			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Christmas Day alone, an estimated 5 million shoppers made their purchases online<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7799524.stm" target="_blank">†</a>, proving that the more ubiquitous the internet becomes, the more familiar people become with online shopping.</p>
<p>The internet allows customers to shop from the comfort and convenience of their home, where a computer monitor has become better for window shopping than a window itself. Now more than ever, it&#8217;s critical that business owners open up their own online storefront, before they get left behind.<span id="more-276"></span></p>
<p>With the economy in the slumps, online shopping begins to look more and more attractive. Why? Because the internet brings you and your product directly into the shopper&#8217;s home. It allows you to operate your business at reduced costs and, because the internet is a form of interactive marketing, it engages your customer before they even realize they&#8217;re shopping.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>But why the rush? Well, as more stores move their businesses online, they get a head start in establishing themselves within their niche.</p>
<p>Hip Web Design wants to help you get your online store started the right way. Don&#8217;t drop your business &#8212; literally, your entire business &#8212; into the hands of a <a href="tempted-by-templates">cookie-cutter web firm</a>. Hip Web Design will help you with original branding, design, search engine optimization, content management (cms), creative marketing (podcasting, videocasting, social bookmarking, blogging, etc.), and customization. With an online store built by Hip Web Design, you&#8217;ll have the ability to easily manage your store on your own, drastically reducing the maintenance cost of running your site.</p>
<p>I invite you to look through <a title="My portfolio." href="portfolio">my portfolio</a> and take a look at the ways I&#8217;ve helped others establish their own unique cyberspace identity. I give all my clients the individual attention they demand, and strive to offer an unparalleled web design experience. Just take a look at some of the <a title="Client testimonials." href="client-testimonials/testimonials/">testimonials</a> my previous clients have left.</p>
