2. Choose the Right Template

Squarespace is another Choose the Right fairly well-known website building platform.

Squarespace has a range of different website templates including an ecommerce site template. Consider using an out of the box template, to give your site a professional look.

Building a site with Squarespace can go very quickly. The one thing I didn’t like about the builder is that I couldn’t SEO my pages properly.

 

With a five star rating, Squarespace  france email list should definitely be one of the top platforms to keep in mind when you build your own ecommerce website.

 

1.4 Shopify

 

Shopify has more than 800,000 online stores with $63 billion worth of sales.

 

The platform is easy to use, has great designs and integrates seamlessly with your Instagram which is a huge plus if you are a business that is rocking Instagram marketing.

Shopify also offers amazing  find out how we flexibility, as it not only has great templates, but gives you access to the code so you can make customisations to suit your needs, not easily but it can be done.

 

Shopify has a great support system, that includes a 24-hour support team working to help you whenever you need it.

 

According to a review posted by WebsiteToolTester, “Shopify is not only an easy way to launch and manage your online store. It’s geared towards supporting store owners in crucial aspects like opening additional  germany cell number channels (e.g. Amazon, eBay or Facebook), offering customer support tools (e.g. live chat) or by taking care of the technical hassles.”

 

Shopify’s only drawback is that it is not free and costs can add up quickly, also it has low customisation but is good for ecommerce-only or Instagram-only brands.

2. Choose the Right Template

 

If you don’t have access to a graphic designer you should do some research and find a pre-designed template from whichever platform you decide to use to build your ecommerce website. The templates are there to make it easier for you to create a beautiful website.

 

We custom design all our websites from scratch for each client, but there’s no shame in using a template, just be aware that some templates add a lot to the load speed of the site, which Google SEO doesn’t love.

 

3. Navigation and Menu

 

Your menu navigation is critical and the first place I start when designing a website.

 

What do you offer? What are your services? How can we clearly display this?
