Web Design and Development – E-Commerce
Looking to sell on the internet? Web3Box develops secure and effective e-commerce systems, aimed at becoming powerful marketing strategies. There is no limit to what can be achieved when it comes to commerce and the internet. We believe that knowledgeable and tactic manipulations of these two entities are the foundation for success. While technical knowledge is crucial for the development of secure and robust e-commerce systems, there are a number of management and marketing strategies that ensure high sales. Web3Box acknowledges all these facets of e-commerce and aims not only to create robust systems, but to maximize sale rates and customer satisfaction.
Web3Box has accumulated extensive experience in e-commerce website development, whilst working for companies in the Ohio area, as well as for those located in Florida. In addition, we developed websites for clients in Europe, which extends our expertise outside the US. Working within various industries and locations, makes us extremely versatile when establishing customer profiles. Among the abundance of relevant technical details that facilitate e-commerce success, here are three aspects to consider when deciding on a team of developers.

Reduced shopping cart abandonment
An average calculated based on 22 studies containing statistics on e-commerce shopping cart abandonment has shown that 67.44% of potential customers abandon their shopping carts1. Why is that?
Web3Box believes that there are three main issues to be taken into consideration when addressing this problem.
First, there is the reluctance toward security robustness. Although e-commerce Content Management Systems like Virtuemart and Magento have built-in security of the check-out process, exposure of critical user information might occur, should inexperienced web developers unknowingly hamper with this issue whilst working on customization of a shipping module, for example.
Second, there is the preferred method of payment, which is often a less popular alternative. In the absence of such an alternative, it is likely that a shopping cart will be abandoned. Web3Box can handle all major payment methods and securely checkout clients toward a payment gateway of your choice. Additionally, we can also help you determine which payment gateway to use in order to maximize your profit.
Finally, there is the issue of user-friendly checkout procedures. Web3Box follows strict rules to aid this important feature. For example, we facilitate a completely linear checkout process and visually reinforce all sensitive fields on the payment page, using images and careful explanations. * http://baymard.com/lists/cart-abandonment-rate
Efficient marketing strategies using report modules
Reports modules, present in all major e-commerce software products, are keys components of all internet-based businesses. Reports help you verify sales and orders, and provide essential data that facilitate decisions about prices, distributors, discounts and so on. However the Web3Box team will do even more, because we understand the importance to plan in advance based on well-established profit margins.
Consequently, we can develop custom reports modules that will provide your company with the proper tools to plan ahead. Take the following scenario: a presumably remarkable marketing strategy that has given some results but has not fully satisfied your expectations. In this case, a properly developed reports module will point toward the exact spot where that strategy was proven faulty, thus enabling secure and successful marketing moves.
Here are a few reporting ideas that you should consider:
– compared results of sales revenues with site visitor activity, by week and month, in total and by product line
– compared results of weekly and monthly sales with site visitor activity, over time, thus developing a trend analysis
– compared results of revenues with site visitor activity from main referrers; where the referrer is a search engine, it also matches the search query with sales revenues
What are these statistics telling us?
Who are the buyers?
How much did they buy?
When did they buy?
What did they buy?
Where were they redirected from when reaching the site?
In which region are they located?
How did they arrive on the site (for example: via what search engine query)?
What is their circulatory pattern through the site?
Which page were they visiting when leaving the site?
These statistics are based on estimates. If you are under a Monthly Subscription Plan, we will create the reports and deliver them, thus encouraging you to make full use of this sales-relevant information.
Self Management
You can rest assured that your e-commerce business works perfectly when you have the right management modules. It is a known fact that e-commerce profitability is determined by the proper management tools, which target the complete array of services, from vendors who provide products to facilitators responsible with shipping and collecting money.
Here’s a list of management modules we provide when we build e-Commerce websites:
– Store Module – where you define all details about your store, such as store description, users, payment methods etc.
– Product Catalog – where you define your Product Categories and Products; it’s also the place where you manage prices, inventory, special products, product type list, customer reviews.
– Orders Module – where you view and manage orders; you can manage orders like View, Edit, Approve, Review Shipping costs, Export reports and everything else related to these elements.
– Vendor Module – where you manage your vendors.
– Reports Module – where you can view and export orders; you also have the option to select a predefined time interval or From/To dates.
– Three related and manageable modules: Tax, Shipping and Coupons; under the Shipping module you can choose to work with any shipping company; we will also make sure that scripts are automatically connected with their records, thus enabling your customers to track their orders.
– The Manufacturers Module – available when you need to define your manufacturers.
– Finally, the Help Module will also be provided; under the Help module you will find all the information needed for your e-commerce management system to function at full its potential.
