E-Commerce

With over 15 years experience of using, administering, developing and maintaining E-Commerce websites,  I can help with all aspects of your online shop project, including:

  • Selecting a suitable solution (e.g. 100% bespoke, off the shelf or hosted)
  • Advice, guidance and help setting up online payment gateways (e.g. PayPal, Sagepay, Worldpay etc)
  • Design and layout to optimise and simplify the shopping experience
  • Incorporating and utilising social media tools and techniques
  • Search Engine Optimisation and other techniques to drive paying customers to your site and keep them returning

Below are 2 example e-commerce case studies, outlining my recommended solution for each.

Case Study One

This online retailer doesn’t want to spend too much on site development up front, doesn’t mind relatively higher ongoing running costs but would like a professional looking site ready to sell online quickly and simply.

ShopifyFor these requirements, an online shop with Shopify is ideal. It is free to set up and costs from approx £20 per month for up to 100 individual products, including site hosting. Other features / advantages include:

  • Very well established solution with some very big names as existing customers
  • Fully customisable design / layout templates
  • Comprehensive and intuitive secure online administration system (to run the shop)
  • Integration with all popular online payment gateways
  • Use your own domain name (e.g. http://www.myonlineshop.co.uk)

For a very reasonable initial set up cost, I can set up, advise on and train you to run your own online Shopify shop – all within a matter of a few days! For more information, call me on 07557 955212 or send me an email.

Case Study Two

This online retailer would like a bespoke, unique e-commerce website with minimal running costs and has a higher initial development budget with a longer time frame to realise their vision.

PrestashopFor these requirements, I would recommend a Prestashop website. Prestashop is free to use and can be customised and modified to do almost anything in terms of features / functionality and layout / design. Other features / advantages include:

  • Minimal running costs (you only pay for hosting)
  • Over 310 built in features (click here to see them all!)
  • Fully customisable design / layout templates
  • Comprehensive and intuitive secure online administration system (to run the shop)
  • Integration with all popular online payment gateways
