Online Stores / Ecommerce Websites

More and more people are requesting online stores. There are lots of good reasons why you should get a professionally designed and built webshop.

There are a lot of shops out there - but most are pretty dire. Bad design, bad build and bad product configuration means they aren't trusted by the user. So they don't sell. There is a lot of scope to take someone elses online store idea... and just do it a lot better. Saying that, we advise that shops are as niche as possible now-adays. Something like Amazon is a hard one to try and go up against.
With professional advice (hopefully from us) it's actually really easy. Honest - it is. To get selling online, can be a matter of only 1-2months from start to finish. That includes sorting out all your products, the design, the payment gateways.... it has never been easier to 'set up shop'. Even if you do it whilst still employed.
The marketplace is huge. The web is global. And even if you just sell in the UK, the marketplace is large - and growing. With good use of Google Adwords or even Facebook PayPerClick, you can reach thousands of people for an amazingly low investment.
The "Maths" is simple. Larger audience means larger sales volume means greater buying power, means more profit.
Return on your initial Time and Money investment is fast. You get your money via PayPal or SagePay and it comes to you within 5days of purchase. That is a lot faster than most businesses. As well as that, you don't have to keep re-inventing the wheel. The shop works hard for you - even when you're out ... or sleeping.
Lastly, it is a flexibile business that you can do as a side activity to your existing business or while you are employed. So, the risk of starting one is incredibly small.
The on-costs are tiny. If you're selling products, as long as you have a garage/loft/shed that you can store stuff you don't need big offices or armies of staff. If you're selling e-products (like books or even time-units) you don't need anything more than your PC.
