Chicago website design company specializing in the development of sites implementing ecommerce

eCommerce


If you have something to sell, consider selling it online.


One sure thing about the web is that a lot of people use it. There are loads of potential customers out there and a web site is simply the most cost-effective way to find them. No matter what your product is, there are people looking for it right now.

Good ecommerce web site development should let you run specials easily. It should be simple to add and remove products, change prices and adjust shipping rates. A smart site will track your inventory and visitors and, most important, be easy for your customers to use.

Simplified checkout process

After 6 years of building sites for businesses in Chicago, ecommerce web site design has become a specialty. We have rebuilt and perfected our online shopping cart to keep it simple. It has three pages: the shopping cart, the checkout, and the thank you. If we could simplify it beyond this, we would. Not everyone fully appreciates the importance of a good shopping cart, but the easier the checkout process, the higher your sales

Our ecommerce package is called Mighty-Cart and it’s seamlessly connected to Mighty-Site®, so updating your products is as easy as changing your pages. This keeps you in control and your costs down to a minimum.

Since we created Mighty-Cart, we can customize the tools to suit your business. Often, the following features are included:

Shipping options

Your shipping policy is up to you, and whatever that policy is, we can build it into the shopping cart. Mighty-Cart can connect with FedEx, UPS and USPS to pull in actual shipping costs, based on the distance to the shipping address and the weight of the products in the cart. Want to set your own shipping prices? Not a problem. We can even let your visitors ship products in their cart to several different addresses.

Associated products

Give your visitors ideas for what else they might like.  Shoppers should feel like they're discovering something new, and your site should help them do it.

Promotional codes

Setup a promotion code or coupon. It takes only a minute and applies the discount in the cart and during checkout. Use this coupon for seasonal promotions and to beat your online rivals.  This feature is especially useful if you're marketing your ecommerce site offline with other advertising, since it lets you offer specials and track the effectiveness of the promotion.

Other possibilities

Selling products is great. But your site doesn’t have to stop there.

  • Upsell related products in the customer's shopping cart – here’s your chance to sell that warranty or gift wrap option.
  • Offer discounts to visitors who buy in volume.
  • Collect shoppers’ email addresses, and let them know when new products are available.
  • Create reports on what products are most, and least, popular – make decisions based on how your site is doing.
