As 12 características que um chat para WordPress precisa ter

Não faltam publicações e postagens - inclusive [as de nosso blog] (/blog/sites-para-comecar-ecommerce.html) - informando sobre as mais diversas plataformas para auxiliar em algum aspecto de um negócio, seja ele qual for. No entanto, menos comuns são os posts que mostram diversos critérios e características a se levar em consideração.

Além dos tipos de ferramentas e algumas dicas para os mesmos - como o [Google Analytics] (/blog/configurar-google-analytics-ecommerce.html) -, trouxemos para vocês uma lista com 12 destes critérios a serem avaliados na procura por uma plataforma de chat online para sites e blogs WordPress. Através dela, será mais fácil parametrizar quais são os mais importantes para as necessidades de seu negócio e assim saber como avaliar cada plataforma em questão. E enquanto lê este este artigo, aproveite e baixe o nosso próprio plugin wordpress para configurar rapidamente nosso chat no seu site.

## 1. Interface limpa e fácil de usar

Assim como explicar piadas, a necessidade de se explicar como usa uma interface automaticamente faz com que ela não seja tão boa assim. Profissionais e usuários de sistemas de chat em ecommerce - seja nativo em seu site ou WordPress - não necessariamente são experts em programação ou possuem grande domínio de informática e tal qualificação não deveria ser exigida deles.

Por isso, um dos critérios mais importantes na avaliação de plataformas de chat em ecommerce para seu WordPress é a facilidade em usá-lo e encontrar suas funcionalidades e configurações. De nada adianta uma plataforma arrojada e cheia de funções avançadas se os usuários não conseguem encontrar ou manusear as mais básicas.

## 2. Compatibilidade com dispositivos móveis

O mundo já está mobile, com uma maioria vasta de pessoas acessando lojas e páginas através destes dispositivos. Por conta disso, é necessário que sua plataforma de chat para WordPress conte com o que é chamado de design responsivo. Ou seja, a ferramenta deve se ajustar automaticamente para caber no tamanho de tela onde está sendo acessada, melhorando a compatibilidade. Tente procurar por imagens de uma determinada plataforma em diferentes dispositivos para conferir como ficam nas diferentes telas.

There’s no shortage of articles and posts – even [on our own blog] (/blog/websites-to-start-ecommerce.html) – that discuss the diverse platforms that exist that can help your business in some way or another. However, there aren’t many posts that focus on the different criteria and features that you need to take into account.

As well as the types of tool available and a few tips for how to use them – such as [Google Analytics] (/blog/set-up-analytics-for-ecommerce.html) – we’ve put together a list of 12 criteria that should be considered when you’re looking for an online chat platform for websites and for WordPress blogs. This will make it easier for you to figure out which are most important for the needs of your business, helping you to evaluate each platform. Whilst reading this article, why not click here and take the chance to download our own WordPress plugin so you can easily configure our chat platform on your site?

## 1. An Interface that’s tidy and user-friendly

Just like explaining your jokes, if you need to explain how to use an interface, it automatically means that it’s not that great. Professionals and those that use chat systems for e-commerce – whether on their site or WordPress- aren’t necessarily going to be experts in programming or be clued up about IT, and they shouldn’t have to be.

That’s why one of the most important criteria, when you’re evaluating chat platforms for e-commerce on your WordPress site, is that it’s easy to use and to navigate the functions and configurations. A stylish platform with loads of complicated features is no help if users can’t find or get to grips with its most basic features.

## 2. Compatibility with mobile devices

The world is now mobile, with the vast majority of people visiting shops and pages through their devices. That’s why it’s vital for your WordPress chat platform to have what’s called responsive design. That is, the tool should automatically adjust to fit the size of the screen that’s being used to access the site, improving compatibility. Try searching for images on a certain platform on different devices to see how they appear on different screens.

Bio

So, you want to communicate with your dream clients in English - I've been offering translation, transcreation, editing, subtitling and copywriting services helping small businesses and fellow freelancers do just that since 2015.

Whether you work in the world of travel, run a small business and want to do your bit for the planet or are in the translation industry, I'll help you speak to your target market in convincing, memorable English.

Even if you don't quite fit under those categories, if you've got an exciting project in hand and want to work with a copywriter or translator who'll be just as enthusiastic about it as you are, I'm your woman.

Get in touch by emailing - [email protected] - or have a peek at my website: http://katieuniacke.com

The Translator's Copywriter:

I work with freelance translators who aren't native speakers of English and need content created or edited by some who understands their industry.

I'll take your drafts and polish them or write your copy from scratch, and I'll be your cheerleader too! It makes me so happy to see the freelance translators and boutique translation agency owners I work with diversifying, thriving and generally being wonderful.

I've also helped plenty of translation agencies craft the perfect web copy to reel new customers in hook, line and sinker.

If you're still umming and erring about whether I'm right for you, your agency or your business, this should help you to get to know me better:

✅BA Spanish and Portuguese from the University of Southampton
✅Native speaker of British English (despite the quirky surname!)
✅6 years freelance experience
✅First-hand experience in education, tourism, hospitality and retail
✅Experienced with various CAT tools
✅Trained and experienced in SEO
✅2 fiction, 1 non-fiction and 4 children's books translated
✅Over 20 lovely regular clients spread across 8 glorious countries
✅Member of the Institute of Translators and Interpreters (MITI)
✅Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (MCIL)

✅Member of the Asociación Aragonesa de Traductores e Intérpretes (ASATI)

✅ProD+T Subtitling and Closed Captioning course

Above all, I'm a language geek and English is my thing. So whether I'm creating shiny, new copy, transcreating (think of it as the perfect mix between translation and copywriting), subtitling or crafting a translation for you, you can be sure that it will be original and get your customers interested.


And if I'm not the perfect fit, I have a wide network of contacts I'm always recommending for projects. I'll let you know where the perfect freelancer for you is hiding.

It'd be lovely to hear from you: [email protected]
