Lately we have been advising on and designing e-commerce websites. It appears that shopping on the web is now firmly established and more companies are finding their website is an effective way not just to provide information on their products but to sell them.

Handles 4 Homes is a company that specialises in all kinds of door furniture and sell successfully over the internet using their full e-commerce website. We designed their site so that they can update it themselves when they receive new products or want to add special offers and promotions, so it’s a flexible tool for them to promote and sell their products.

If you want to sell using your website first consider your products and how best to organise them in product categories so customers can find what they are looking for. The menu system you put in place is vital to help customers find exactly what they want. Once they have found the product they want to buy you need to consider a system to allow payment. Also remember that you have to deliver their purchase and detail on your website how much delivery costs, this is vital information for your customers.

Selling online could help your business to reach new customers, if you already have a website it could do more than just provide information and contact details. Updating your products, adding promotions and special offers all help to keep customers coming back for more. Because your website is available all day and night to anyone in any part of the world, and increasingly on mobile devices, there is great potential for driving sales through your website.
