Ready to grow your business with a custom eCommerce website that will make selling easy?

Custom eCommerce websites designed by A Lined Design, owned by YOU.

Making sales just got a whole lot easier when we craft an eCommerce site customised to your business needs.

GETTING YOUR GOODIES ONLINE IS A SMART MOVE.

Bricks and mortar stores have the perils of lockdowns, people are interested in keeping themselves safe, and you get the benefit of reaching a wider audience.

This audience is different. They shop from the comfort of home, in their track pants, mug of coffee (or wine) on one side of the computer and credit card on the other.

Have you heard the myth that having a custom online store is too complicated or too expensive?

Not if it will pay for itself!

And then some.
OVER A FEW YEARS THIS WILL COST YOU WAY MORE THAN A ONE-TIME FEE FOR HIRING A PROFESSIONAL WEB DESIGNER.
Setting up a store on a third party eCommerce platform is easy, sure. But you’ll be paying for a subscription, annual fees, and you won’t own your stuff. They can make changes or increase your costs at anytime. Not to mention you’ll be stuck with templates and won’t be able to customise.

In every eCommerce website design we build, we include these key features:

customised design

We eat with our eyes first, right? We analyise your ideal client, plan their user journey and ensure that those peeps feel seen and heard and most importantly, stay on your website! A convenient layout, aesthetically pleasing typography and iconography, crisp visuals, and other on-site design elements that elevate your online shopping experience above all the rest.

ENGAGING CONVERTING COPY

After your prospect has decided that your visuals are worthy of keeping their attention, the words (copywriting) keep them focussed inspired and call them to action. Words create a deeper connection and we use language that speaks directly to your ideal user. Product descriptions, frequently asked questions, your core pages.

PAYMENT GATEWAY INTEGRATIONS (PAYPAL, STRIPE, AFTERPAY)

You need to be able to choose who your money goes to, and have a bit of control over the associated costs and the ability to have multiple payment gateways if you want to, so users can choose which payment options they want to use. All gateways use the customer’s credit card rather than direct deposit. See more on those ongoing costs below.

CUSTOMISED USER EXPERIENCE

We keep the customer nurtured in every step of their journey with you, displaying a cohesive brand experience, opportunities to show and communicate your values and turn the right visitors into customers. We do this with:

  • System Emails – those emails that a website sends to customers after they make a purchase and to confirm that it has been sent, we make sure they’re in your brand colours with your logo, and a consistent brand voice.
  • Upselling and cross selling tools – Suggestions to buy something bigger better or which might compliment what just got added to the customer’s shopping cart, bringing more value to the customer’s buying process.
  • Custom purchase complete/thank you page – Once your customer has completed the checkout process you have another opportunity to make a connection. Instead of a bog standard “transaction complete” page, we keep that brand experience going and invite them to settle down with a blog or connection on social media with your custom-designed thank you page.
  • Social sharing buttons – on each page and product we can build buttons to help your customers do the marketing for you, sharing to their social networks or pinterest and getting you some tasty backlinks.

EASY TO NAVIGATE AND SEARCH

  • Menus and search bar- Navigation is an umbrella term for all the elements people can use to reach specific information on your website. These include the menu at the top of each page, the main shop page and the filters in the sidebar, on-site search boxes, and footer. If you aren’t able to create a navigation path which suits your and your customer’s needs, you’ll end up with a pretty but dysfunctional website few online shoppers will want to use, and your conversion rate will suffer for it. We ensure that each action taken results in something useful for your users.
  • Product categories and tags – when you go to the supermarket or hardware store, you know what belongs in what isle because of the big ole label hanging above your head at the end of each isle. That’s the job of a category. We look at your content and how it can be best organised to help customers find what they are looking for quicker.

SELLER TOOLS - ALL THE ADMIN STUFF YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR ECOMMERCE BUSINESS LIFE EASIER

  • Shipping and delivery options, shipping zones, or free shipping with coupons or purchase over a nominated value.
  • Invetory Management to ensure customers know when an item is out of stock and set their expectations
    Discount coupons and promo codes to help you run online sales with minimal admin work
  • Tax calculations for that dreaded pile of paperwork each quarter, and ensure that taxes are only charged to the customers required to pay
  • Integrations with other software and apps like xero

GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND SEO INTEGRATION

Search engine optimization… sounds like black magic, right? Google needs you to speak her language before she’ll even bother sending traffic your way. How do you do that? With a clever team at your side, google schema markup, a few pixels here and there along with a prayer to the search engine gods.

We build in SEO as a standard part of our eComm sites. This could save you thousands on marketing and campaign costs.

MOBILE RESPONSIVE DESIGN

Around half of consumers shop on their phone. You really need to ensure that your site works well across all device sizes (and there are SO many!) so that each customer has a great on site experience without any design constraints.

SAFE, SECURE, RELIABLE, AND BACKED UP

You absolutley must have a SSL certficate – it gets you that locky thing in your browser bar and tells people you’re not about to sell their information to spies. Google requires you to have one before she’ll bother indexing you too – yet so many people seem to miss this important step. 

YOUR CORE WEB PAGES

  • Your home page – How will a customer know you can solve their problem? How will they know you’re for them and to keep on browsing? We have some clever tricks to make sure your ideal someone stays, and the less ideal bounce away elsewhere.
  • About page – YOUR ABOUT PAGE IS NOT ABOUT YOU. <—– We shouted that. Your about page is 100% about your customer, how you can help them and positioning yourself as the guide offering to make their lives better. Sure, you’ll offer up a bit of your experience and empathy but more toward the end, but still it’s meant to establish you as an authority. For them.
  • Product template – each prodct has a particular layout, flow and vibe. We build a template to showcase your brand and products in the most appetising way.
  • Shop main – Having all products on one page is a really important feature for all online stores. Users can filter, sort, and select the items which appeal to them based on the categories and tags which most appeal to them. You put the power of browsing in their hands, just like if they were browsing in the real.
  • Checkout – a cart in the menu, a modal, a tray off screen? Which suits you best? We look at your online business and custom design the right cart experience for you.
  • Frequently asked questions – so much gold here! Anticipate user needs, answer them clearly, get fabulous traffic from google all in the one thing? YEAH.
  • Contact page – troubleshoot common concerns with the FAQ first, then guide the user to give you helpful information with thoughtful questions and set expectations with custom notifications after the form is submitted.
  • Blog – you should be content marketing. This is where you show your potential customers that you really know your stuff. We find that the number one page for most of our clients is a blog article where they have answered a customer question really well. Make the most of that online presence and get blogging!
