When your eCommerce site is your business, you want to do everything you can to make it right. Here are the most common eCommerce web design blunders we see.
Trying to be too different. There’s a difference between standing out and reinventing the wheel. Some businesses also try to be all things to all people but trying to please everyone usually ends up making an eCommerce site generic and bland. Instead, you should focus on the limited things you do well to serve your customers’ interests.
Forgetting to factor in trust. Reputation and security are the building blocks of a website design people will put their faith in. A trusted, tested eCommerce platform that is up-to-date on all security issues is central to protecting your brand’s online reputation.
Unoriginal product descriptions. Repetitive product descriptions based on the ones supplied by manufacturers are not only boring, they also don’t take into consideration search engine optimization (SEO), particularly local SEO, that can help you reach your target audience.
Technical SEO errors. Speaking of SEO, it’s important your eCommerce website be designed to avoid duplicate page versions, fix 404 errors as quickly as possible, and check for broken internal and external links. It’s also critical to ensure people can get to any page on your website from the page they happen to be on.
Complicated carts, checkout, shipping, and returns. When shopping online, people want convenience. Don’t make it unnecessarily difficult for someone to give you their money. Checkout should be smooth and there should be no surprises like high shipping costs or expensive return policies waiting at the end of the experience.
