Websites

E-commerce entrepreneurs have many things to consider when having their retail, wholesale or affiliate website built and designed. An e-commerce storefront, like its brick and mortar real-world counterpart, is the physical representation of the company. As such, it must be an accurate reflection of the image the entrepreneur would like customers to see.

E-Commerce Web Development Management Pro Shares Tricks of the Trade Bill Snowman owns a full service website design, print media and graphic design company. His company, CreateSource.com, caters to a variety of individuals, small businesses, corporations and other organizations. When asked to identify the top mistakes these entities make when having a website built, Bill had no trouble creating a list. In fact, he could have mentioned several more!

After paring the list down to the most critical, absolute worst mistakes e-commerce entrepreneurs can make with their website – the types of mistakes that cost businesses money, negatively impact their reputation, or send customers running in the other direction – Snowman shared the Top 3 E-Commerce Website Mistakes.

ecommerce_02

Accessibility and Usability Fall to the Wayside in Favor of “Cool” Effects

This is probably the biggest mistake made in all types of web design, Snowman points out, but it is rampant in e-commerce web design.

He notes that the “Web 2.0 crowd” love to use Ajax, Javascript, Flash and other widgets to make their site look cool. However, visitors with Java or Flash disabled lose not only aesthetics, but functionality.

Snowman recommends that e-commerce entrepreneurs disable all Flash, Javascript, images and even CSS style sheets to test their website. It might not be pretty, but if the forms work and the text is legible, it’s functional. If it’s not, it needs to be fixed so all visitors have access. Don’t cut customers off in order to have a prettier website.

E-Commerce Businesses Fail to Answer One Simple Question

Snowman regularly asks clients this simple question, but most don’t know the answer to, “Why does your website exist?” He hears a variety of responses, including:

  • To advertise the business
  • To increase the company’s profits
  • To sell products or services

These are all results, Snowman says, not reasons. A website exists for one reason, he claims: to solve the problems of its visitors. The problem could be anything; the visitor is bored, they are price shopping, they need advice, or they want to buy a product. The key, he says, lies in doing market research to understand what customers want, then being able to give it to them.

Does a Home Builder Paint the Walls Before Pouring the Foundation?

Although it is easier to picture the finished website than it is to imagine all of the boring, technical components, Snowman notes that the actual design is the least important aspect of creating an e-commerce website.

He likens the website building process to new home construction. “You draw up plans based on the new household’s needs,” he says, “…build the foundation, erect a solid frame, add plumbing and electrical, and then you think about decorating.”

For those who disagree, Snowman points to Craigslist.org as a perfect example. It is popular because it works. It’s not pretty, but it is built well.

Accessible, Functional E-Commerce Web Development Key

Snowman points to Zarifas.com as an example of a custom e-commerce website with a simple interface, allowing the entrepreneur to perform most maintenance and other functions on their own.

Before commissioning any professional to develop an e-commerce website, check references, ask to see an online portfolio, and have a contract or work order in writing.

Organizations receive several benefits from the Events Calendar plugin:
• Produce events that website visitors can view on a mobile device like a tablet (“WordPress.org. Copyright Date Unknown.”).

• Generate a map so that website visitors can find the location of the event (“Muldoon. September 30, 2014, 2004-2016.”)
• Create events that can be viewed in list form (“WordPress.org. Copyright Date Unknown.”). Events that are placed in a list can be retained by some website visitors (“Maria Konnikova. December 2, 2013.”).

“Conclusion”

Entities should contact Solutions Resource if they need to have the Events Calendar plugin installed on their WordPress website. That way, Solutions Resource can place the plugin on their website at a cost that is financially feasible for the customer or potential client.

“Introduction”

People and organizations visit the internet to perform actions, such as purchasing a product (“Miletsky. 2010.”). Those website visitors, however, are very busy consumers. Therefore, entities must test the amount of time that it takes for their website to download onto a computer or mobile device (“Rosemary. September 26, 2015, 8:29 AM-9:38 AM.”).

“Test The Downloading Process of A Webpage”

Organizations should test the download time for their website. Jim Rosemary of NewTechWeb points out that webpages should download onto a device screen in a time period of five seconds or less (“September 26, 2015, 8:29 AM-9:38 AM.”). Otherwise consumers can leave a website if it takes a long time to load because they do not have a sufficient amount of time to spend on the internet (“Administrator of Website Magazine. 03.21.2014.”).

“Implications For Solutions Resource

Solutions Resource can test the amount of time it takes for a webpage to download. That way, its markets can retain internet visitors on their website. Lastly, firms should visit Solutions Resource’s website at https://solutionsresource.com/ to learn about the enterprise’s web development services.

