Are You Looking For An E-commerce Website?E-commerce website design, we do advise you talking to a few difference web designers and getting some quotes.
You may not have heard of e-commerce website design, but it is likely that you have used one in the past.
The most famous e-commerce website is Amazon, an online store that started selling books and now sells everything from A to Z.
Your website design itself needs to stand out, as you have about 1 second before the customer clicks the ‘back’ button and goes somewhere else.

E-commerce websites are very popular now mainly due to more and more companies moving their business on-line.
Globally over £150 billion is spent on-line; which has gone up from what it was 5 years ago; and in the next 5 years it will more than likely continue to go up.
E-commerce website design is not difficult; however a few things need to be done before you can get going:
There are lots of creative agencies around the UK, however not all can produce good e-commerce websites.
Many designers only work with smaller websites (brochure style sites) and some can ‘knock up’ a basic e-commerce site. However as it has been said, if you are going to do a job, do it right. Sometimes it is worth investing in a good web agency in order to prevent problems later down the road
The payment gateway is supplied by a intermediary between you and your bank. Companies such as Sage Pay, Paypoint, Paypal are all licensed to take secure on-line payments which are then sent to your bank 3 days – 7 days later. Payment gateways will ‘sit’ on your payments to make interest on the money being in their accounts (the same way as banks delay payments).
All use a hosting company that ‘holds’ their website. The hosting needs to be set up with a company that can give you the flexibility of traffic to your website and allow the site to run smoothly whether it has 5 people using it or 50,000 people using it.
Once the site is designed (see above) it will need to be developed. As time ticks on, changes will need to be made, new pages added, updates to images etc. so finding the right company to do all of this is important. A bit like buying a car, the first cost is the initial purchase, then there is the servicing and maintenance; web development is the servicing and maintenance bit.
SEO is about getting your website up and recognised on the search engines. In order to get visitors to your website (to buy things) you will need to get your website up and visible on the search engines. This is another discipline completely and cannot be overlooked if you want your site to be successful.
They can range in cost from around £5,000 upwards to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
It is advised to pay a little more from a good website agency that has a proven track record in building these type of websites.

Sometimes the design of a site can really let it down. Sometimes errors popping up can turn a customer off. Sometimes the load speed of a page may cause a customer to leave.
These are all traits of a cheaper website and can have a big impact on your website if it is not designed by a good designer.
