This is why we ensure all of the eCommerce website platforms we build are optimised by our in-house team of SEO experts. The result? A website that not only looks impressive but can be easily found by your customers.

Up-to-date Design Tools

By adopting BIGcommerce, our developers can design with freedom, ignite creativity and craft beautiful online store experiences through great eCommerce website design.

To create these online shops, we use design tools that know no bounds. This allows you to operate an online platform without worry, taming operational complexity with an easy-to-use, interface that can be integrated with Google Shopping.

Key eCommerce Features and Functionality

In terms of features and functionality, we guarantee the best engagement value by ensuring your site is fully optimised for SEO, is technically sound, and most importantly of all, complements your brand.

We do this by taking the following factors into consideration:

Integrate Google Shopping

Google Shopping, previously referred to as Google Products or Google Product Search, is a Google service that enables consumers to search for products on an online shop, comparing the prices of different brands’ products and services.

To use Google Shopping, you must have a Google AdWords account in place. This tool allows eCommerce websites to run their shopping campaigns, whilst a Google Merchant Centre manages your ‘product feed’.

Those adopting this service from Google can effectively use it to gain more reach and target more customers, showcasing the services or products you offer in a flattering light.

Management of stock levels

In a nutshell, inventory management is the sourcing, storing, and selling of stock. To excel in this area, you must understand how much stock you own, how much you should market it for, where to store it, and how long to keep it.

For any eCommerce business, grasping how to manage inventory is key – irrespective of the size of the company in question. Successfully managing stock levels avoids waste, reduces expenses, and saves time. The result? When you stay on top of supply, you generate more customer focus. Why? Because you’re giving your customers the products and services they want.

Many businesses are unaware of just how important inventory management best practice is. Unfortunately, a variety of eCommerce companies still lack relevant knowledge in this area.

To give an example, some of the biggest firms on the planet have collapsed due to not having access to the correct expertise, systems and techniques.

A good inventory management system should include the following pointers to ensure their eCommerce store stays at the top;

• Know when to re-order. First and foremost, you need to have a system in place that notifies you of when stock is running low. Running out of products and having to turn away potential customers isn’t the best way to retain consumers and grow your customer base.
• Knowing how much to re-order. Managing inventory helps you to order the right amount but not too much.
• Knowing how many more products to order. Having accurate inventory tracking in place will help with purchasing products and product success.
• Knowing how long stock will survive. This is dependent on what kind of business you own, and what products or services you sell. Without the correct inventory, several goods may end up unaccounted for and unsold, which will ultimately result in a loss.

BIGcommerce

BigCommerce? We’re glad you asked. This unique software is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms on the market to date and with good reason. For one, it is an extremely cost-effective solution, this is true in both initial and long-term expenses.

For a business to be successful, a lot of this triumph comes down to numbers. Cost-effectivity is one of the main reasons several companies and brands use BigCommerce for shopping cart software.

Asides from being very easy to programme, it boasts many other incredible features. It’s reliable, versatile, responsive, works with numerous web platforms, and enables brands to create heightened customer loyalty.

On top of these advantages, BigCommerce makes managing returns, payment gateways and shipping providers a walk in the park.

We’ve listed a few of the top benefits of using BigCommerce as your eCommerce platform below;

Great support

For many brands, to run their online business successfully, 24/7 support is a must and one that offers peace of mind.

This is exactly what you can expect with BigCommerce. Any unexpected problems to arise will be covered by our in-house web development team.

Mobile friendly

Another great advantage of BigCommerce is that it is mobile responsive. This allows brands to easily optimise their shopping carts with various devices, including mobile, PC and tablets.

As the majority of consumers opt to shop and browse on the move these days, usually via a handheld device, this is a hugely important factor to consider.

We offer several mobile themes, suited to all brands – irrespective of size or sector.

On top of mobile-friendly sites, you may also wish to create an app, which consumers can download on the App Store.

Our developers can assist you with such a development, allowing you to offer a versatile offering, available on more than just one platform.

Today’s consumers love being able to download a shopping app from the App Store, mainly because it gives them access to services at their fingertips.

