Best Practices to Follow for E-commerce Website Development

Every one of you is aware of the basic functionalities such as mobile friendly, easy checkout process, multiple payment gateways and so on. We know, you are not here for that. You might have read all that millions of times; ever since you have thought to hire dedicated developers for e-commerce store development. If not, any web developers will guide you about all those features and functionalities.

We will focus on small but important features of your ecommerce store that can help you enhance your user experience. Make your e-commerce store more preferable among the users to enhance the ROI.

1) Web Navigation

As you have an entire e-commerce store, you are not there just to sell one product or service, that's for sure. Even though you might think only some of the products are the best selling and most of the users prefer some of those products, that does not mean you can leave the other products unattended. 

Even with the smaller purchase rate, you should give them equal importance. Arrange all your web product navigation so that users can reach any products with minimal clicks. 

We can take Amazon as an example. How many people in Canada prefer to design their dorm room? Surely not every other person, right? But the easy web navigation functionality will allow the users to buy home appliances that can make their home and even room lively. This is the magic that proficient web developers can create through their skills and experience.

2) Search Functionality

If you are out there in a mall to buy sports shoes will you like to browse through every possible store section from baby clothes to make up or will you just like to buy shoes and leave the store? Most of us prefer the latter one. 

If we have something specific defined in our mind to buy; we will rather prefer to buy that product and leave. Search functionality in the e-commerce store helps the users to perform well-intended shopping. It allows the users to skip browsing and multiple navigations and buy the product with less effort.

3) Product Videos

Every e-commerce store adds product images that can lure customers to buy the products, but that is not the only option that can turn your visitors into buyers.

According to the study, 55% of the customers globally say they use online video while actually shopping in-store. It does not only offer product insight but can work as one of the impactful marketing strategies. This might not sound like an effective point, but, including videos of the product can surely bring effective results to the product sale.

4) Product FAQs

Most e-commerce stores fall under the category of B2C (Business to Customer). There is no rocket science in understanding the fact that your products or services should be based on user preferences. But as the user base can be large; there is no effective way to know the real concerns of your target audience. 

Product FAQs can be the one. Along with answering basic product-related questions, you can keep the FAQs option open for all. In other words, let your users answer the questions generated by other users. Along with providing a clear idea about product usage, this feature will enhance the trust factor. It can be another effective way of marketing.

5) Push Notification

Push notifications are not just a reminder but the most amazing way of marketing when it comes to mobile app development. You can utilize this one for web development as well. Along with keeping the users well informed about their order status, you can utilize the push notification to convert the users that you might miss out through the email campaigns. 

You can ask users to subscribe to your email campaign, keep them informed about the new launches, offer their order status and many more. It can help you stay connected with your target audience in an informal way as well. Sending a push notification saying, Dude!!! have you heard (mention new launch)? That sounds more appropriate than sending an email with such slang.
