Basic Guide to Creating Better E-Commerce Experience
e-Commerce website design involves more than simply creating pages
that will attract visitors. That’s important, of course, but how your
website treats customers once they’ve arrived on a page is of equal
importance.
You want the right tools for the job, and you need to know how best
to apply them while trying to secure not only their purchases, but also
their membership and brand loyalty. This helps ensure that your buyers
will keep coming back for more repeat sales, allowing your business to
grow and expand.
Few e-Commerce Features to Know
If your e-Commerce website is attractive, user friendly, and easy to
navigate that’s great, but if you neglect any of the following, you will
likely experience a reduction in sales.
It is always a good idea to check your site with Page Speed (or any of these other speed tools)
before you open for business. If your pages take more than 3 seconds on
average to load, you will not only lose potential customers but also
your rankings in search engine results. More related posts:
FAQ pages are great time-saving tools and can help you address your
customers’ concerns and questions without having to deal with them
individually. FAQ pages can address product features, product return
options, payment methods, or more. They are one way to provide great
customer support.
If your website is not mobile-optimized (mobilegeddon,
anyone?), you could risk losing a large segment of your potential
customers: the "mobile shopping" crowd. Ensure that the theme you use is
a responsive theme.
Make sure your e-Commerce website includes a customer review
page. Make it easy for shoppers to add their comments and opinions and
see what others have to say. Customer reviews can provide useful
information to the store owner as well but do note that many would only
opt to write a review when something is wrong.
Still, the option for customers to voice their opinion should always be available.
Don’t let a cumbersome checkout process ruin what might otherwise be a
pleasant shopping experience for your customers. If it is complicated
at all, it could result in an abandoned cart, and one less repeat
customer. Keep it simple, straightforward, and secure.
Trying to give your customers an excellent e-Commerce experience can
be a lot of work, which is why if your budget permits, it is worth
investing in a WordPress theme that can do most of the hard work for
you.
