What makes a good Ecommerce website?
When hiring a developer for an ecommerce website, please ensure that the following checkpoints are met, as they define what a good ecommerce website should look like and do.
Two features define an excellent Ecommerce website, one is user-facing, and the other one is business-facing. Let’s start with the user-facing aspects first.
The website should be secure and protected since users are expected to share their financial information, and it’s of utmost importance.
The website should have a secure payment gateway integrated with clearly marked prices for the products and services. The website should be fast and easily accessible to the user.
The ecommerce website should list products and services and preferably have images and media files of the products and a suitable description.
The website should have marked contact information, terms of use, privacy policy, and FAQs to help the users.
On the backend, i.e. the business-facing front, it’s essential for the business owners to be able to effectively manage their ecommerce business operations smoothly without the external dependency on the developer or a person with technical expertise.
It should be easy for a person with no technical knowledge to add and edit product listings on the ecommerce site.
The business owners should be provided with dashboards to measure vital stats such as website traffic, clicks, sales, order details, etc.
Certain Emails should be automatically triggered if someone makes a purchase, subscribes, or writes to customer care.
The store owners should integrate their ecommerce details with their CRM, Financial management apps, and other apps that are key to running business processes.
What are the tools available for Ecommerce websites?
With the growing demand for ecommerce websites, there are multiple tools and platforms available that facilitate e-commerce websites with ease. Some of these platforms are Shopify, Woocommerce, Squarespace, Wix, etc.
However, major companies like Amazon, Ebay, and Etsy allow sellers to sell online without having the trouble to go through the creation of ecommerce websites.
How much does it cost to hire a Freelance eCommerce developer?
The costs of hiring an ecommerce developer is dependent on the scope of the work, and the scale of work defines the costs of developing an ecommerce website. There are 3 significant ways in which developers charge - Fixed price based on the scope of the project, hourly costs,
If your ecommerce store is being built on Shopify, or WooCommerce, or any other no-code platforms that enable the creation of Ecommerce websites, then the associated costs will be lesser as compared to hiring a web developer who can develop from scratch.
The developer costs will depend on the developer's experience and expertise and additional charges in case additional developers and resources are needed.
The scope of the work required defines the costs the developer will charge. For example, optimizing an existing ecommerce website for speed will cost lower than hiring a developer to custom change the theme or to redesign a website or Webflow designing.
Cost of additional tools, APIs, hosting costs, etc., are regular recurring costs and should be accounted for while budgeting to build a website.
Maintenance costs and costs for improvements should be accounted for while creating a budget to build an ecommerce website.
