E retail has literally quadrupled over the past few years. Its' astounding growth has given stupendous rise to the need for excellent ecommerce website design, which enables the business owners to communicate and sell effectively to its customers.

According to consumer surveys, users said they can find the best values and deals online. Such reports also mention with concrete data, that users prefer buying in an e store than purchasing in a physical shop. From the perspective of the business owner, it is less expensive and more profitable to run an e store. The overhead costs are almost negligible. Most importantly, an ecommerce website such as eBay shops, gives you an unparalleled advantage over a physical shop. You can gain international exposure and reach out to a global audience. Even if you are a locally based business, user can just log-in and make purchases from home.

Most importantly, every business, whether offline or online is looking for success and a decent ROI. A poor ecommerce website design will result in a loss of sales, new visitors and ROI. Hence, you have to ensure that your customers have a pleasant shopping experience.

Bond Media team suggests certain 'must-have's' imperative for the success of your online venture.

A. Intelligent Shopping Cart System
A virtual shopping cart is an essential element of any online store. Visitors with a single-click are able to add the desired items for purchase to the cart. An intelligent shopping cart must be able to store the items added to the cart, while the customer is browsing other products on the site. Incase, the customer logs-off the website to scour for better deals, the shopping cart should be able to remember the items store, incase he/she returns again. This feature is a great way to encourage repeat visitors.

B. Seamless Lay-out & Navigation
An effective lay out and navigation provides a solid foundation for the success of an ecommerce website. When a page is clear and clutter-free, the users are able to find information easily. To achieve the above, focus on the following tips. You may also discuss these with your design consultant. - The middle left-area and the central area are the most visible. Position your important tabs and featured products here.
- Describe the product in crisp, concise words
- The shopping cart must be clearly visible.
- Get the visitor anywhere within your site in 1 or 2 click
- Provide and order form button with every product
- Check in & check out Points

Most importantly, the website must be well-organized.

C. Product Display
Usually, ecommerce websites have to deal multiple product display issues. This increases the complexity of websites. A seasoned designer would employ personalization technologies to determine the selection of products to offer to a visitor. There are a number of websites using this particular technology, like, Amazon.com. Popular websites use statistics and past orders to guess what a visitor might want and display offers intuitively to its visitor or customer. It even helps to suggest best-seller products in a particular category to its new users. This feature aids the user to buy something he/she likes in minimal time.

Customer Interactivity
Ecommerce web design that offers this feature is usually most frequented by visitors. This can be incorporated by allowing your customers/users to save their wish list, while browsing other products on the website. Provide product related stories, reviews etc. You may even launch a website related forum or discussion board to enhance your brand popularity. For example, a website selling baby gifts, may also have a forum for women to discuss and share opinions on child care and parenting. An excellent way to also boost sales.

Search Engine Optimised Estore

Search engine optimisation is an effective way to gain visibility, drive traffic, and boost sales. It would be a better decision to hire a company which provides web design services along with Online Marketing Services, such as search engine optimisation. You may ask the web design company to prepare customised plan for your project. There are a couple of other things to remember. Please see below:

1. Security Authentication
2. Company Information & Profile
3. Testimonials
4. Company News or Press Release (if any)
5. Integrated with various Payment Modules (reliable & secure mode of online payment)
6. Privacy Policy
7. Delivery Methods (clearly explained)

An ideal ecommerce website design should be easy to use and manage, for both owner and users. Right from selecting a product, adding it to shopping cart, setting up account, making payments, choosing delivery options to checking out, the entire process must be seamless. If there are any failures in the functionality of the website or any of the given features are lacking, the customer would quit your website mid-way and opt for another ecommerce website with efficient shopping system.
