 Are you looking for an online shop? Well, we have a number of options depending on the size and scale of your requirements. We have spent lots and lots of our time and money researching the best available shopping software on the market today and we have listened to what our clients have to say and the features they require...
There are so many shopping cart systems on the market today that people tend to get confuseded about what is really needed in an online store. Here are the MUST HAVE facilities you will need to be successful online.
Be sure your store has scalability options - not just for lots and lots of products but also make sure that the backend interface is able to deliver results FAST! The interface should be able to print invoices and have the ability to change the status of multiple orders at any one time. We have found this facility a must have feature for busy online shops.
Make sure your shop records all your potential client search results, this is a goldmine, see exactly what people are searching for on your website then if you haven’t got the product/s buyers are looking for, then get 'em! Let your website do the HARD work, let it do the market research for you!
Your shop should have end user experience, navigation should be very easy, pages should load almost instantly, the search facility should be instant (on the fly) and include pictures, and it’s proven that online buyers shop better through visual aid.
- Detailed Product Inventory:
We have found with many clients that complex stock control is a must, right down to the attribute level. You need stock control to work with sizes and colours of products not just the product as a whole.
Most of the shop software on the market seem to forget that email marketing plays a huge role in a successful online shop, integrating a newsletter system with your shop is a complex task. Our state of the art shop software includes a news system already integrated.
- Choose a Web Based Store, NOT Standalone:
There are lots of online shops that are standalone (software housed on your computer), however this can cause problems because the stock control does not update on the fly! It only updates when you launch the software on your computer. Also it's best to have an online web based store so you can do all your store administration on multiple computers anywhere where there is an internet connection.
Above are some of the requirements our clients found essential in their success with their online stores. There are many more features we have included in our Smart Cart software, and we are constantly evolving the Smart Cart, so if you find that our software does not have a feature you require simply let us know and we will implement whatever you wish. That's why we're 'Smart' - WE LISTEN TO OUR CLIENTS AND CREATE SMART WEBSITES.
