An <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/business-terms-in-design-for-e-commerce-sales-basics\/\">e-commerce<\/a> website handles financial transactions made over the Internet. If you buy products or services online, you deal with e-commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Business strategists, marketers, and designers try to create a perfect place for their audience to shop. In the pursuit of an ideal solution, they tend to overdo it and fail to make online shopping enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Working on any e-commerce website, you should remember that people don\u2019t ask for the impossible; people want their online shopping to be fast, easy, and safe. To make this happen, your home page should be engaging, your search should be precise, your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/web-design-basic-types-of-images-web-content\/\">visuals<\/a> should be high-quality, your payment system should be reliable, and your UX design should be intuitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Now, let\u2019s look closer at each of these five elements that are must-haves for any e-commerce website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9081\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/design-for-web-conversion-rate-tubik-blog-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"design for web conversion rate-tubik-blog\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/design-for-web-conversion-rate-tubik-blog-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/design-for-web-conversion-rate-tubik-blog-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/design-for-web-conversion-rate-tubik-blog-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/design-for-web-conversion-rate-tubik-blog-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/design-for-web-conversion-rate-tubik-blog.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Home Page<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Owners of brick-and-mortar shops pay solid attention to the window dressing. They style their storefronts to attract people walking by and make them come in and take a look. A website\u2019s <\/span>home page<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> should have the same effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The <\/span>home page<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> is the start of a customer\u2019s journey; that\u2019s why it should be encouraging. Don\u2019t expect your website visitors to know what your company does. So use the home page to tell people what kinds of products and services you deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Since a home page is often a customer\u2019s starting point, make sure that your navigation is nice and clear. People should be able to reach all important sections of your website from the home page and search for items without sifting through categories. In the article <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/home-sweet-home-strategies-of-home-page-design\/\">Home Sweet Home. Strategies of Home Page Design<\/a> we\u2019ve listed all basic elements that should be placed on a <\/span>home page<span style=\"color: #333333;\">; make sure you don\u2019t miss any of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Don\u2019t save the best for later. Put your best offers on the home page. If you provide free shipping or a free trial, let people know about it from the very beginning. Motivate users and make them want to explore more of your products and services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7971\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/home_page_design_tubik.png\" alt=\"home page design tubik\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/home_page_design_tubik.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/home_page_design_tubik-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/home_page_design_tubik-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/home_page_design_tubik-150x113.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Search<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The proper <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/how-to-design-search\/\">site search<\/a> is incredibly important for an e-commerce business. People who use the search box are more likely to convert into leads and customers because they are shopping with intent. If the search box doesn\u2019t work properly, visitors won\u2019t find the information they are looking for and will leave the website unsatisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Here are some ideas to help you improve your visitors\u2019 site search experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Draw attention to the search box<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Make the search box big enough to fit most queries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Let visitors see search results in a grid or list format<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Provide a Sort By option (e.g. sort by price, relevance, rating, availability)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Show the status: in stock, out of stock, or back in stock soon<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Add a Quick View option to let visitors see more information without leaving the search page<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Display search suggestions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Allow users to search within a particular section<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Let people search using product codes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Let people click for more item images without leaving the search page<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Make sure your search returns relevant results for singular, plural, and misspelled words<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Use a search autocomplete feature to save shoppers\u2019 time<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Offer a list of related items to help people discover more of your products or services<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Analyze user behavior on the website to keep improving the user experience.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8717\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/web_site_flowers_shop_tubik_studio.png\" alt=\"website flowers shop tubik_studio\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/web_site_flowers_shop_tubik_studio.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/web_site_flowers_shop_tubik_studio-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/web_site_flowers_shop_tubik_studio-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/web_site_flowers_shop_tubik_studio-150x113.