Are you looking for ecommerce web site that is affordable and easy to manage? Many new business startups find it frustrating to start a business online, because it can be a confusing process.
Of all the people who contact us, the one question we hear most is what is an ecommerce web site design solution as opposed to web site design. Many think that ecommerce web design is the same as ecommerce software. This is not always true.
Most ecommerce shopping cart software comes with a branded header and the PHP files. This means you want to remove the software branding and replace it with your own site design and logo. You may even want to change the color scheme and button designs. All this can be done with the help of a web designer. So let's find out what web design means and what impacts the cost.
Web design is actually just a form of graphic design, but with very different parameters. You need a certain skill set to work with print and different design skills to work on the web. Of those who are accomplished web designers, there are even aspects of design for ecommerce that is unique from typical website pages.
All these varying skill sets also come with different completion times. And those two elements impact the overall price of the finished project. It's not always true that the higher the price, the better the solution... but it can be an indicator.
Designers who only do layouts and image illustrations for printed brochures know that the design skills itself might look the same... but it has several important differences.
First the color and resolution for printed marketing communicatons, such as ads and brochures, are very different from the Web. The size for a printed brochure is determined by the size of the paper. The size of the web design is determined by preference, today's computer screen sizes and even mobile devices. Going further... the size of an ecommerce site design is determined by the software (although changes and settings can be controlled).
Some order up and then discover their site is complicated, difficult and time consuming to manage, because typically software systems target big companies with deep pockets, large staffs and webmasters. Of those shopping cart software systems that do cater to small business, most require an additional investment for design and installation, or they want the seller to operate on their domain: a domain shared by maybe hundreds and thousands of other stores. Not really a good proposition.
The problem with this is the unexpected expense, lack of domain resources and inability to move the site as you grow your business. Most startups overlook the problems that can come up down the road, because they don't know about them.
You want an ecommerce web site solution with a rock solid shopping cart, merchant account and security certificate on YOUR domain, because this combination is like a magnet wooing new buyers by the tens of hundreds.
You know it's true: People flock to the Internet to make purchases now... when they used to get in their car and drive to the mall to shop. That's why with the Internet, you have unlimited opportunities to make money. Customers pull out their credit cards and press the "buy now" button in record numbers.
Can you imagine sitting in front of your computer smiling as you count the orders in your inbox that were placed last evening. How much fun would it be to operate your new ecommerce business and make money from day one?
