Strategic eCommerce Development Process for Canadian Brands

At Magenta Design, the journey of our eCommerce website design process commences with an inclusive strategy phase. During this phase, our team collaborates intimately with clients with a view to pinpoint the purpose and goals of their website. Following that, our designers step into fashion a custom design that doesn’t just align seamlessly with the client’s brand, but also resonates with their target audience.

Subsequently, our developers take the reins, transforming the design into a living, breathing online shopping website. They also ensure that the online store is optimized for search engines and mobile devices. Finally, our certified digital marketing strategists stand ready to lend a hand with ongoing marketing efforts. Their expertise can effectively drive more traffic to the online store website, thereby escalating conversion rates even further.

Designing a successful eCommerce Website involves all 12 experts

In today’s digital AI Era world, creating a successful online marketing engine requires collaboration among multiple disciplinary experts. If you believe that a successful eCommerce website design relies solely on a designer or a developer, we encourage you to consider the following:

You have a product you want to sell. How much do you want to sell it for? Do you know the difference between listing the product at $29.99 vs. $39.99 would mean selling 30,000 units a month vs. 1,000 units a month?

When it comes to selling online, market research is extremely important. We have seen a large number of start-ups, investing over $50,000 in inventory and still have them in storage collecting dust after 3 years.

Let’s be honest, with dropshipping such as Aliexpress, finding a source to supply products has never been easier. However, for a consumer, this also means that they have more choices than ever.

What makes a consumer purchase from your store vs a competing store who offers a similar/same product?

Without seeing and touching the quality of a product, what gives consumers the confidence to pull out their credit card and make a payment?

It really comes down to branding, creditability and social proof.

As you can see, without proper online promotion planning and having the right expertise every step along the way, you only hold one piece of the puzzle.

In our experience of building over 500 online shopping websites in the past 7 years, we believe it takes proper research, strategic planning and well-crafted execution to build a successful eCommerce Store.

What Does Your E-Commerce Website Design Include?

Get real-time business performance insights to make the right decisions faster. Having a clear and organized idea of inventory helps prevent loss from theft, returns, and spoilage. It also reduces overall inventory costs, optimizes fulfillment, and paves the way for better customer service.

Seamlessly track stock counts, set up automated reminders to place orders or to manufacture more products when the count hits a certain number, and update inventory numbers when you receive a new shipment. Never let customers order out of stock items again and stay on top of inventory so you can avoid finding yourself with too little or too much stock on hand at any given time.

Nobody has time to sit around and wait four seconds for a page to load. Users expect things to load instantly, every time and everywhere. When the website loads slowly, it hurts conversions. For that reason, we ensure your website loads fast on any device and on every page. Optimized for Core Web Vitals to improve your Google ranking.

Your customers can pay for their orders and receive refunds in their local currency. The customer’s local currency can be chosen from their location or from a currency selector.

Our website has integrated with dozens of payment gateways, but also offers its own which is powered by Stripe. If you choose to use this you will not incur any transaction fees plus you will benefit from lower credit card fees. It also doesn’t require a merchant account to use.

If you have an E-Commerce store, you will be dealing with sensitive customer information including credit card details, plus impatient customers. This means your site needs to be fast, secure and always online. One of the big advantages of a hosted solution is the reliability it provides. Shopify will take care of all server maintenance and upgrades to keep your store and shopping cart available at all times and ensure that pages load quickly.

SSL certificates can be enabled for your store to encrypt all data and pass it through a secure connection, plus Shopify takes care of PCI compliance for you (required when you deal with credit cards).

With mobile visits to websites now higher than desktop, it’s essential, not optional, to have a mobile-optimized site. Luckily our websites are responsive and the platform includes a built-in mobile E-Commerce-shopping cart, meaning your store looks great on all devices and your customers can shop freely wherever they are.

In addition, there are free iPhone and Android apps that let you manage your store on the go should you wish to.

Our websites will be able to integrate with over 1500 apps. You can add reviews, loyalty programs, customer wish lists, get in-depth analytics, print labels and packing slips, integrate with accounting software, shipping programs and social media sites, not to mention all the marketing apps available. With over 1,500 to choose from, whatever you want to do it’s likely there’ll be an app for it. Note that whilst many are free, over half are charged for.

Once your store is set up, it is important to make it search engine friendly. SEO is important for ensuring the web store is easily accessible by shoppers searching for your products. Shopify improves the ability to design landing pages for the campaigns, which is a big distinguishing factor from other E-Commerce platforms. It also supports SEO parameters like custom title tags and meta tags. We implement advanced on-page SEO, including schema markup for products and optimized meta tags, ensuring your Canadian business stands out in search results.

What happens if a visitor to your store places a product in their shopping basket but leaves without buying it? According to statistics, over two-thirds of potential customers will do this. Shopify offers an abandoned checkout cart recovery service that automatically tracks and emails these potential customers to remind them to complete their purchase; an easy way to potentially generate more revenue.