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Visuals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/web-design-basic-types-of-images-web-content\/\">picture<\/a> is worth a thousand words. And this is true when it comes to online shops because the demonstration is everything for e-commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Brick-and-mortar shops have the biggest edge over online shops and this edge lies in the visual aspect. In stores, people can view, touch, and try products, which is impossible when shopping online. That\u2019s why e-commerce business owners should make product demonstrations as realistic as possible. And here is how they can do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">High-quality photos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Let your customers get a better understanding of your products. Include several HD photos made from different angles, highlight any important or unique details, and don\u2019t forget to include photos of your products taken in realistic environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Demonstration videos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">One of the largest e-commerce websites, ASOS, adds clothing try-on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/design-for-web-promotional-video-benefits-and-pitfalls\/\">videos<\/a> in order to make their customers\u2019 choices easy and enjoyable. This type of content not only lets customers imagine how clothing is going to look <\/span>on<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> them but also shows more details of products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Video reviews and instructions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Simple review and instruction videos are extremely popular on YouTube. <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/animoto.com\/blog\/business\/small-business-video-infographic\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">According to Animoto<\/a>, 73% of respondents are more likely to make a purchase after watching a video that explains a product or service. So why are you still waiting to make videos a part of your website content?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">360-degree view<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Did you know that <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/10.1086\/598614?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents\" rel=\"nofollow\">touching things makes people want them<\/a>? Of course, your customers can\u2019t physically touch the products through the screen, but you can get customers closer to them with a 360-degree product view. The all-around perspective gives your site visitors the feeling of first-hand experience as they explore products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">User-generated content<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yotpo.com\/blog\/photos-increase-conversion-rate\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">77 percent of consumers<\/a> prefer to see photos taken by customers rather than photos taken by professional photographers. Encourage your clients to share their experience with your products or services on social media, monitor your brand\u2019s mentions, and share this content on your website to help your potential clients to make a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Augmented and Virtual Reality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This type of content is still pretty new in e-commerce, but it has great potential in providing a high-quality customer experience. As an example, the <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/ikea-place\/id1279244498?l=uk&amp;mt=8\" rel=\"nofollow\">IKEA Place<\/a> app allows users to actually see the pieces of furniture in their houses and decide if they are going to fit in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8166\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/gourmet_website_interactions_tubik.gif\" alt=\"gourmet website interactions tubik\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Payment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Now that your site visitors have picked the item they want to buy, it\u2019s time to place the order and proceed to payment. And at this stage, you want to make sure that your website provides a trusted payment environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is a must for any e-commerce website. It\u2019s used to encrypt the data between your server and users\u2019 computers or smartphones, so the payment information will be protected from any external interference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">When the website is secured by an SSL certificate, HTTPS will appear in its URL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">In addition to secure payments, the existence of the SSL certificate will also help your website to be favored by search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">UX Design<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">People won\u2019t engage with your home page, use your search box, click on HD product photos, or make a purchase unless the user experience design is user-friendly. <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/ux-design-for-e-commerce-principles-and-strategies\/\">UX design for e-commerce<\/a> is incredibly important on the way to more purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">First, put your user in focus. Bear in mind the goals your site visitors have and think of how you can fulfill these goals. Second, prioritize functionality above all else. Going for design trends such as parallax scrolling or ghost buttons don\u2019t always make sense. These kinds of design trends may increase load time, be overlooked, or distract attention. If design solutions hurt functionality, you\u2019d better not implement them. Amazon and eBay are not the fanciest when it comes to design; however, it doesn\u2019t prevent them from being leaders among e-commerce platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Just because you\u2019re selling electronics, doesn\u2019t mean that all your customers are tech-savvy. That\u2019s why UX design should be intuitive. Don\u2019t challenge your site visitors to deal with your complicated design solutions. They\u2019ll be irritated with not only your website but also with your brand and will leave it for good. That\u2019s why designers work so hard to make UX so simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">According to the <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/baymard.com\/blog\/bhphoto-mobile-experience\" rel=\"nofollow\">Baymard Institute<\/a>, a lot of e-commerce sites still have problems with mobile UX.