“Facts About WordPress”

WordPress is a popular tool that organizations use to create their website. Many entities create their websites with WordPress because WordPress offers features, such as plugins and themes, that firms can use to enhance the appearance of their website and increase the number of operations it can perform (“Biglione. February 25, 2014.”). Enterprises also create websites with WordPress because they can use it to control the content that is posted on their website (“Rampton. January 9, 2015.”). Lastly, these facts may serve as reasons for why the number of websites that were created with WordPress during the year of 2014 was 74,652,825 (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015.”).

“Plugins At No Financial Cost”

Small businesses can find a variety of plugins on WordPress that they do not have to pay for. Right now, the number of plugins that organizations can find on WordPress is 38, 674 (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015.”). One example of a plugin includes a document that an entity can use to book an appointment over the internet (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015.”). Organizations should have plugins on their WordPress website because it increases the amount of operations, such as protecting a firm’s website from spam, that an entity’s WordPress website can perform (“WordPress.org. Copyright Date Unknown.”).

“Website Themes”

WordPress provides small businesses with thousands of themes that they can use for their WordPress website (“Rampton. January 9, 2015.”). Not only does WordPress have a lot of themes but some of those themes are available for firms to use at no financial cost. Businesses should have a theme on their website because it allows them to come up with a look for their website that attracts their audience. This is especially important for retailers like grocery stores who are preparing for the busy holiday seasons, such as Christmas, and need a holiday theme on their website that attracts their markets (“Rampton. January 9, 2015.”). In this way, those retailers can increase the number of website visitors who visit their website and hopefully increase sales at their store.

“Firms Can Determine When Content Should Be Posted To A WordPress Website”

Enterprises can determine when they want their information posted on their WordPress website. For example, firms can set a time during the day for when their content should be published on their WordPress website. Organizations should take this action because it allows them to have their information posted on their WordPress website at a time of the day when the majority of their clients and potential customers are on the internet. That way, website visitors can view the firm’s content if they are on the internet and are visiting the firm’s website on the day and time of the day that the enterprise posts its information on (“Rampton. January 9, 2015.”). If a firm takes this action, then it can see an increase in the number of website visitors who visit their website and view their content.

“Implications For Solutions Resource”

As a company that creates websites, Solutions Resource is aware of the electronic tools like WordPress that entities use to produce websites. Solutions Resource can then use a technology, such as WordPress, to create a website that drives website visitors to an organization’s website (“Prive. October 18 2012, 12:25 PM.”). Additionally, Solutions Resource can select WordPress themes and plugins that entities should have on their WordPress website as well as setting a time and day for when an organization’s content should be posted on their website (“Rampton. January 9, 2015.”). That way, the enterprise can have content on their website that appeals to their markets and allows them to perform a function, such as booking an appointment over the internet (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015.”). Lastly, firms should visit Solutions Resource’s website at https://solutionsresource.com/ and contact the company at info@solutionsresource.com to learn about the enterprise’s web development services and contact the business if they have any questions.

“Introduction”
Small businesses must have a website so that they can provide their markets with information about why they should conduct business with them (“Leinbach-Reyhle. September 29, 2014.”). Not all of the technologies, such as JavaScript and Python, however, that are used to create websites are simple for all firms to use. This means that some companies need a technology for their website that does not require them to have programming experience in order to make changes to their website. One technology that those enterprises can use to create their websites without knowing any languages, which includes HTML, is WordPress (“Biglione. February 25, 2014”).

“Cost Effective”
Small businesses should have their websites created in WordPress because they do not have to spend a large sum of money to have it built with this technology. This means that businesses will not incur a large cash outflow that they would otherwise incur if they hired a web design professional to create their website with technologies, such as HTML or CSS (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015.”). Similarly, firms will not incur a large cash outflow that they would otherwise incur if they needed to host their website on a domain name (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015”). Finally, enterprises can create a website in WordPress without incuring any licensing fees (“Witzky. Copyright Date Unknown.”).

 

“Ease of Making Updates”

Small businesses can easily place the information that they need to place on a WordPress website. Although anyone can place content on a website that is created with a technology program, such as Dreamweaver or Brackets, businesses and people have to be knowledgeable with coding and HTML in order to place this content on a website (“WPresstic Team. July 28, 2015”). If, however, a business creates a website in WordPress, then they do not have to have a background in HTML or coding in order to place the information that they need to place on a WordPress website (“Biglione. February 25, 2014.”). Finally, businesses can easily place an audio file, video, or image on a WordPress website (“Rampton. January 09, 2015.”).

“Mobile Device Friendly”
WordPress websites work on non personal computer devices like smartphones (“Biglione. February 25, 2014.”). WordPress also offers plugins, such as iThemes Mobile, that allow a firm’s website to be displayed on mobile devices like Blackberries and Androids (“Nick Schäferhoff. September 29, 2014.”). Moreover, there are layouts with the word, responsive, in them, that exist in WordPress. If a business selects a responsive WordPress layout for their website, then that layout will work on a mobile device like an Android. Lastly, firms can change the way that their WordPress website displays so that the menus and pages on their WordPress website display effectively on a mobile device (“LinchPinSEO. July 9, 2015.”).

