What’s the difference between a business and a shop? Not much really – mostly semantics. However, a shop usually has a physical offering of some sort of goods that they can provide to their buyer, whereas a business may include a service offering. Shops have specific needs in today’s digital world, and Foundation Web Design & Development can help bring those to fruition.
What does a shop need, exactly?
To compete with all of the greats out in the world, shops can rarely rely solely on in-person transactions. Having a website presence is key to getting your name and product out into the world and delivering more goods to people all over the world. While it’s still entirely possible to exist on art markets and fairs alone, the best course of action to expand your shop’s business and presence is to open an online store.
Online stores come in all different flavors, but even some of the best systems can be baffling to the everyday user. I have worked in all major shopping platforms like WordPress’ WooCommerce, Shopify, SquareSpace, and Square. I have also worked on lesser shopping platform capable builders like Wix and Weebly. My expertise can help you answer questions and solve some of your hardest unresolved shop problems.
Shop Considerations
What kind of things should you consider?
- Operating cost of the website hoster/builder/CMS
- Cost per transaction for the payment processor
- Are you taking the most preferable form of payment for customers?
- Is your order flow process clear and easy to use for a customer to place an order?
- Is your order completion process clear and easy to use to fulfill orders?
- Is your shop’s products visible in catalogues where people are shopping for it?
These are just a few items you should be considering for your shop that can help improve your sales and lower costs!
