E-Commerce websites, such as Amazon and RedBubble, are all the rage. Especially during times like now when people are browsing/shopping online for any items they may need. So, make it easier for your client to browse your site and make a purchase with these tips in mind. First, there are different types of e-commerce websites: business-to-business, business-to-consumer, and vice versa. Format your website according to the demographic that you are appealing to. Have a domain name that’s easy to pronounce and remember!
Clearly indicated prices
The biggest advantage to e-commerce websites is easy product research and price comparison. When displaying a product, provide a layout that will aid the customer in comparing prices. If applicable, have a page on the website dedicated to products/packages and a chart of price variations.
A detailed description of the product
Some feel uneasy about online purchases, concerned that the product is not the quality that it appears to be online. Reassure them with a clear, technical description and how the product works. Provide a picture for every item and color. Also, guarantee returns for online purchases. Thus, the same applies for services, policies, and contact information as well. If a product has multiple colors/designs, feature a photo of every design that the consumer can click on and enlarge. Include any other handy information, like size charts. Also, offer suggestions for similar products.
Consistent theme and organization
Having a unified look all throughout the page will look more appealing and enticing. In order to stand out against competitors, the website should be uniquely designed. Stick with the same colors and text font. Make sure your website is updated. Have a consistent theme on both website and social media sites.
Other important notes
Fast connection! If it takes more than 2 or 3 seconds to load, then visitors lose interest. Have a clean-looking page, free of ads and clutter. Most websites have entire-page pop-up ads that interfere with scrolling. Instead, have a small pop-up ad inviting readers to join the mailing list for a sweet deal. Keep mobile device formatting in mind. Also, have optimal SEO (search engine optimization).