 

“Implications for Solutions Resource”
Solutions Resource understands the challenges that small businesses face when finding a technology that they can use to create a website. Therefore, the company utilizes technologies, such as WordPress, to create a website for those markets. That way, the firm can create a website with a technology that allows those customers and potential clients to make updates to their websites without needing to be knowledgeable with languages, such as HTML and CSS. Finally, customers and potential clients should visit Solutions Resource’s website at https://solutionsresource.com/ to learn about the company’s web development services and contact the firm if they have questions.

“Introduction”

Many people enjoy purchasing food and beverage items, such as pumpkin and apple flavored food and beverage items, that companies offer during the fall season.  Therefore, grocery stores must offer food and beverage items, which includes caramel apple biscotti, that are popular during the autumn season (“First We Feast By. August 31, 2015.”).  This means that grocery stores need to place information about these items in the form of images, texts, links, and graphics on their website.  That way, website visitors can receive information about these items and decide whether or not they want to purchase those goods.

“Food Items That Grocery Stores Should Place On Their Website”

There are a variety of food and beverage items that retailers should place on their website that may not be offered by all of their competitors.  Some examples of food items that they should place on their website include pumpkin pie flavored frozen yogurt and pumpkin pie pizzas (“Blank. September 2013.”).  Other types of products that grocery stores should place on their website for the fall season include butternut squash and pecans.  Finally, retailers should place cranberries and pot pies on their website during the fall season (“Gelski. 12/21/2012.”).

“Importance of Placing Autumn Food Items On A Website”

Food and beverage retailers should place autumn food and beverage items, such as pumpkin and apple flavored products, on their website for a variety of reasons.  For example, many people enjoy purchasing and consuming these goods at that time of year (“Whitten. Friday, 14 Aug 2015, 4:05 PM ET.”).  In 2012, sales for autumn food items, which includes pumpkin flavored goods, were $307 million dollars.  Moreover, the percentage for pumpkin product sales between the months of September and November of 2012 was 70% (“Riberi. 10-1-2013.”).  Lastly, these merchants can receive new customers and website visitors on their website that other competing entities might not be able to attract.

“Provide Information About Autumn Products and Recipes On Website”

Grocery stores should provide information about the autumn food and beverage items that they place on their website.  For example, these retailers should place a link next to the product that takes people to the website of the distributor for where the product came from.  Another piece of information that those companies should place on their website includes links to recipes that website visitors could use to prepare food items with those seasonal products.  That way, those retailers could motivate these website visitors to purchase their autumn products and stay on their website for a long time.  Lastly, those firms should provide website visitors with tips that they can follow for storing these items for a long period of time.

“Implications for Solutions Resource”

As a web design and development firm, Solutions Resource should research the trends that exist in fall food and beverage items if it creates websites for grocery stores.  That way, the firm can find images and content of seasonal autumn products that their audience should have on their website.  Additionally, Solutions Resource can place this content on its markets’ websites so that the business can produce a website that promotes those retailers’ products.  Finally, customers and potential clients should visit Solutions Resource’s website at https://solutionsresource.com/ to learn about the company’s web development services and contact the firm if they have questions.

“Facts About Web Development Companies”

There are many companies that create websites for organizations. Web development firms create websites for entities who want their website visitors to learn about them. Moreover, web development organizations use technologies, such as Java and PHP, to create websites for enterprises (“Martin. June 21, 2015”). Not all of the websites that those businesses create, however, can be used by all organizations because web design firms might create websites with programming languages that could challenge a firm in terms of its ability to update a website. Finally, the amount of time that a web development agency spends creating a website may not be favorable for all organizations.
 
 

“Evaluate Speed Of Web Development Projects”

Businesses must evaluate the amount of time that it takes a web development to create their website. For example, many web development firms do not stay in business for 24 hours on a given business day (“Google. 2015”). Therefore, organizations often have to wait until the next business days for their web development firms to work on or complete their website. This situation, however, can be problematic for businesses who rely on their website for receiving new customers and leads. As a result of this situation, enterprises need to find a web development agency who can create a website for them in a quick and efficient manner.

“Evaluate Technologies That Organizations Use To Create A Website”

Entities must evaluate the technologies that a web development agency uses to build a website. Web development companies use programming languages, such as Java or PHP, to create websites (“Martin. June 21, 2015”). Not every entity or person in an entity, however, is skilled with the programming languages that web development firms use to create a website. This situation can create challenges for some enterprises because if someone in the firm wants to update a website but cannot perform an activity like writing the code for the formatting language that is necessary for making that change, then the organization may not be able to update their website.

