1 and 2 offer even more functionality. They can be used to create large footer navigation styles or to place special navigations on specific pages only.

Depending on the website design you select, there can be up to 10 extra navigation area’s in your website.

These extra navigation areas give a lot of flexibility to add extra menus to your site but can also be used by savvy designers to insert addition content or banners.

Navigation name vs page name
You can now set a different name for you page only for the navigation. This will allow you to use a longer name on top of a page and a short name in the navigation.

This feature makes your navigation menus easier to understand and will increase the number of pages your customers will  visit on your website.

Improved Responsive behavior
Of course we have also improved the mobile behavior of ShopFactory websites. So regardless of the device your customers use – you will always be able to put your best foot forward.

Brand new design editing tool
ShopFactory 11 also makes it easier than ever to customize the themes we are supplying. Simply change banner images and design colors to achieve a striking new look in minutes.

The completely redesigned Designer tool makes adjusting the look of any website theme easier than ever and provides an easy preview of tablet and mobile phone modes.

New image cropping tool
The reworked image cropping function helps make working with images easier than ever.

New ShopFactory Interface
Of course we have also redesigned the main ShopFactory user interface to make it more useful than ever. Now ShopFactory Central acts as your store management hub, giving you quick access to all the important functions. Click on the My Store for example to adjust the settings of your store or on My Orders to review your orders.

Backoffice improvements
We have worked hard to make it easier to manage orders and customers.

Better customer interaction for better conversion
Of course we have also improved the interaction of your store with your customers. Faster loading stores and delayed image loading mean your website responds faster than ever to your customers.
