Ecommerce Website Design and Development

What is ecommerce?


Ecommerce is the process of purchasing goods and services over the internet, effectively creating a webstore. Many businesses consider themselves to be e-retailers just because they have a shopping cart on their website. Here at Solutionists we don't just offer a shopping cart, but a full best practise ecommerce service, using design, layout, functionality and expert industry knowlede to build you an ecommerce website that attracts vistors, and converts them from browsers into buyers.


Why should I branch into ecommerce?


Today’s consumers are rapidly becoming dependent on online technology for just about everything. Customers want their favourite brands to have a functional ecommerce website, and they are beginning expect it. Having a functional webstore has been proven not only to generate sales online, but in store as well, as people who are able to fully research your product online are more likely to go into your shop and purchase. Ecommerce stores also have significantly lower overheads and setup costs than physical stores, and in some of our clients’ cases, have turned out to be one of their top performing stores. When ecommerce web design is done well, it becomes a powerful tool that provides your customers with an impressive user experience. They are not limited to purchasing online alone, but can also research desired products, learn about your latest offers, comparison shop, buy and redeem vouchers, read reviews, browse catalgoues and lookbooks, register for your database, receive email campaigns and interact with your brand.


Why should I choose Solutionists for my webstore?


Solutionists are e-retail specialists who offer comprehensive and flexible webstore package options. Our online solutions can synergise the customer experience, influence your customers purchase decisions, increase traffic and conversion rates, reduce shopping cart abandonment, strengthen your branding and positioning and cut down on time/cost inefficiencies by integrating with your in-store systems, making them a valuable investment for your business.

We build the majority of our ecommerce websites using "module based" packages, making it easy for us to develop a webstore that fits perfectly with your business as you can pick and choose the modules as you go. Modules are pre-built units of functionality that add different things to your website, such as an advanced zoom tool, an interactive lookbook, an advanced promotions module, an email campaign tool, or a secure payment gateway. We can develop as much custom work as you require, but building your website based off these module based packages ensures you a tried and tested, cost effective foundation for your webstore.

We have built successful ecommerce websites for clients such as Barkers, NZ Herald, Overland Footwear, James & August, Huffer, Ruby Boutique, Burnsco Marine, and Nicholas Jermyn. Working with retail leaders such as these means that we must be at the top of the table in the ecommerce industry, and we work hard to maintain this. We are constantly upgrading our products and services, and closely follow best practise ecommerce standards as they develop, in order to provide you with the best website possible.
