![]() Tips for Successful Ecommerce Web DesignBy: Newpath web Branding The key takeaway in regards to branding is that every single page needs to reflect and reinforce your brand, whatever that is. Whether you're hip and trendy, old-fashioned and refined, or some Frankenstein of two disparate concepts, everything promoted needs to reflect that. This is equally important if something new is being added to the website. Say you're running an older-style website, but want to add a blog. The blog needs to not only reflect the existing website, but it needs to reflect your brand. If not, it won't ever be as successful as it could be. Logo This isn't just confined to ecommerce web design, but it is a huge aspect of it, in that your logo needs to be representative of the brand as a whole. The logo essentially acts as the shorthand for your brand, giving you much needed recall and recognition in the long-run. I'm sure you know what the big m, the tick and the apple represent, so work hard to develop your own concept, and fully embrace it across all platforms (but digitally, especially). Design Elements Every web designer wants to incorporate the cutting edge elements in their fields. But you need to make sure that the chosen design features align with your users' expectations, abilities and desires. It's not good enough to use an infinite scrolling web page, and to have a critical navigational footer at the bottom of the page. Choose one or the other, and embrace that. What does your user want? You better know if you want a successful website. Landing Pages Looking more closely at individual category pages, not just the home page, and making sure that they are well designed for easy navigation and maximum conversion is critical. Don't make people run down a rabbit hole trying to find the right product; make it easy for them to find what they want. Call to Actions Ensuring that there are visible and engaging call to actions present at all times mean that you can more successfully turn users into customers. Remember, ecommerce web design is about making money, but a lack of sales doesn't mean a lack of engagement. Get users to sign up to emails, to send through contact forms, whatever it takes for them to engage with your business, and you'll end up make more customers in the long run. Social Proof Not every brand can rely on customer feedback to drive more user interaction. But for those that can, take advantage of it. Maybe you've had satisfied customers, so you'd better put them on the website. It doesn't even need to be testimonials; Ecommerce is a Crowded Market Place With more and more businesses looking for brilliantly executed ecommerce web design in Melbourne, you simply can't afford to be sluggish in terms of analysing what your website needs and pushing hard to implement it.
