Why Do I Need an Authorized Yahoo! Store Designer?

If you own a Yahoo! Store and you are looking for work to be completed on your store, you want to work specifically with someone who understands and works with specifically Yahoo! Stores.

This is when you will need a Yahoo! Store Designer. A designer that is specific to Yahoo! can help set up your RTML the correct way instead of doing what is known as a head-tag hack job. Basically they put your header into the head-tag field of your website. This is a huge mistake when it comes to your SEO. The head tag field should only be used for meta information, CSS, or Java information.

A designer that is not familiar with the RTML or Yahoo! Stores is unable to properly put this information where it belongs. Your site may look ok but the back end would be incorrect which could lead to your site not being listed as high in the search engines.

When choosing a Yahoo! Store Designer make sure that they completely understand how RTML works and that they will still leave you in complete control over your store. You do not want to have a new design that requires re-hiring this company to make all changes for you. Checked to see that the company you are dealing with is on the Yahoo Merchant Solutions Developer Page.
