Ecommerce Web Site Design

If you intend to trade online and actually sell goods, products or services directly from your Website, you will require an ECommerce enabled site, complete with an online catalogue, shopping basket, and secure online ordering facilities.

Package options available.

What is eCommerce?

ECommerce is the name used to embrace all the business activities involved in the act of selling or trading goods and services directly online.

It covers everything from online shopping catologues and other advertising aids, to directly selling goods, products or services to customers through a variety of online methods.

Whether you run an exclusive business-to-business operation or sell goods or services directly to the public, you will gain maximum benefit from your website by using dedicated ECommerce Software.

eCommerce Software

ECommerce software comes in a variety of shapes, styles and prices, ranging from around £100 to over £200,000. Whilst the high-end products are good, the majority of successful online ECommerce websites have been built using software which costs between £150 to £400, which is a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.

Effective ECommerce software requires the following minimum specifications:

Shopping Catalogue: To display goods, products or services. Capable of displaying thousands of product lines if necessary.
Shopping Basket or Cart: To calculate and record goods being selected for purchase by customers.
VAT + Delivery Costs: Handle complex VAT + Delivery issues on local, international and worldwide levels.
Payment Methods: Provide alternative payment methods, including Credit Cards.
Match Existing Website: Able to blend with and match your existing or proposed website design.

Purchasing the right software is just the start of the ECommerce journey. The software has to be configured to the specific requirements of your business, whilst the pages and shopping catalogue have to be designed and built to reflect your trading pattern and range of products or services.

B2B or Retail?

This is where WebLink4u come in. Following a discussion about your business and online trading plans, we will suggest the most appropriate ECommerce software to match your needs.

For example, if you are providing a Business-to-Business service only to registered clients on monthly terms, your requirements are completely different to a trader who is selling directly to the public and requires instant payment by credit card.

Cars, Houses & Services

And, if you are providing a service or promoting goods which cannot be sold directly online, like cars or houses, you have a completely different set of requirements for your website display compared to these other business types.

Talk First....Buy Later!

As the whole issue of ECommerce Shopping Solutions is complex and directly related to each customer's specific needs, WebLink4u prefers to talk to each client first before deciding on a particular solution or course of action.

We therefore recommend that clients contact us by telephone on 01443 791905 or send an Email to info@weblink4u.com, before making a decision to buy a particular product. It is far easier and more cost effective to match software to a client, than try and adapt a client to inappropriate software.
