These days we do pretty much everything online – and that includes shopping. Therefore, there’s never been a better time to have an eCommerce store.

If you are selling anything, whether that be luxury watches, tiling tools, or something in between – you need to hop onboard the eCommerce website train.

Website Design eCommerce

Web design is crucial when crafting an eCommerce website. First-rate eCommerce web design is all about using the right colours, fonts, images, words, and graphics to persuade visitors to make a purchase. Your eCommerce website and store design should capture the attention of potential customers. As well as provide an outstanding user experience, and present your brand in the best possible light.

eCommerce Website Design

You never get another chance to make a first impression, so make it count the first time round!

Much like a brick-and-mortar shop, if you stepped in for the first time and saw a messy, disorganised shop floor, you would most likely form a negative opinion and choose to leave. The same goes for online stores. Imagine if you landed on a webpage that had a sloppy layout with low-quality images and hard to read fonts, what would your opinion be?

Studies have shown that you have a grand total of 50 milliseconds to make a good first impression when someone visits your website. Despite the time spent on writing great copy text, sourcing or developing exceptional products and providing excellent customer service, research has shown that three-quarters of users judge a company’s credibility based on its website design and more than 80 per cent of first impressions are related to design.

Remember:

  • 75% of users admit to making judgements about a company’s credibility based on the design of their website.
  • 94% of B2B customers search the web before making a purchase decision
  • 85% of website users’ first impressions are design-related.

Design can also greatly impact revenue and profitability beyond first impressions. For example, slight changes in colour and text of a ‘Buy Now’ button can have a big influence on conversion rates. These types of small, subtle changes may only boost a conversion rate by 1 or 2 per cent. Yet, those small changes add up to a lot over the course of a year. A 2% increase in £100,000 in annual revenue is £2,000 per year. Small improvements in conversion rates can pay a big dividend over time

Furthermore, great design can help you connect with customers on a deeper level in the long run. The most obvious example of this would be Amazon’s (the largest eCommerce company in the world) logo. It appears on their website, advertising material, packaging, and a whole host of other materials. Maintaining a consistent design across a company’s social media channels, website, advertising campaigns and physical products can help build and maintain product and brand awareness among consumers, this ultimately boots repeat sales.
