What to look for in a GREAT eCommerce website for small business
It goes without saying that your website should have a highly visual user interface, feature easy navigation and including compelling calls to action, but here is a list of all the other things you should look out for!
Design
eCommerce websites need to not only look great, but also be functional. Having the information that your customer wants available quickly as easily is paramount, but so too is getting that all-important sale. Keeping the “above the fold” content clean, concise and relevant is critical, and easy navigation to other aspects for your site is also critical.
Functionality
The degree of functionality included in an eCommerce website can vary greatly – so too can your business needs. Make sure you know exactly what you need from your eCommerce site such as inventory management, payment processing, how are you going to charge postage – flat rate, free, or variable on product weight? Also think through if you are going to sell locally only, or if you will be selling internationally (make sure you check out the tax implications!)
Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools
Understanding not only how many visitors you are getting to your website, but also where and how they are getting to your website is important. Google Analytics will give you great insight into your visitors and what they are looking at, and Webmaster Tools (search console) will give you insights into which search terms people are using to find your site.
Maintenance
Are you willing to – and have time to – update and maintain your website including products, pricing and content related to your business? Ecommerce websites can be built on all sorts of different content management systems (ours are built on WordPress with a WooCommerce integration) meaning you have full control of your website.
Ownership
At the end of the website build project, will you own your site or will you need to continue “renting” it? Domain names and website hosting are maintenance fees associated with all websites (some are just built into an ongoing monthly or yearly rate by website development companies) – but if you OWN your website you can move your files wherever you like!
