What is eCommerce development
eCommerce web development is the process of building and designing an eCommerce website where consumers can purchase products online.
Because eCommerce websites are so popular with consumers, developing an eCommerce website can help you generate more conversions and revenue for your business.
An eCommerce web developer’s primary responsibility is to make the design prototype of a website come to life and overall function as a website. In other words, web development involves making the design of a website function as it should.
For example, a web developer would ensure that any navigational buttons, contact forms, calls to action (CTAs) buttons, and hyperlinks function as they should.
What is the best eCommerce platform?
Different eCommerce platforms offer different features and prices. Whichever route you rely on when building your website, always think about the below factors carefully:
The platform you choose must ensure your website is constantly updated and managed, has great uptime, intuitive and seamless payment processors and a shopping cart, good for customer service and user experience. Ensure security for your site and customers’ data
Along with perfect SEO ranking, high performance and accessibility rating onto of being responsive and support many features like up-selling, multiple currencies, translations, reviews, after marketing, abandoned checkout remarking and more.
Fortunately, the Visionary Works team has dealt with many eCommerce projects over the years and can help navigate this complex and confusing world for you.
How can I get more sales?
User experience and Search Engine Optimisation are everything to increasing store revenue. Several great tactics are used to boost sales. Your site needs to have very high-performing pages from an SEO perspective to rank it higher on Google.

Design
In the first phase, we work closely with you to learn not only what your requirements are but the reasons behind them. By putting ourselves in your shoes, we can truly understand the problems that need to be solved.
After an initial free consultation, we build a requirements document and build a breakdown of design, development and support needed along with the hourly required. We charge an hourly rate so we can scale up or down depending on your needs. Usually, we will provide recommendations on where we can provide the most value.
Once you’re happy with the quote, we’ll send the contract over and after receiving the first payment we’ll move over to the design phase.

We needed a new redesign for our website to keep our online presence active. The &Elements team came into our offices, and we worked together on the requirements for the new website. A few days later, they came back with the design prototype, which after we approved we got our site up and running a couple of weeks later and it even works on mobiles now. Thanks guys!

Ex-CTO of BT
There is nothing like a change of career for creating a tidal wave of disruption; and after decades of leading industry, I was ready for a change. This needed capable hands and minds, but serendipitously, I met Element Softworks! After working with them over 2 months we created my new brand and website. Luke and his team are the best I have ever worked with, and therefore come with my full support and highest recommendation.
