What is EKM?
EKM is a managed, all-in-one eCommerce platform. It is designed for small business owners who prefer not to be concerned with the technical aspects of web development.
EKM was formerly known as ekmPowershop. Founded in Preston, Lancashire in the UK in 2002, they have grown to become the UK’s number one hosted eCommerce solution and have several thousands of customers.
EKM is a great choice for users who want UK based support. You always have support for your site from someone who knows and understands what you are trying to achieve.
You do not need to have any website design experience.
Your website will be reviewed by EKM regularly to optimise for conversions.
