Ecommerce FAQs
Are you thinking about launching or improving your online store? A strong digital strategy is the foundation of ecommerce success. By investing in a well-researched, structured plan, you ensure your efforts are targeted at the right audience, with the right message, on the channels that matter most.
Below, we’ve answered some of the most common ecommerce questions to help you get started with confidence.
What is an ecommerce website?
An ecommerce website is a digital storefront, granting businesses access to customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Unlike an ordinary website, an ecommerce website is designed for conducting online transactions, allowing businesses to sell products or services directly to customers over the Internet. For those who are able to adopt an online business model, an ecommerce website can bring unparalleled opportunities and skyrocket sales.
Do I need an ecommerce website?
What platform and Content Management System Is best for an ecommerce website?
The best platform and Content Management System (CMS) for an ecommerce website depend on various factors, including your business needs, technical requirements, budget, and scalability. Shopify, for example, is ideal for businesses of all sizes, from startups to enterprise-level operations. Its user-friendly interface, templates, and integrations make it easy to use. By contrast, ASP.NET requires more technical expertise but offers extremely powerful functionality and is an excellent choice for a mature, mid-sized business.
How long does it take to develop an ecommerce website?
The ecommerce development time varies based on factors such as the website’s complexity, desired features, and customisation level. A basic ecommerce site may take a few weeks, while a more complex, custom-built platform could take several months. We’ll provide a timeline estimate during the initial consultation.
What features should my ecommerce website have?
An effective ecommerce site typically includes features like secure payment processing, inventory management, product categorisation, a user-friendly checkout process, and mobile responsiveness. Additional features may include customer accounts, personalised recommendations, and integrated marketing tools.
