E-commerce development

E-commerce is a special area of the economy, which includes trade and financial transactions carried out using computer networks, as well as business processes conducted through such transactions.

Recently, an increasing number of transactions are being carried out remotely, with the help of electronic devices. This is because electronic payments are more convenient and faster than cash payments. More and more people prefer to pay for purchases with electronic money. Modern economics is unthinkable without e-commerce and development. By the beginning of 2017, 10% of all expenses in the USA were in the form of online payments, and more than 60% were somehow dependent on electronic devices.e-commerce development

On the Statista service graph, you can see how the number of people making online purchases has increased in just a few years.

The price may be affected by factors such as:

1. Customer database. The size of the customer database affects which technology and programs we choose. A website for a little traffic will cost less. A website for a large flow of customers will be more expensive in terms of development and further support. In addition, the number of customers will also affect the size of the development team that will work on the project.

E-commerce website design and development

Design and layout are of great importance for increasing sales on e-commerce resources. Such user-friendly websites make a good first impression on new visitors.

Your website should have easy navigation with features such as link tracing and drop-down menu. You should add a basket that is always visible so that users know what exactly they put in the basket and how much they have to pay.

It is very important to take into account the colors, corporate identity and brand consistency in order to avoid confusion among your visitors. Using different colors for the same type of button can cause a drop in sales due to uncertainty. You have up to five seconds to attract the attention of visitors, otherwise, they can go to your competitors.
