I want to hear your thoughts on this topic. I think there is a list of design features that every website must have to stay competitive in the market.

A user-friendly menu;
Advanced search function and filtering;
Call-to-action buttons;
Popups;

Product page.

What have I overlooked?

Seriously? They can put a lot of visitors off, especially if there are more than one.

Good quality product descriptions and photography.
People want to know exactly what they are getting when shopping on-line and can’t physically see or handle the product.

It’s not really a design thing, but… a good product to sell.

Design can put people off of a site; it really cant put people on a site.

A good checkout is crucial to the e-commerce experience. It adds credibility to a website. If the checkout process is not user-friendly, the buyer may become suspicious or confused. As a result, the customer may walk away without purchasing the product. So there is a need for a checkout that will provide the best experience to the checkout shopper. For example, if the customer has to go through multiple pages and click multiple times during checkout, the customer may get frustrated and cancel the purchase. There are a few things to keep in mind for a user-friendly check out process. They are:
â—Ź Make account registration optional or at least offer login via social media.
â—Ź Allow customers to update cart easily.
â—Ź Keeping the check out process on one page.
â—Ź Defects shown in front.
â—Ź Displaying checkout progress.

There are several key features that an ecommerce website’s design should include in order to be effective:

  1. A clear and concise navigation menu: This allows users to easily find the products they are looking for and move around the site.
  2. Search functionality: A search bar allows users to quickly find specific products or categories, improving the overall user experience.
  3. Product pages: Each product should have its own page with detailed information, including high-quality images, pricing, and product descriptions.
  4. Shopping cart: A shopping cart allows users to easily add and remove items as they shop, and it should be visible and accessible from anywhere on the site.
  5. Checkout process: The checkout process should be streamlined and easy to complete, with clear instructions and the option to save payment and shipping information for future purchases.
  6. Mobile responsiveness: The website should be optimized for mobile devices, with a design that is easy to use and navigate on smaller screens.
  7. Customer reviews: Customer reviews and ratings can help build trust and credibility, and they can also help users make informed decisions about their purchases.
  8. Security: The website should have robust security measures in place to protect customer information and prevent data breaches.

Overall, the design of an ecommerce website should be focused on making the shopping experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible for the user.
