Instructions for Savi2 setup from OLD platform

There are many cool new features, but your first goal is making your new site identical to your old site with products, menus, and categories so you can go live with Savi2. Just by switching to Savi2 you'll increase customer experience and sales so by keeping things simple initially you'll avoid overloading yourself with new organization ideas and features to play with.

***** OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS ON SOME OF THE NEW FEATURES *****

-- PRODUCTS --

Product Description: The biggest change to this section was we’ve removed some icons in the product description Text Editor. We juggled with this for a long time and decided to strip out some of the text because we know it will help stores sell more products. The reason people began preferring Facebook over MySpace was MySpace allowed members to control the design of their profiles, and overtime the MySpace pages were so busy and hard to read that users began preferring the clean, easy to read format, of Facebook. Our other deciding factor was looking at all major eCommerce stores like Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Nobles, etc. They all have standardized font in the product descriptions, which make it easier to read while scrolling through products.
