How E-Commerce Website Design Services Work at TIA

1. Initial Consultation

To jumpstart your e-commerce website design process, start by sending us an email or submit a contact form. As soon as we receive this, we’ll reach out to you to schedule a discovery call. This way, we can get a clear picture of what your creative vision is for your online store. We want to know what your goals are in terms of target audience, functionality, and aesthetics—and then we’ll start the meticulous planning to help you get there. At The Influence Agency, we’ll combine your vision with our creative expertise to achieve exceptional results.

2. E-Commerce Website Design

Our team of Toronto-based e-commerce web designers will integrate your creative insight with their unique approach in order to put together a series of mood board mock-ups for you to review. Your feedback at this point will bring us a step closer to curating the most ideal design for your online store. We will only proceed to the e-commerce web development phase of the project when you give us your seal of approval on every aspect of the proposed design.

3. Site Development on Chosen E-Commerce Platform

After receiving the green light from you on all elements of the design, our team will move on to the next steps of the process. On your chosen e-commerce platform, The Influence Agency’s design and web development experts will carefully build your store to make sure that every element stands strong.

4. E-Commerce Website Optimization

Not only will we ensure that your e-commerce website has a visually appealing style, but we’ll also take care of its optimization for a unique user experience. This is a vital factor in the success of your online store. With our website optimization services, we’ll look after key aspects such as search engine optimization, conversion rate and site speed optimization, as well as your site’s responsiveness across all devices such as desktops, mobiles, and tablets.

5. Quality Assurance Testing

Another reason why we’re a top e-commerce website design company is that we always guarantee quality. After designing and optimizing your company’s online store, it’s part of our process to go through user-testing to ensure that your customers’ visit to your site is smooth-sailing. We’ll check for bugs and technical issues to ensure a high-quality e-commerce shopping experience.

6. E-Commerce Website Launch & Hosting

It’s launch time and we’re right behind you. Before and after your e-commerce website goes live, you can count on our 24/7 email support team to assist you with any concerns you might have along the way.

Our support for your e-commerce website doesn’t have to stop after it’s launched. Through our digital marketing services, we can monitor user behaviour and trends to strengthen your business’ strategies. Every e-commerce website is established with the intention to grow continuously and make it big. Our team’s experts can help you get closer to that goal.

Designing for B2C and B2B E-Commerce Sites

B2C (Business-to-Consumer)

e-commerce sites are all about selling directly to individual consumers. Typically, these customers purchase products or services for personal use.

B2B (Business-to-Business)

e-commerce sites involve one business selling to another business. The companies who purchase from B2B sites might then offer these products or services to their individual customers.

The main difference between B2C and B2B is the target audience. This is important to keep in mind when designing an e-commerce website. Customers landing on your page should get a clear idea of your business model. B2C and B2B sites usually have a big difference in their tone and presentation.

With individuals being the sole decision-makers, converting B2C site customers usually happens at a quicker pace. Because of this, dynamic and flashy graphics are used for e-commerce site design to create a sense of urgency and evoke an “impulse buying” response.

With B2B sites, a larger number of people and different levels of the organization will need to be convinced before making a purchase. Using high-level copy and creating an educational digital experience works best for B2B e-commerce web designs.

Requirements of a High-Performing
E-Commerce Website

You don’t just want your e-commerce website design to look great, you need to make sure that the entire e-commerce experience feels like a walk in the park for your customers. Here’s what that entails:

Fast Loading Times

Studies show that even a one-second delay in web page load time can result in 11% fewer page views and a 7% loss in conversions. We won’t let that happen. These are the requirements we’ll take care of to ensure a high-performing e-commerce website.

The majority of online customers use their phones to navigate online stores and so the experience should be tailored to this device as well. A high-performing website is a key factor in conversion rates. Our team will help you create optimal front-end delivery.

Seamless Navigation

The last thing you want potential customers to feel when they end up on your e-commerce site is that they’re completely lost. Designing a heading that can easily direct people through the appropriate sales channels highly contributes to conversions. An intelligent structure will deliver an ideal e-commerce website experience.

Security

With an increasing amount of security threats online, you have to make customers feel that they are safe spending money on your website.
