eCommerce website development process

Step 1: Discovery

At the start of any eCommerce site design project, we’ll meet with you for a kick-off to discuss your goals for your new site and any preferences you have. During this meeting, we’ll confirm the scope of work to be completed and the project deliverables. This will then inform our recommendation of a CMS platform that best aligns with your needs.

Step 2: Requirements

Website requirements provide a blueprint for how your eCommerce website will be designed and built. Your project manager will prepare the requirements document based on your discussions. The document will detail every template and module your site will use and will guide the whole project. We’ll then create 2.2 AA accessible User Experience wireframes that show you the layout of pages on your new site. These will be prototyped so you can navigate through the structure of your eCommerce website design and identify any critical user journey issues.

Step 3: Design

Conversions are at the forefront of all of our design decisions. We will work with you to understand your preferences for your eCommerce website’s look and feel. We’ll then create a design that aligns with these preferences and meets accessibility requirements. Once approved, the design will be applied to the wireframes so you can see how your eCommerce site will look.

Step 4: Development

The requirements and the approved design are then given to the development team to build the site. Once the site is built, our expert testing team will complete technical, functional and device testing to ensure it’s top shelf on all platforms. You’ll then receive training to populate content and also have the opportunity to test the site. When you’re happy with it, the site will be ready to go live.

Frequently asked questions

What sets an eCommerce website design apart from other sites?

There are a number of unique factors that need to be taken into consideration when it comes to web design and eCommerce:

Business model evaluation: You need to understand which category your business model falls into, e.g. B2C or B2B (or a combination), and then strategise around the chosen model.
Product prioritisation: You may or may not want to list all your current products for sale. In most instances, it is prudent to prioritise your product listings to avoid site launch delays and allow for valuable live market feedback.
Inventory management: You need to determine the best inventory management strategy. This involves auditing your current inventory systems, workflow processes and then working out how to integrate this into your e-commerce solution seamlessly.
Strategic alignment: Ensure that your eCommerce strategy is in line with your digital marketing strategy.

What are the essential elements of an effective eCommerce website?

Generally speaking, these elements will ensure your customers have a satisfying shopping experience:

Mobile-responsive design: This means that users can easily access your site, no matter what device they’re using.
Search functionality: This makes it easy for customers to find specific products.
Wishlists and saved carts: This keeps potential customers engaged until they’re ready to convert.
Product reviews and ratings: This signals to customers that you’re transparent about your product’s quality, helping them make more informed decisions.
Secure payment: This ensures customers have a safe and secure purchasing experience.

How can I ensure my eCommerce platform is safe and secure?

Security is particularly important for eCommerce sites because you’re dealing with sensitive customer data and are vulnerable to fraudulent purchase attempts.

To help mitigate these risks, make sure you undertake the following security measures:

SSL certificates for encryption
Strong passwords
Regular security updates
Data backups
Payment gateway security

What our eCommerce web design clients are saying

Once the wonderful day arrived and we launched our new website, I'm pleased to say we showed a 25% increase in our sales for the same time period from the previous year, and we've now settled down on achieving an average monthly once a month gross of 20%. And I think it is just the beginning.
