What is an e-commerce website?

An e-commerce website is a form of online business that uses information technology to create and maintain a safe, convenient and efficient trading environment between the parties involved.

When you choose e-commerce web design, you get more than a place to display and present products and services. It is also where business activities such as ordering, payment, delivery and warranty take place, making buying and selling more convenient for both seller and customer.

E-commerce websites vs. traditional sales websites

E-commerce websites and sales websites are both tools for online business that help companies reach customers effectively. Both therefore need design and features that fit user needs and business goals.

What features does an e-commerce website need?

A quality e-commerce website needs more than a good-looking design. It also needs all the features that serve the business and its customers. The basic features of an e-commerce website are:

• Better search for products and services by name, with filters and comparison.
• A design that works on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
• Show user reviews of products and services, both positive and negative.
• A wishlist feature to save the products and services customers like.
• Show recommended products and services through cross-sell and up-sell when customers add to the cart or check out, so they can find items that better fit their needs or have higher value.
• Integrate several suitable, easy payment methods.
• Provide specific shipping information.

A question many clients ask is why they should pay for an e-commerce marketplace website when they can use other online channels such as Facebook and YouTube. The advantages of e-commerce website design below answer that question:

A website is an effective tool to promote your brand, products and services to millions of potential customers on the internet. Your business won't need to spend heavily on marketing strategy, or on traditional advertising such as printing flyers, mailing, putting up signs, staff and premises. E-commerce web design also helps you streamline financial management by tracking revenue, profit and costs in detail and accurately.

Compared with other traditional methods, building an e-commerce website lets a business reach customers worldwide and also delivers a large volume of quality information to them.

2- Besides the cost of building the website, are there other fees?

Beyond the costs above, you probably wonder what else you pay for besides designing an e-commerce website. These are other expenses after the website is finished, such as website administration, content writing and website maintenance.

3- How long does it take to build and design an e-commerce website?

A common question when designing a website is how long it will take. It is hard to answer exactly, because completion time depends on many factors:

• Corporate website: This type of site introduces the company, its products, services, news and contact details. Design takes about 2 weeks from the date the contract is signed. That time can be shorter or longer depending on how the client and the design team communicate and approve the design.
• E-commerce website design: This type of site sells products and services online. Design time can be 3 months or more, as stated in the e-commerce website build report. If the site has many special functions or is customised to the client's requirements, it can take several months or even a year.
• Other websites: Besides the two types above, there are others such as personal sites, news sites and information sites. Design time for these can range from 1 week to 1 month after the contract is signed.

4- What information do clients need to provide when using the e-commerce web development plan?

One key to a professional, impressive website is giving the web design team full and accurate information and materials about the business:

• Company logo, as a JPG, Corel or Photoshop file.
• Slogan and images of the company's activities, products and services.
• Information about the business's field, history and mission.
• The products, services and partners the business wants to publish on the website.
