Earlier
we have discussed about why to have an ecommerce
website and about choosing the best
ecommerce design, now we will discuss
about, what are the things to be kept in mind before choosing an ecommerce development company.
How
to Select the Best ecommerce development
company?
Your Requirements and Vision: Convey your requirements and vision to your development company and try to find out
how much they understand your business because a clear understanding of your
business model will help them in reflecting the same in your ecommerce website design. Such as how
many pages you require, how many of them would be dynamic or static, what
functionality you require in your ecommerce
website, payment gateway integration
and many more.
Experience: A well experienced company with ecommerce website development can provide
you great output with simple and minimum inputs, the experience that the
company should hold is about 2 to 3 years and must have handled similar
ecommerce projects earlier. So that you can cross check the work.
Online Marketing Strategies: Just by providing a very good and highly
functional ecommerce website dose not means that it will start getting
prospective customers, so it is very important from business point of view that
the website development company that
you have hired should be specialist in creating, implementing and analyzing
internet marketing strategies, so that your website can serve the purpose for
what it is been created.
Customer Support: once your ecommerce website is online and you started earning form it, it
dint mean that you don’t have to take care of it further, as there are a lot of
changes which occur on product or service selling site, like uploading new
products and services, changing or upgrading price list and many more, so you
need a development company that can
give you online support for a long term for proper functionality of your
website.
Web Designing Company's Portfolio: This section of your development or
designing company will show how good they were with their prior customers, as
you can have a look of their work and relationship with current or prior
clients.
Work strategies: The best way to save time and money both is
to ask your development company to provide you a time and goal sheet which will
cover that what part of project will take how much time, say the designing of
your ecommerce website will take 10
days then it should be done by that time, this will help you in tracking the
project and will look after that there are no delays.
Reputation: Before handing over project to your ecommerce Development Company make sure
to do a quick research about the company as how good they are in the market,
this can be done by asking them for reference work check of their previous or
current clients
Cost Effective: Just hiring the best ecommerce designing or development company will not serve the
purpose, but you should hire a company that provide you the best ecommerce development solutions with
maximum (ROI) Returns on investments. It should be very cost effective.
Programming Languages: Ask the company that what platform they are
opting to create your ecommerce website,
my personal suggestions would be to opt for a company that offers wide range of
platforms so that you can chose the one you think is the best, as at headwaywebsolutions we provide a Variety of platforms for
developing your ecommerce website like wordpress, Joomla, oscommerce, opencart,
megento and custome shopping cart (PHP, cakePHP, CI)
