Enough About Us, Lets Talk About Your Strategy.
Starting with a basic ecommerce strategy will help you identify and plan for gaps, account for PCI compliance, and improve customer satisfaction by considering all functions of your store. Without a strategy, you could run into these show stopping issues:
- Confusing layouts that result in increased exit rates
- User interaction and bad aesthetics causing decreased conversion
- Security issues causing lost trust and bad publicity
- Lack of compliance, resulting in big fines or an inability to accept credit cards.
- Bad resource planning which might lead to outages that disable sales
Just for starters you will want to take the following into consideration when building your strategy
- User-based strategy for aesthetics and purchasing paths
- Platform selection, including a plan for platform migration, where applicable
- Market-appropriate mobile functionality unique from your desktop site and phones
- Security and compliance measures of your specific industry
There is quite a bit to think about and strategize on. This is only a small fraction and we would be delighted to help take the load off. You tell us what you want to sell and we begin on the standard 6 step web design process. You can see this process laid out in full on our Professional Web Design page. Once that is complete we put your storefront through a grueling critique establishing the aesthetics and fine tuning the customer purchasing path. In this process we make sure that your product is represented in the most efficient ways and that the proper cross-selling and upselling is in place. Now that the storefront and content pages are all in place we establish the proper shipping and payment methods. After final testing, and upon your approval, we publish your site to your eCommerce Hosting account.
Woocommerce
Starting out in the world originally as a WordPress plugin Woocommerce shopping cart has grown so much. It now ranks in top of class due to it’s ability to manage up to 250k products due to it’s tight integration with the WordPress API and is still greatly extendable.
PrestaShop
Still going strong the Prestashop Shopping Cart pushes forward, with out of the box product visuals and ease of responsive template override and overall PrestaShop design. Sales conversion statistics and reporting still make it adored by many online merchants.
Magento
Magento shopping cart broke the mold causing a revolution in ecommerce feature rich carts. Though for community edition they still have a little to do speeding up their template system they are still very feature rich right out of the box. Largely community supported Open Cart
Open Cart shopping cart design is now in fourth place. Still very easy adjust and manipulate the responsive templating and they have thought through the day to day needs of the merchant for sure. What they didn’t think of the community did, such as native Quickbooks exporting.
Other online storefronts supported: AbanteCart Shopping Cart, TomatoCart Shopping Cart, VirtueMart for Joomla, osCommerce and Zen Cart.
