Our Process for Developing an E-commerce Platform
The final goal in the development of any e-commerce website is to facilitate a new and easier way to sell your products or services online. Additionally, with the added benefits of increased sales and profit as well as expanding the overall market reach. Below is a brief overview explaining the process of our e-commerce development services.
The Right Platform
The Right Platform: The first step of our service is choosing the right platform to use. There is a great number of software available in today’s market for the creation of e-commerce platforms. Some of the more popular platforms that are common in mainstream marketing are Magento, Squarespace, and Shopify. Despite the popularity of these platforms, we discourage any of our clients and developers from using them as they are notoriously difficult to work with in terms of creating and scaling larger projects. Appseology uses a combination of traditional HTML, CSS, JS, and WP integration in order to create a platform that can easily be scaled and used for effective functionality. Furthermore, WP platforms offer a superior user interface for administrative use, this means that a business owner can very easily manage their catalog of products and services online.
Front-End Architecture and Design
Front-End Architecture and Design: The next step of development is front-end development. In this step, our developers create the skeleton and framework of a website. We make sure that the structure is easy to navigate for both users and search engine indexing, as well as assuring mobile responsiveness. Another aspect of front-end development is design. Our design process involves diligent research of both your business’s industry and brand. We then create a unique and effective design style that is modern and eye-catching for users.
Back-End Development
Back-End Development: The lengthiest and most technical part of e-commerce development. The process of back-end development includes programming different elements, features, and functionalities of your website so that they work as a unit. Examples of this are the development of your product database, secure payment gateways, shipping, and customer data handling. Additionally, optimization of page speed, performance, and configuration are also handled in the backend. Our team of developers understands the importance of back-end development. This is why we treat this part of the development process with the most care. The end result of back-end development will result in us delivering to you a functional and robust e-commerce platform.
Testing and Launching
Testing and Launching: The final step in our service is the final testing of the platform. This requires things like running the platform on emulators to ensure that it is responsive on different devices, and running speed tests to ensure proper loading times. Steps like this ensure that the website is running at its most optimal capability.