“Conclusion”

Solutions Resource is prepared to create websites that are tailored to the needs of its markets. In the present time, the firm ensures that any technology that it uses to create a website is easy for its audience to understand. Additionally, the technologies that the firm uses must allow its clients to make changes to their websites effectively. Furthermore, Solutions Resource can work on a client’s website at any time of the day to ensure that an organization has a website immediately. Lastly, organizations should visit Solutions Resource’s webpage at https://solutionsresource.com/ to learn about the web design and development services that the company offers.

Determine The Purchasing Options That Will Be Provided To Customers Who Pay For A Product https://solutionsresource.com/determine-the-purchasing-options-that-will-be-provided-to-customers-who-pay-for-a-product/ Wed, 08 Jul 2015 07:27:25 +0000 https://solutionsresource.com/?p=757 Businesses must determine how people will pay for the products that they sell on their website because there are a variety of payment methods that website visitors can take advantage of when they purchase a good from an organization.

Businesses must determine how people will pay for the products that they sell on their website because there are a variety of payment methods that website visitors can take advantage of when they purchase a good from an organization. Some of these payment methods include BrainTree, Pay With Amazon, Stripe, and PayPal (“Dunn. May 21, 2015.”).

As a result of these payment options, enterprises need to design their webpages in a manner that allows people to purchase a product using these payment options. Additionally, businesses need to make sure that these payment options are placed in their transaction webpages where website visitors pay for the products that the firm sells on its website. That way, a person or organization can select that payment method if they want to use it to purchase a good from an entity. In conclusion to this information, firms need to think about the type of business that they are when they design an effective purchasing process for consumers. Enterprises need to think about this information because a payment option that works well on a business to consumer website may not be suitable for an organization that sells products to businesses and nonprofit organizations (“Dunn. May 21, 2015.”).

When selecting a payment option that consumers can take advantage of for purchasing a good, organizations should have Pay With Amazon as a payment option that consumers can take advantage of. Pay With Amazon should be a payment option that organizations should have on their purchasing webpage because it is a payment option that a lot of people use (“Dunn. May 21, 2015.”). Many people use Pay With Amazon because if they have an Amazon Payments Account, then they do not have to spend an unnecessary amount of time placing payment information, such as their card numbers, on a company’s website. Businesses should also have Pay With Amazon as a payment option that people can take advantage of because Pay With Amazon allows people to use an account that they have at their bank as a way to pay for a product that they buy online. Finally, if a person purchased a product from Amazon.com’s website with their Visa or MasterCard, then that individual or organization can log into their Amazon.com account and select the card that they want to use to pay for a product that they buy from another organization without having to place that card information in the firm’s website (“Amazon.com, Inc. 1996-2015.”).

Businesses should also place Stripe as a payment option that people can take advantage of for purchasing goods from their website. A lot of people use Stripe because they are attracted by the interface that exists for this payment option. Moreover, if someone purchases a product using a Stripe account, then they can use Stripe to increase the amount of money that they have for their checking account by taking money out of one of their bank accounts, such as a savings account, and placing it in their checking account (“Dunn. May 21, 2015.”). In conclusion to this information, if someone owned a business, then Stripe analyzes money that a person’s company receives or spends. In this way, Stripe can determine whether or not the transaction occurred as a result of someone breaking into a person’s business account and using that account to purchase goods that the firm did not authorize. That way, enterprises can receive a high level of protection against people and organizations who could break into their accounts and send fraudulent checks to their accounts or use their accounts to purchase products that an entity did not authorize (“Stripe. Copyright Date Unknown.”).

 

As a company that develops and designs websites for entities, such as small businesses, e-commerce firms, and nonprofit organizations, Solutions Resource must be aware about the payment options that people can take advantage of for purchasing a good from a firm’s website. That way, the enterprise can inform its clients and potential customers about the payment options that they should have on their website so that a person or entity can purchase products from their website. In this way, website visitors will not have to abandon the purchasing process and leave the firm’s website as a result of having a limited number of purchasing options that they can take advantage of for purchasing a product from a business. This is an important piece of information for Solutions Resource to analyze because customers and potential clients pay a lot of money to have the firm provide them with recommendations for improving the purchasing webpages that website visitors travel to to purchase a product from their website. If Solutions Resource does not provide businesses with enough purchasing options for their transaction webpages, then those organizations could lose website visitors and decide not to conduct business with Solutions Resource. As a result of this situation, Solutions Resource could lose the reputation that it looks to establish with its clients and potential customers in terms of being a company that provides high quality web development and design services to those markets. Therefore, Solutions Resource must research the various payment options that people and organizations can take advantage of for purchasing products online so that the firm can provide organizations with recommendations that are effective for improving the transaction webpages that exist on their website. Any entity that has questions about the web design and development services that Solutions Resource offers should contact the business at info@solutionsresource.com to learn about the services that the firm offers.
