online, boosting your bottom line. Contact us to learn more.
eCommerce Website Design
Nearly all businesses today have websites but not all are eCommerce sites where their owners sell products online. eCommerce web design
differs from other website design in one fundamental way; unlike strictly information-based websites that may display products and services,
eCommerce sites are set up to facilitate transactions. Examples include retail stores, auction sites, business-to-business sites, financial
management sites, and streaming entertainment sites.
A well-constructed eCommerce web design allows your customers to buy your goods and services from practically anywhere and at any time. As
online competition continues to grow, knowing how to set your website apart is essential. Working with a seasoned digital marketing agency
to create and maintain your eCommerce website design ensures your site will drive revenue and give your customers a great brand
experience.
eCommerce web design trends come and go, but these essentials remain consistently true.
Keep it simple. This is especially true now that research shows nearly 65% of Canadians prefer mobile tech while shopping.
Try to avoid complicated animations, lengthy descriptions, and stock images.
Be transparent. If you shop online yourself, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of getting to the checkout process
and seeing added on fees like delivery and/or handling costs. Hidden costs are the primary reason visitors abandon their cart—and your
website—without making a purchase. Unfortunately, not only do you lose the sale, you likely lose the buyer’s trust and the customer
themselves. Make sure your customer knows about any and all fees you may need to charge before they get to your check out.
Offer Extensive Filters. A great customer experience is the ultimate goal of an eCommerce website design. The faster a
customer can find the specific product or service they’re looking for, the more likely they’ll buy from you.
Finally, high-quality images and videos go a long way in making up for the customer’s inability to touch a product or have a face-to-face
consultation. Products and services alike should be presented in a way that has the most positive impact on the customer’s buying decision.
eCommerce is Here to Stay
By late 2019 eCommerce retail trade sales in Canada amounted to nearly $1.85 billion on mobile apps across all platforms. Worldwide, retail
sales are predicted to grow from $3.53 trillion U.S. Dollars in 2019 to more than $6.54 trillion in 2023. Your eCommerce marketing
strategies need to focus on attracting and converting people looking for products and services. Web design plays a huge role in making that
happen.
