5 Great E-Commerce Sites
Today e-commerce and online businesses are the way forward from web design manchester. In recent years online sales have accounted for $146.4 billion in the United States alone and the trend looks set to continue. It has allowed countless individuals get started in business and in many cases can remove a large part of the setup cost.
There are several reasons why e-commerce with an seo agency is better than the traditional delivery platform for businesses; It’s always open, you don’t necessarily need a shop front or physical place of business, consumers can quickly and easily find what they want and at the best price, you can provide the consumer with as much or as little content as you see fit including text, pictures and videos.
Not all business are suited to e-commerce, but with each innovation more and more are.
Below are some examples of great and inspirational e-commerce websites, along with a few points of what’s great about them.
1) Amazon (amazon.co.uk)
Simple, not graphic intensive, a very complex search facility and a huge catalogue of products, if it’s an everyday product and you can’t find it on Amazon I’d be surprised. However some older users can find the screen “cluttered”
2) Play.com (play.com)
An excellent example of e-commerce done right, optional user accounts, colourful and eye-catching and all offer are easy to see and get to.
3) Game (game.co.uk)
What I really like about Game’s website is the innovative menu system, which is achievable since they only cater for one market, but it allows customers to very quickly drill down using different criteria, which is important for the video game market as not all consumers will know what they want, take for example the consumer who browses the store looking at all the different boxes until he decides on one or the parent/guardian purchasing a game as a gift, they may have no idea where to start, but using this they can quickly select Xbox 360 then Top Sellers, Genre or Special Offers.
4) Ikea (ikea.com/gb/en/)
Sleek and clean the Ikea website allows customers to view pretty much their entire range, including dimensions and alternatives then either reserve for store collection or delivery. A comprehensive help system and the variations of rooms and furniture that they suggest makes Ikea a great home furnishings website.
5) ASOS
An innovative and pleasant splash screen for the home and each root category along with a great drop down menu shows the calibre of this website. Optional user accounts and in-depth product detail ensures that the consume has a enjoyable experience.
