Evaluating E-Commerce Platforms?
There are a number of established e-commerce platforms for Hong Kong, hosted and self-hosted, that companies are using around the world to run successful online stores. If you are starting a new e-commerce project, or planning to revamp your existing store, you are likely in the middle of making a decision on which technology you should use.
Goal oriented
e-commerce web design
Our e-commerce website design approach focuses on simplifying the customer journey. This means helping customers find what they are looking for quickly, with minimal effort. In order to achieve this, we map customer journey and design a website structure required to make browsing and buying products or services easy.
We then iterate through page interface designs, with business objectives considered at every step.
Scalable e-commerce
website development
At the start of any new ecommerce web project we’ll conduct an assessment of business requirements, and map out an implementation plan for technical delivery. We’ll recommend shopping cart software to suit the business need, and ensure that an adequate inventory management system is in place to provide for logistical and operational needs.
When selecting a payment gateway we lean towards delivering a great customer experience, but we will always consider operational requirements of the business.
Digital marketing
for e-commerce platforms
Whether launching a new e-commerce venture or upgrading an existing e-commerce platform, the most important thing post-launch is to attract customers to the website.
Search Engine Marketing for E-Commerce Websites
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising can be a very effective strategy to gain both customer insights, and attract visitors to websites. We research search trends and target keywords that are likely to help the right type of people find our client’s products or services.
Search Engine Optimisation for E-Commerce Websites
Similar to PPC, we research search trends and carefully map keywords to a website’s pages. We then conduct a combination of onsite and offsite optimisation to help the website rank organically for searches that are relevant to our client's and their competitors' products or services.
Analytics Consultancy and E-Commerce Website Optimisation
Every ecommerce platform should be continuously monitored and optimised. We’re always seeking ways to make things clearer and easier for customers to shop and complete transactions. Through the process of reviewing, testing, and optimising, sales conversion rates can be improved over time.