Sell on numerous websites

BigCommerce allows the brands we work with to sell on multiple websites, including some of the most prevalent shopping platforms like Amazon, eBay, and even Facebook.

To ensure you stay one step ahead of your competition, you mustn’t overlook these platforms, especially if you wish to drive traffic to your website and grow your client base.

In terms of having the option to sell products and your brand’s story on social, this is key to brands wishing to integrate a social aspect into their online platform.

It’s also another extremely popular avenue for online sales and product promotion.

Product syndication

BigCommerce offers the potential to lead more traffic to your website, using tools including shopping feeds and product syndication.

In addition to this, Bigcommerce allows you to connect with eCommerce platforms, whilst benefitting from popular shopping feeds including Google product search and Shopzilla.

Quick set-up

Since time is money, a quick set-up is key to getting your online store up and running in a minimal amount of time.

This is another benefit of BigCommerce and one that ensures your ideas are turned into a reality as soon as humanly possible.

Customer loyalty

With its ability to create coupon codes and loyalty cards, BigCommerce allows for endless customer loyalty possibilities.

How? By allowing you to distribute these cards as and when you wish, giving you the freedom to structure your marketing strategy in a way that benefits your brand.

You can ask consumers to opt into loyalty programmes by requesting their email addresses.

Manage returns the simple way

Want to manage returns in a simple yet effective way? Cue BigCommerce.

This platform enables businesses to easily manage returns to their online store by adopting an inventory management interface. When it comes to perfecting your eCommerce website, this is a must-have feature!

Payment gateways

Another essential BigCommerce feature for your online store is its ability to support major payment gateway integrations, including Google Checkout and PayPal.

Both are essential when it comes to providing a convenient shopping experience for your customers.

Our eCommerce development services will help you to implement this tool, which will in turn help you to generate sales.

Shipping providers

Another advantage? This platform supports all the major shipping providers. This is a feature you can’t ignore when creating an eCommerce website if you wish to offer customers a shopping experience that is both reliable, and convenient and offers the utmost in eCommerce functionality.

Great for Search Engine Optimisation

Finally, SEO. This tool is something that should be embraced by all eCommerce websites, and a tool that cannot afford to be overlooked.

API integrations

To ensure you stay on trend and one step ahead of your competition, investing in API interfaces (Application Programming Interfaces) is a must.

Why? It’s the only way to keep up with the ever-changing digital world.

What are API integrations?

In a nutshell, API integration is the link between two or more applications.

APIs allow these systems to exchange data, keeping this data in sync, heightening productivity, and ultimately, driving revenue for your eCommerce website.

API can also be determined as a business’s online programming interface, which enables applications to communicate with backend systems.

This tech is a crucial part of selling products on the World Wide Web by granting them access to services by adding codes to various applications. For example, showcasing your company’s location on Google Maps.

Why do you need this tool?

It allows businesses to run seamlessly whilst benefitting their customers by providing them with useful data.

Payment Gateway Integration

A payment gateway should be thought of as the metaphorical cash register in an online transaction. You need this setup to generate virtual sales on your eCommerce website.

eCommerce Conversion Rate Optimisation Services

Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is one of the single most important ingredients for eCommerce success.

As well as an array of top tried and tested CRO methods that many eCommerce development agencies use, there are several very effective, lesser-known CRO techniques, some of which can pay off when used correctly.

What is conversion rate optimisation and why should you embrace it?

Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is a technique applied to your eCommerce website, which enables it to work smarter. In a nutshell, this process persuades customers to take the action you want them to.

This could be subscribing to an email newsletter or marketing email, clicking on a video, providing feedback or completing online forms.

Most importantly, CRO persuades consumers to make a purchase, and even more importantly, repeat this purchase time and time again. The goal? To generate a loyal following.

High web traffic volume is all good and well, but ensuring a high percentage of users convert is the biggest challenge.

How does CRO work?

CRO works by fine-tuning user interface (UI) elements to nurture consumer relationships by reducing friction.

The result? An increase in consumer actions. CRO is determined by dividing the number of web visitors to a certain page by the number of conversions on a webpage.

