Is Your Ecommerce Working for You?

Electronic commerce, or Ecommerce, essentially means the buying and selling of products and services using electronic systems like the Internet, along with other computer networks. The widespread use, and, of course, increased accessibility, of the net have led to huge innovations in things like electronics funds transfer, supply chain management, online marketing and transaction processing and automated data collection systems.

Few large businesses now could exist without an ecommerce store or ecommerce site.

Ecommerce has changed dramatically over the last 30 years. Until 1991, no company had an ecommerce store online, because this sort of electronic trading was illegal. While buying through an ecommerce store seems second nature to us now, it's only within the last 10 years that people have really associated the concept of electronic commerce with online trading, and with buying or selling via an ecommerce store or ecommerce site. And it's easy to forget that a large ecommerce site like Amazon only posted its first year of profits as recently as 2003.

These days, most people take ecommerce to mean buying something online using secure protocols and electronic payment services, via an ecommerce store or ecommerce site. Modern electronic commerce involves everything from ordering "digital" content for immediate consumption online, to ordering goods and services (from books and groceries to property) to "meta" services to facilitate other types of electronic commerce. Most consumer electronic commerce takes place through the World Wide Web, on an ecommerce site. If you do your banking online, you are using an ecommerce site.

Large corporations and financial institutions will effectively use an ecommerce store to exchange financial data online to help their business. So, love it or hate it, you can't afford to ignore ecommerce. Make no mistake, your ecommerce store or ecommerce site means big business for your organisation.

If you have an ecommerce site, e commerce design is one of the most important aspects of your ecommerce store. When you start to think about e commerce design, bear in mind that the product pages are the most important part of any ecommerce store.

So any e commerce design needs to be about directing ecommerce site visitors to these pages, and encouraging them to enter their credit card details. Good e commerce design will keep the product pages simple, but full of information.

So great e commerce design includes, for example, clear descriptive titles and maybe a photo, for all products, and all the information the shopper needs to make a purchase. This includes information like product availability, delivery times and so on. And, this may sound obvious, but it's amazing how often it's left out, e commerce design means have a prominently displayed "Buy" button as well. Shoppers who can't work out what they need to do to buy something from your ecommerce store will very quickly leave your site. You may also want to think about links to your site's guarantee policy, and, if possible, the manufacturer's warrant, as part of your e commerce design strategy. A prominently displayed guarantee policy, with a money-back offer, has been found to helpful in building trust. And, with e commerce perhaps more than any other kinds of transactions, building this trust is crucial in encouraging people to use your ecommerce site.
