Selling online, or e-commerce is a full time job. Long gone are the days you could set up an online shop and make millions sitting in your front room after you come home from your day job. These days, competition is high and margins are tight. But we can help you gain a competitive edge. We’ve been building and running e-commerce sites for a decade now, so we can help you get a real good understanding of what you will be up against before you start. We have found that the best performing online shops are those selling unique products. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t compete if you are selling the same things as someone else.
e-commerce websites
An e-commerce website should be able to do online all the things a High Street shop can do offline.
and a few other things too:
- full front to back shopping cart solutions
- easy to use content management system for setting up and modifying products.
- product specific search engine optimisation.
- upselling and cross selling configuration
- product reviews and user feedback
