Ecommerce Package - Bespoke Website Design

Applicable to all projects from January 2023

Before we start building your website we create a skeletal design, of exactly what your website will look like. 

With our e-commerce package, we first agree on the design and your preferred colour scheme of the homepage using the desktop view once you are happy we then go through the same design process with the mobile view of the homepage. After both views of the homepage have your approval we then
repeat the process with the category & the product page.

Only after these three main pages (with both desktop and mobile views) are approved we start the build process.

It is important that you are happy with the design colour and layout of your homepage, category page, and product pages before we start the build, as any design changes to these main pages after your design sign-off may incur an additional charge.

Adding Categories & Products

To create products, you must define how you want the products on your website to be organised. Most e-commerce websites have one, two, or three levels of categories, however
with our content management system, you can have any number of category levels.
It is your responsibility to add the categories and products directly into the content management system and we will give you training on how you do this. 

We do offer bulk e-commerce Package - Detailed Specification

ADDING PRODUCTS

imports (and bulk updates after the initial import) this is an additional requirement that is not included in the eCommerce package. Our experience suggests that the largest task for a client in creating a new eCommerce website is the product creation. This is in terms of getting the information, rather than simply adding it to the content management system, so it is important that you understand your role in this process.

Product Information
Each product will have several different fields which you will be able to manage through the content management system. The standard fields that are available are:
▪ Name
▪ Category (each product must be in one primary category which determines the URL)
▪ Additional categories (each product can be any number of additional categories)
▪ Description, and 2 other large text fields (e.g. key features and specification – often
displayed within tabs on a product page)
▪ Images (you can upload any number of images per product with the first image also
being used away from the product page)
▪ Price (you can either display products with one single price or as 2 differing prices where the
second price is based on the first; mostly used by websites listing a price both with and
without VAT)
▪ Sale price (when a product is on sale)
▪ Stock quantity (if you have a limited number of items after a time the product is displayed on the website but can not be purchased)
▪ Merchant ID (optional and often used where you have a specific supplier reference)
▪ Tags (used to then pull out products in a similar way to categories, e.g. “popular”,
“new in” or “sale”)
▪ Product options are also available (e.g. sizes & colours) but are subject to your exact
requirements this can be an additional requirement to your E commerce 

URL Structure & SEO

When you create a category or product the URL is created and the format for all URLs is:
▪ www.yourshop.com/_shop/category-name/
▪ www.yourshop.com/_shop/category-name/product-name/
You can edit the category or product name after creation, but the URL will not change. You can of course delete and then recreate the category or product. However, if you have added many
products to a category this is quite time consuming.

Categories and products have meta tags automatically generated when you first create them and the content management system will use the information entered which can then be
edited at meta level if required.

We also offer an optional SEO marketing service where we target specific keywords for clients so if this is of interest to you please contact one of our support team who will be happy to
explain this service to you.

Product Filters
Filters are a good way, used by many large ecommerce websites, to allow a visitor to reduce the number of products visible within a category. You can create product filters in the content manage system at the website level which can then be assigned to a category and then displayed.

Please note that it is fairly time consuming to then select the filters applicable to individual products but something that can be done over time and something that certainly enhances the user experience on your website. Ecommerce Package – Detailed Specification

Ecommerce Search

A keyword search based on either the product title or the product description (or both) can be added to your ecommerce website to enable visitors to find products easily. The search is not intelligent so it searches for the same text string, for example “water” would not match “drink” so it is important to keep this in mind with your product information data.

Typically, this is added into the header of the website so whilst browsing the website it is easy for visitors to search but as the design of our ecommerce package is bespoke the ecommerce
search box can be added where required.

Discount Codes
Discount codes are a good way of encouraging repeat orders or attracting new customers. You can create discount codes which can offer either an amount off (e.g. £10) or a percentage off (e.g. 10%). When creating a discount code, you also can set a number that are valid (e.g. after 10 redemptions the code is no longer valid) and an expiry date (e.g. discount valid for 7 days
from creation).

Please note that discount codes are not the same as gift vouchers and we would be happy to develop a gift voucher facility for any client but as the requirements would vary based on what your business needs this is an additional requirement.

The discount code is entered into the checkout form and validated at that point when it will then discount the total paid accordingly.

Payment Gateway
We offer several different payment gateways and all these gateways work as “offsite” solutions removing the need for you to process card payments with the additional compliance this requires. If you are looking to use a different payment gateway, then please get in touch