There are various methods you can take into consideration to heighten your website’s CRO, which can be put in place at every stage of the user’s journey, from their first visit to your website to them buying a product or service.

When users become customers, there is, even more, to be done to coax brand loyalty and repeat business.

When we analyse CRO, we’re able to discover missed opportunities, which you can then relay to your in-house marketing teams. A well-devised and well-executed CRO plan can have a huge effect on your overall marketing strategy.

eCommerce development Websites Vs Information Websites

The contemporary world we live in today is a big fan of online content, particularly websites. Almost every company in existence has its very own website, without one, it’s easy to fall behind the competition.

When it comes to types of websites, there are different variants to choose from, including both informational websites and eCommerce options, both of which perform differently.

Information websites

An information website showcases information about the services and products of a particular business. This style of website can vary dramatically, ranging from tips on how to cook a certain dish to medical information.

Businesses opting for these web platforms use them solely as a platform to provide information, display past work and describe the services they offer. Consumers can’t make actual purchases on an information website, these must be completed offline.

The main purpose of an information site? To teach your target audience more about your business and services.

In most scenarios, consumers prefer to do their own research on companies before committing, this is when an information website comes in handy.

eCommerce websites

An eCommerce website on the other hand provides consumers with an online platform in which to purchase services or products directly from a business, irrespective of location.

E-commerce website platforms are designed to facilitate this exact function in the shape of commercial transactions.

These transactions necessitate the online transmission of information. E-commerce sites comprise the likes of retail stores, auction sites, business-to-business services, music sites and financial management sites.

Some examples of prevalent eCommerce websites include retail giants Amazon and eBay, as well as iTunes, Zappos and Overstock.

Although the purpose of building a web platform surrounds the promotion of products on the World Wide Web, an eCommerce website takes this one step further.

One of the benefits of having some form of eCommerce website includes saving you a great deal on overheads and expenses, whilst providing your audience with a convenient, hassle-free shopping site.

Whether you use website builders like Wix, work alongside a development company like us, or utilise free eCommerce development services, a well developed and designed e-commerce platform enables your customers to take advantage of your offerings from almost anywhere, at any time.

Best eCommerce CMS Platforms

When it comes to marketing your eCommerce website, never underestimate the power of the written word. As Bill Gates said ‘Content is King.’

Great content has the power to convey a wealth of information, educate your consumers, enthral them, and persuade them to buy your products or services.

Where does CMS come into this?

CMS, otherwise known as a content management system, is a type of software that helps you develop, edit, and publish content on your web platform.

This technology plays an important part in your eCommerce site, helping you to ensure the website is up-to-date and your marketing strategy is on point.

One of the most popular CMS platforms in existence today is WordPress. An incredible 34% of website platforms are powered by WordPress today. Despite this, it’s not the only CMS platform available.

There are numerous options, spanning from free CMS platforms to enterprise-level custom options. Each model boasts its unique features and advantages.

How does CMS help you?

CMS is a great tool to adopt if you wish to attract customers and share your skillset and your point of view.

It’s also a cost-effective tool, with content marketing being one of the most reliable sources to draw in organic traffic. The result? A better customer experience.

CMS Platform Comparison

Having a dedicated content management system, one that can amalgamate with your existing eCommerce software, is key to optimising your content.

You should treat CMS as your contemporary printing press – a tool that assists you in sharing your content with a wider audience.

There are several CMS platforms to choose from. To ensure the best results, the platforms we design promise to be a natural fit for your eCommerce website.

What to look for when comparing CMS platforms?

• Easy integration
• Quick setup and ease of use
• Great value
• Customisable
• SEO friendly

Shopify

Shopify features several CMS features and easy-to-use templates.

Magento

This Adobe product is another open-source eCommerce platform, available in both cloud-hosted and self-hosted options.

This highly developed programme is a good choice for larger businesses with many developer resources.

Drupal

Drupal is a highly regarded open-source CMS focusing on developing digital experiences, designed to target various audiences across several channels.

Similar to WordPress, Drupal is not used for eCommerce development and sales alone and can be combined with other plugins and frameworks too.
