There are many ways to develop an eCommerce store, from the simple and straightforward to the highly complex, highly tailored solutions. Someone with a basic understanding of WordPress and its plug-ins can easily set up an eCommerce store with minimal investment. However, for bigger solutions that require custom functionality and aesthetics, you will need the help of a professional custom eCommerce store development team.
Picking the right eCommerce solution
There are numerous options when it comes to the products that you can use to build the store. From choosing the right CMS platform, to picking the right hosting plan, theme template, payment options, and features, you can work on a budget or implement all the features you need to meet your business objectives.
Building a store based on data
You undoubtedly have some idea about your market. In fact, you probably have a lot of data relating to your users, their spending habits, and their shopping behavior. Getting into the nitty-gritty marketing details and then transferring them technically into the website can help increase the UX of the site and the profits it generates. For this you will need to work with a professional development team that can take all of this data and translate it into code in a cost-effective manner. An experienced team will know when to build a custom feature from scratch in order to achieve a result. A great developer will also know when to implement an existing extension or code to save both time and money.
Creating the optimal shopping experience
The custom eCommerce store development tools out there are truly impressive, but they will start to show issues at scale. From page loading speed to product categorization and advanced features, the cracks can start to show as the store grows. With a custom solution, however, the store will be built with performance in mind. After all, nothing skyrockets bounce rates like a slow loading website.
With a custom solution you will also be able to tailor every aspect of the experience. Should users need an account to buy, or can they go straight to checkout? Will the checkout have multiple shipping options, and will these shipping options affect pricing differently for different regions? How many payment options will you be able to offer? All of these questions will, when answered correctly, improve the shopping experience and encourage users to come back.
