Thank you for being a loyal EasyWebshop user! And this comes from the heart. ❤️ While the EU makes it ever more difficult for small businesses to operate, you decided to keep going. It takes courage to be an entrepreneur in this economic climate. The shakeout of small businesses in the EU also affects us, as SME's are our primary users. When we lose customers, it's not because they go to competitors (why would they?). Every business that has to close because of mismanagement of politicians is also a human tragedy, often with dramatic implications on family life and overall happiness. More bad weather is to be expected in 2025 in the form of absurd bureaucracy and inflation. But there is also room for optimism: small businesses are the backbone of our economy and many brave entrepreneurs like you are keeping the boat afloat. Read the full article: image

High quality product photos update We are excited to announce our latest update: category and product photos are now of higher quality and product lists can be customized even more to represent your products. When EasyWebshop was launched in 2009, we were the first provider of mobile friendly webshops. Back then, smartphones had small screens and slow internet connections. Therefore, photos were compressed and optimized for fast loading times. By 2015, all our websites became responsive and photo sizes were increased to balance image quality and load times. Fast forward to 2024, smartphones are more powerful and internet connections are much faster. We can now offer high quality photos while preserving ease of use and fast load times. We hope this update is useful to you and helps to make your website even better for your visitors. Need inspiration? Take a look at our examples page:

Yes, we're celebrating the 15th birthday of EasyWebshop! Some of you have been with us from the beginning, and we're very thankful for this loyality! Despite worrying economical times, we are very optimistic about the future. New technologies are being developed which make the web more private and decentralized. Each of these new technologies make us less dependent and free us from control of big tech companies and tyrannical governments. We foresee big changes in the payment industry with Lightning payments. The concept of social media is being revolutionized with new protocols like Nostr. And new approaches in making web content distributed will most probably change the hosting landscape. As you've come to expect from us, we keep following latest and lasting trends. With EasyWebshop, you are always three steps ahead of the competition. Expect interesting new technologies and continues updates, all while we keep everything rock stable and backwards compatible.
