Posted by Carlsen Baker on June 2nd, 2017

Under e-commerce, you take part in online business. Since the number of people shopping online is on the rise, it has become necessary for companies to have a well-designed e-commerce website in order to attract customers to their site. Currently, e-commerce sites are leading the online world. These sites encourage customers to stay longer on the webpage and buy products. They incorporate the look and feel of a business website and also mirror the vision of the business.

If you are planning to start an online store, you will also need a well-designed e-commerce site that is expertly configured, has relevant, crisp content, conveys a clear and responsive client interface and also includes an easy to use shopping cart and checkout process.

Since designing an e-commerce site requires expertise and experience, many companies prefer to hire a reputed website design agency for this task. It is necessary to choose an agency that has a team of skilled and experienced designers who can design a site that will bring huge success to the business. If you are choosing a reliable agency, you can be assured that your project is in the safe hands of experts.

There are a few things to consider when choosing a website designing agency for your e-commerce site:

1. The first tip for finding a reliable team of designers is to ask for recommendations. If you don’t have recommendations from peers, it is best to shortlist few agency names from the internet and compare them.
2. Get in touch with each agency and ask questions about their experience, expertise, clients, existing and completed projects, rates, customer service and so on. Compare all factors and narrow down your list to 2-3 names.
3. Remember to ask as many questions as you can. A reputed agency will be more than willing to answer all your queries.
4. It is best to hire an agency that has been into business for a long time. 5-10 years into business will mean that they must have worked for clients from different industries.
   5. It helps to know if the agency will be handling the web design work in-house or it will be outsourcing it to another team in some other country.

When hiring a web design or SEO agency in Mumbai, it is very important to do some research and comparison shopping. Here are a few tips for e-commerce web design that work well:

1. Conversion optimization is very important. You will probably have several conversion types. For instance, a sale is one of the conversion types but other actions such as signing up for newsletter or creation of account can also be regarded as conversion.
2. The process of checkout and purchasing should be simple because if it takes too long, then people give up on purchasing.
3. The website needs to have interesting and interactive content. It should combine video, audio as well as advanced media so that the customers can be attracted.
