E-Commerce Web Sites

E-Commerce web sites are designed for people or companies that want to sell their products 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no line ups at the checkout, but rather an advanced method of mail order.

Graphrix Design realises that different people need different things when it comes to E-Commerce. There are a lot of hidden fields in the industry of E-Commerce which people just don't understand. Some considerations when thinking about a e-commerce website:

Do you have a good marketing plan before hand?
Will you be selling a lot of products?
What sort of features do you want your cart to have?
What will be your method of payment?
How will you process the payments?
How do you want to manage your listings?

Do you have a good marketing plan before hand?

Rushing into a e-commerce web site is something that should not be taken for granted. Many people do it and get no results, why?

They expect it will get massive results because it is on the Internet. WRONG way to think!!!!

You probably have lots of competitors online, from all parts of the country, selling similar products at competitive prices.

It will take time to get a listing in search engines, and there is no guarantee you will get a listing in a search engine.

Graphrix Design can guide you in some decision making idea's before we design your e-commerce web site.

Will you be selling a lot of products?

The amount of products you sell effects the style of cart you should have.

Selling a massive amount of products effects the design of the web site. This is because you will need more features to make those products accessible to the viewers.

A smaller amount of products allows the design of the web site to be more constructive.

What sort of features do you want your cart to have?

People usually have a good idea on the sorts of features they would like in their shopping cart.

Not every cart is the same and all differ in someway or another. There are literally thousands of different carts you can have and most offer different features that other carts do not.

What will be your method of payment?

People that purchase products over the Internet are usually uncomfortable with companies they don't know. There has to be a level of trust, communication, and protection.

Shopping carts deliver messages to your email address, or leave their details on your website, they are unsure if the details are safe. People do NOT want their credit card details given to anyone.

There is a lot of deception on the Internet

Extra charges are involved with protecting this information to make your company trustworthy.

Different methods of payment require different methods of protection.

Your choices are usually:

Mail Orders - Standard Method
Phone Orders - Direct Method
Online Order Form - Fastest Method

Phone back service

Online Credit Card Form - Fast Un-secure
Online Credit Card Form - Secure
PayPal - Secure, cheap and direct - American
Direct Banking (manual) - Costly, Secure, Direct
Direct Banking (automatic) - Very Costly, Secure, Direct

How will you process the payments?

There are a few different methods of processing your payments.

The end result is usually the same, it goes straight into the bank, but how?

There are costs in all methods of banking the payments you receive. Manual, automatic, direct deposit.

Banks do NOT deal directly with websites, they use a gateway payment method, which involves the services of a 3rd party.

Payment gateways can be expansive and serious thought should be put into your method of payment.

How do you want to manage your listings?

Some people do not have the time or patience to update material in shopping carts.

Graphrix Design is happy to update the information in your shopping cart, or show you how to do it yourself.

It really does depend upon the sort of shopping cart you decide to use, on the level of management of your listings.
