This
may seem a bit obvious, but one important, yet overlooked question
in the e-commerce game is..."Are your web users becoming customers?" It
is vital to get your products online, market them to the search
engines and get people browsing through your online catalog. Equally
important is making sure your site is built in such a way that
it sells your product or provides a service.
There are a couple of aspects to this. First of all, your web
site has to be very easy to use. Users must be able to hit the
site and quickly navigate to the product or services they are looking
for. Simple things like page layout download speeds and good product
information must be considered. Second, your site has to instill
confidence and trust in the user. Does it look good and operate
smoothly? Does the design give the appearance of a solid, trustworthy
company? And of course, you must make sure it is clear that you
have a secure server so they will feel nice and comfy entering
their credit card number! Third, plain old marketing! The copy
in your site, product images, and suggestion of related products:
these are all things that contribute to turning a web site user
into a web site client.
