Any ecommerce website should perform the same function as a regular store – to grab the customer’s attention from the first second, that is, at first glance. It is the appearance that is the first evaluation criterion for the user. An attractive showcase is able to keep the customer’s attention. Immediately after the general design, the user will switch to products. The choice of a potential buyer depends on how well the shelf with goods is organized.
If the product can arouse interest, encourage its study, and then purchase, we can talk about the high-quality organization of the site. If the site looks too boring and has a cluttered shelf with goods, then most likely this will alienate the client and cause him negative associations.
An ecommerce website is very different from a traditional web site. What exactly says about these differences? Such points as are taken into account:
- SSL configuration;
- site structure;
- design;
- payment methods;
- basket organization;
- functions and capabilities for the client;
- technical support;
- availability of photo and video materials;
- page loading speed.
The last criterion is especially important in ecommerce development, since a user comes to these Internet sites in search of a product or service that he needs that can solve his problem and it is important that this happens as quickly as possible.
