The internet has opened up many companies to a global market, however, it’s also brought competition to an entirely new level as well. Companies who actively seek ways to improve the usability of their ecommerce website will position themselves well ahead of their competition.
Ecommerce Design Tips
In this article, we’ll review what makes an ecommerce website ready for prime time.
Fast and Flexible
First impressions count so a successful ecommerce site must be fast on start-up. Not only do potential customers notice site speed, so does Google when they go through their site ranking process. An ecommerce site should also be flexible enough to work seamlessly for both desktop and mobile users (including tablets).
Intuitive User Experience
One only has to use a clunky website to understand that presenting an intuitive user experience is very important in web design. A good ecommerce site will give the user an experience that seems to anticipate their every need, from start to finish.
This doesn’t mean simply presenting customers with great photos and descriptions of all your products and/or services, although that is important. Users also appreciate other helpful features such as an easily accessible review section, a question and answer or FAQ section, as well as a checkout process that is reassuringly labeled as safe and secure.
