CREATING SUCCESS

Our ecommerce website developers’ process

Our ecommerce website development process involves several stages, each designed to ensure a functional, user-friendly, and visually appealing site that aligns with your business goals: 

Discovery and planning

We’ll define your business goals, target audience, and core functionalities. Following this, we’ll research your industry competitors before choosing the most suitable ecommerce platform.  

Design and UX/UI

We’ll create wireframes to map out the site, develop a visual style that aligns with your brand identity, and ultimately design an intuitive layout with easy navigation. 

Development and integration

This involves front- and back-end development, in which we code the front-end elements to bring the design to life and build the underlying functionality. Next, we integrate the necessary tools.  

Content creation and management

We’ll input product details (descriptions, images, prices, etc.), optimise content for search engines, and implement a content management system for easy updates.  

Testing and quality assurance

We’ll make sure that all site functions are working properly and the site is performing across multiple browsers and devices. Following this, we’ll conduct security audits and add SSL encryption to protect customer data. 

Launch and deployment

We’ll conduct a final review of all site components to confirm it’s ready for launch, set up hosting and domain configuration, migrate the site to a live environment, and monitor site performance to resolve any initial issues that may arise. 

Ongoing maintenance and optimisation

We’ll ensure all plugins, platforms, and security features remain up-to-date, track key metrics like page load speed, bounce rate, and conversion rate, and regularly update product information.

FAQ

Ecommerce FAQs

An ecommerce website is a digital storefront, granting businesses access to customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Unlike an ordinary website, an ecommerce website is designed for conducting online transactions, allowing businesses to sell products or services directly to customers over the Internet. For those who are able to adopt an online business model, an ecommerce website can bring unparalleled opportunities and skyrocket sales. 

Whether you need an ecommerce website depends on various factors, including your business model, target market, and goals. If you desire to sell via your business website and you have the capabilities to ensure accurate inventory management and take care of the logistics, an ecommerce website presents a wealth of opportunities. 

The best platform and content management system (CMS) for an ecommerce website depend on various factors, including your business needs, technical requirements, budget, and scalability. Shopify, for example, is ideal for businesses of all sizes, from startups to enterprise-level operations. Its user-friendly interface, templates, and integrations make it easy to use. By contrast, ASP.NET requires more technical expertise but offers extremely powerful functionality and is an excellent choice for a mature, midsized business.

Development time varies based on factors such as the website’s complexity, desired features, and customisation level. A basic ecommerce site may take a few weeks, while a more complex, custom-built platform could take several months. We’ll provide a timeline estimate during the initial consultation.

An effective ecommerce site typically includes features like secure payment processing, inventory management, product categorisation, a user-friendly checkout process, and mobile responsiveness. Additional features may include customer accounts, personalised recommendations, and integrated marketing tools.
