The E-commerce difference
E-commerce websites - with the facilities to sell your products directly to customers online - are unique and different from other types of website.
E-commerce sites require a specific set of technologies - in terms of their programming and their hosting architecture. They need to be secure, with payment processing encryption. They need to handle perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of products, categorised, ordered, searchable and browsable quickly and effortlessly by potential customers. They also need an in-depth understanding of usability procedures and techniques, ensuring the path from homepage through the order process and checkout confirmation are as simple and and rapid for your customer as possible.
