AngelBiz Jan 29, 2014 5:12 PM (in response to Diana Perk)I would also add speed in the list. If your website takes any longer than few seconds to load the customers will move on very quickly.

Diana Perk Jan 30, 2014 12:24 AM (in response to AngelBiz)Hi AngelBiz,
Thanks For your contribution.Agree with your views that website loading should be fast as 40% of folks will abandon a web page if it takes more than three seconds to load.Most of the folks are impatient and don't have enough time to wait for low performance website to load.

seoservicepro Feb 4, 2014 5:45 PM (in response to Diana Perk)That it be easy for the client to customize should be on the list.
SEO-Friendly = HTML eCommerce Sites instead of dynamic
That it is easy to integrate with Quickbooks and other bookkeeping software is another.

Moderator Rebecca Apr 12, 2014 1:29 PM (in response to nandakumarrkk)You make a great point, nandakumarrkk! Not only should a website be fast, it needs to be easily navigable and give you the information you are looking for in a short period of time. As Diana Perk and others have mentioned, if a site takes too long to load, or an average person can not find what they are looking for easily, they will move on to a competitor site where they can find what they are looking for.

emaderam Apr 20, 2014 4:47 AM (in response to Diana Perk)I'm an expert on design. I think the home page is very important to draw people in. The social media buttons should not be large. You don't really want people to leave your website and go to Twitter. You want them to stay here and buy something. Showcase a couple of your goods in the center of the page in a slider (rotating photos). Tease visitors and make them want to see come in and see more of what you have to offer.

aronmatt3 Apr 21, 2014 4:14 AM (in response to Diana Perk)For designing an e-commerce website the most important thing is easy navigation and order completion in less steps without any hassle. I would say a categorized ecommerce website appeal more to an individual than anything else.

Re: What is essential for design of ecommerce website?
pstonier Apr 24, 2014 10:39 AM (in response to Diana Perk)There are a few things that can go into an ecommerce site that haven't yet been mentioned and a lot it depends on what you're selling.
You'll want to use a system that will store the proper metadata about your product. This is typically formatted at microdata. This helps the search engines learn more about your product in a format that they want, therefore resulting in better rankings and more accurate results.
About microdata - Webmaster Tools Help
You'll want reviews as well. I like using WooCommerce, the WordPress plugin, for most eCommerce sites because it formats the reviews with microdata as well, so that you'll see the stars of the reviews in the Google search results Rich-snippets - Reviews - Webmaster Tools Help
If it's a digital product with multiple plan options, you'll want to have a pricing table.
For example: Power BI Pricing Table
For more of a retail sales like clothing or computer, you'll want to think about how the filtering process happens. For example, something like on NewEgg.com where you can filter your options by price, screen size, etc.
Magento seems to be the most capable system to do this out-of-box from my experience.
For products that have variations in size or color, it's usually best to keep them as one product and have them choose the options as they add the product to the cart.
You'll also want to think about how you're handling inventory. Most systems will handle manual entry of your inventory, but some more complex ones can tie into your POS system to sync up with what's in your store.
In addition to this stuff, it's important to make sure that you're processing payments in a PCI Compliant way. This mostly involves making sure that you are using a SSL certificate, forcing HTTPS at the checkout process and not storing card information where you have access to it. Your payment gateway will take care of the rest usually.
Hope this helps.
