Helping your business lead the way

Ecommerce Website Design

Primarily we build bespoke ecommerce sites using Woocommerce and the WordPress platform. However other ecommerce sites such as Magento, Shopify, OpenCart etc can all be catered for. We have built both catalogue and retail sites that stock over a 1000 products.

The key to the success of any ecommerce website lies in the planning and designing. Choosing the right design can be compared to managing and organising a physical store. Good design and navigation can significantly affect the way your customers shop online.

Our primary focus is to think like your customers and give them a shop they feel comfortable browsing and ultimately buying from.

Factors we take into consideration include:

  • Easy & simple layout – allow your customers to find what they are looking for quickly and easily.
  • Fast loading – Increasing site speed will improve conversion rates.
  • Search engine optimised – Take care of on-site & technical SEO to make sure your website appears for the right search queries. 
  • Intuitive user experience – Simplify the entire process from browsing to checkout.
  • Mobile responsive – Increase sales by engaging with your mobile customers.

What ecommerce platform should you use?

Designing and building an e-commerce website requires a strong base platform such as WordPress, Shopify, OpenCart or Magento.

WordPress and Woocommerce are without doubt the world’s most popular, although Shopify is becoming very popular.  Ask us about the differences between the platforms and what is best for you and your business.

What things do I need to consider when setting up an online shop?

There are several areas to think about when it comes to selling online.

  • Branding, colours etc
  • Product categories and sub-categories

  • Product weights and sizes
  • Pricing, bulk discounts
  • Packaging costs
