But is your store ready for what 2020 is to bring?

We believe every business faces its own unique set of challenges once their online store is up and running. From getting store traffic to improving usability and boosting conversions, there are a lot of small advancements that online stores need to gain an edge above their competitors and make the most of their stores.

This is exactly why we came up with Task4Store - to offer a one-stop solution for all small task requirements to optimize all your web pages to attract, delight, convert and retain your customers and boost the overall site performance.

But What are these Small Tasks?

Small tasks are nothing but quick fixes and targeted tweaks that aim to solve a certain issue you are facing on your store or give you desired results for sales, conversions and brand presence. Any task that takes upto 1 hour of personalised design, development or marketing expertise is a small task.

This could either be a fresh look to your store with small modifications to your user design and interface or adding product labels like Sold Out, New Arrival, et al and announcement bars. We offer single tasks starting from $19 with a fast turnaround of 1 business day for a single task. Even though these tweaks are done in less time, all the tasks are executed and implemented with high creativity and precision.
