Ecommerce Web Platforms

 

Maximise your sales, minimise abandonments, protect and sustain your search engine rankings with Holistic.

 

E-commerce is no longer the domain of Fortune 500 companies or very big corporations; even smaller sized and medium-sized businesses can open up e-commerce websites and conduct business online.

 

But how do you compete with big companies that comfortably spend thousands of pounds on advertising and promotion? A marvelous thing about the Internet is, that you easily can.

 

Running a successful e-commerce website involves:

 

  • Getting highly targeted traffic to your website
  • Converting this traffic into customers or clients

You can do the both without costing you an arm and a leg and still beat the mightiest of companies; optimised e-commerce web design helps you achieve that.

 

 

What is optimised e-commerce web design?

 

Optimised e-commerce web design is basically same as optimising a

normal, non-e-commerce website; the fundamental difference is

that the search engine crawlers should be able to crawl individual

product pages even if those pages are being generated

dynamically (the product names and descriptions are drawn from

a database and are displayed by a dynamic page).

 

A big misconception on the Internet is that for the search engine

crawlers to be able to crawl and index your web pages, your web pages

need to be static.  This is not so; provided you create your content

management system or configure it in such a manner that the URLs

generated are search engine friendly URLs even your dynamically

generated URLs can be easily indexed and ranked by most search

engines.

 

Optimised e-commerce web design involves creating an interface

highly suitable to both your human visitors and search engine crawlers.

Your human visitors should be able to access all the products and place

orders seamlessly and search engine crawlers should be able to

access the same details without encountering hurdles.

 

Optimised e-commerce web design from Holistic SEO

 

Unfortunately a majority of customers fail to carry out business transactions

because the e-commerce websites are not optimised, and the business

owners keep on wondering how come their e-commerce websites don't

generate as much business as they should.

 

You need to take into account the fact that most people shopping online

are not tech-savvy; all they want is buy the product and get done with it

and if a particular e-commerce website does not make them feel comfortable

they quickly either drop the idea of purchasing the item or worse, go to

another website that has been optimised.

 

In order to optimise your e-commerce website we will spend a considerable

amount of time figuring out what are the most important keywords that

can affect your targeted traffic from search engines.  We will also go through

your existing source code to check what factors are stopping the search

engine crawlers from properly indexing and ranking your individual

product pages.  The visible components of your website will also go through

comprehensive scrutiny to make sure that there are minimum distractions

when a prospective customer is on his or her way to purchasing an item from

your website. We will study the main entry and exit points and make changes

to make sure that people don't leave your website before they have placed an order.

 

Aside from this we may also alter your page titles, meta descriptions,

product descriptions, content arrangement, the HTML/CSS tags and the

generic content on your web pages just to make it more human and search

engine friendly.

 

Whether it is an existing website or a new web site we make it sure that

all the features of your e-commerce website collectively work together

to maximise traffic to your web site and conversion rate.
