How To Offer Quality Ecommerce Design Services

By Lucia Weeks


A lot of people nowadays are into designing, building, and running websites that handle e-commerce. If you are one of those people who are interested in offering quality ecommerce design services, then there are some tips that you should take note of. Here are the tips that will allow you to run your own successful site.

First, you have to make it possible for the customers of your site to refine the options they have. This means that you should let them filter the options they have as early as possible for their shopping journey. You have to let them search exactly what it is that they want to purchase. This saves them a lot of effort and time too.

Do not just limit yourself to letting customers refine their search options. Allow them to reverse this search too. In a case when they had made a mistake or when they changed their mind, let them go back without having to click the back button. Clicking the back button usually ends in a disaster so avoid that.

The position of the search bar is crucial. You have to put it in a place that is quite easy to reach. If the product a user wants to buy is not found in the landing page, they will most likely use the search bar. You have to make it easier for them to reach then. More than that, doing so can also entice them to search for more products.

Know your inventory and be on top of the stocks. If you have items which are out of stock, then clearly indicate that on the product page of your site. Do not just remove the product page in the site because that will just ruin your SEO efforts. If you just write there that the product is out-of-stock, then you can avoid ruining your SEO efforts as well as frustrating your customers.

Photographs are important to your site. That is why you should not let yourself fall short when it comes to the photography aspect. You have to use quality photographs on your site. If you make use of quality photographs on your site, you will also make it easier to entice potential buyers on buying the said product.

Make your shopping cart visible as well. Online shoppers do not want to be always sent to their basket page when they add items. That would just be troublesome for them, having to add items then to the basket page and then shop again. Instead of that, make the basket visible on every page of your site.

The site must be easy to navigate. There is nothing more frustrating for a customer than to go to one page and not find what they want to find. If the site is too clustered, it can be really frustrating for the shoppers too. You have to make sure that the site is clean and neat then.

Delivery charges might be unavoidable. However, that does not mean that you should put it at the end of the page so that you can avoid the customers from being disappointed with your product. If you do that, you might end up with lots of abandoned baskets. Instead of doing that, better add the extra charges beforehand.
