Ecommerce can be very profitable, as it gives you the opportunity to sell to a wide target market, with a relatively low investment. However, it’s important not to underestimate the work involved, as the fundamentals of establishing and running a business still apply to ecommerce.
The increase in online shopping has led to a huge growth in the number of ecommerce websites and has created thousands of new businesses, but only the ones with the right business fundamentals and effective SEO will truly succeed.
Many people in both Australia and abroad have made fortunes using ecommerce either by taking existing businesses online or creating new
business models and we’d love to help you join this list of successes.
More that 5.9 million Australian’s actively shop online, spending over $11.35 billion per year (source: AC Nielsen Online Consumer Press Release). Online spending has experienced growth in double digit since 2001 and is it forecast to continue at this rate for at least five years more.
This growth is not only in Australia and neither is your ecommerce store. Worldwide over 2 billion persons, a third of the population of the world, will use the Internet by 2013 (source: IDC Worldwide Internet Usage & Commerce 2009–2013 Forecast).

Retail Starter
This is our most common ecommerce solution built on the world’s leading ecommerce platform, Magento. This solution will allow you to add hundreds or thousands of products and has a large amount of functionality included as standard.
The administration area is simply to use and extremely powerful, the navigation and purchasing process is simple and robust, it performs extremely well on the search engines and there are a large number of additional features that can be added. If you are serious about building your ecommerce business this will give you a huge advantage.
Our Retail Niche solution uses Wordpress ecommerce to create a very strong ecommerce solution, with a lot of features, but simplified when compared to the Retail Professional. This solution is suitable to ecommerce stores selling a limited number of products or targeting a local market, but is unlikely to work for large ecommerce stores wishing to compete on an Australia-wide level. This is not suitable for all businesses, but if you only have a few products in a specific niche it may well be perfect.
If you have less than 10 products and you don’t require a great deal of functionality, then this solution may give you everything you need. For the Retail Starter we utilise PayPal to create a customised ecommerce solution that we can add to your existing website or we can build this functionality within a new brochure website.
You recognise the opportunities with an ecommerce business, but unless you get it right from the start, your site may turn off potential customers or be lost in the search engines. There are three essential elements to a successful ecommerce website that you should consider.
A well designed ecommerce website will create interest and grab the visitor’s attention, it will build a strong desire to purchase and encourage them to buy. A inadequately designed ecommerce website will lose sales and cost money, so it’s important to get it right.
Knowing your target market as well as their motivations is important, like any other retail shop. Just listing products on a website and hoping people will buy them, is not the path to success. You need to create an environment where customers are comfortable, delight them with subtle features, appeal to them, and give them the reason to buy. This all sounds simple, because it is, but you have to start with the right mind-set and the right design.
Ecommerce website development requires a good deal of functionality to really be effective, but functionality shouldn’t put customers off from buying or make things complicated. The website should create a easy and enjoyable buying process for customers and enable you to manage your online orders simply and efficiently. Functions such as adding and deleting products, entering promotional codes, managing stock, printing invoices, searching products, and accepting multiple payments should all be simple.
All of our ecommerce websites are built using the latest technology and depending on the solution you choose, we can usually modify them to suit your specific needs. You can be confident that your new online shop will give you the advantages you need to compete.
Having a well-designed ecommerce website that has exceptional products and price deals, is all well and good but you need one key element. Customers! Whether you are starting a new online shop or looking to get better performance from an existing one, you need to attract a consistent stream of quality potential customers.
The most cost effective way of achieving this is search engine optimisation (SEO), so when your potential customers search for your products, you are at the top of the search results. Success for a retail shop is all about location! With an online shop it is no different. Successful SEO is the key to ecommerce marketing and it’s the difference between a prime location and a inferior one. We can also assit your with Search Engine Marketing .
