SERVICE OVERVIEW

BROWUSE is an e-commerce software developed on the basis of Magento*. It combinesfeatures of a hosting provider and a website builder. Users obtain functional e-commercewebsites when the registration is completed.

In practice it means that customers get

• website hosting (starting from 10GB for $10/month); • Magento installation;• free website themes and their automatic installation without any conflicts; • unlimited e-mail accounts; • the ability to redirect a created website to a custom domain or select an internal

domain (in this case the domain - browuse.com acts as a 3rd party platform); • the opportunity to create an unlimited amount of stores.

BROWUSE solves two the most significant problems faced by businesses that choose Magento:hosting and theme installation. Not all providers are capable of Magento website hosting andusually prices for hosting are higher if a website is developed in Magento. A process of Magentowebsite theme installation is quite complicated, so very often businesses have to hire developers tosetup, customize and manage their stores.

With BROWUSE all these processes are executed automatically, but at the same time users haveaccess to the source files and they can add the necessary extensions at any point. There are a lot ofMagento packages that help to optimize and improve an online store like statistic reports, contentmanagement, product options, etc. These features become critical for businesses when they growand they have to migrate from their current platform to the one that can provide them with therequired functionality. And in the majority of cases this migration turns out to be time and money-consuming.

BROWUSE offers 2 months trial period for you to see what advantages your business can obtainfrom it. Start your online business today!

*Magento – an open-source e-commerce platform developed on PHP. It is considered to be the mostversatile and scalable solution due to its open source nature.
