eCommerce Basics- Choosing the Right Theme It is an open secret that all customers are visual creatures and they will be attracted to things that are visually enticing. Applied to the world of eCommerce, this means that an online shop that is well designed, beautiful and unique is likely to attract more visitors and customers compared to a drab online shop even if the two happen to be selling exactly the same product. The keys to perfect online store, and this is always true regardless of the specific eCommerce platform that you are using, are to make it as beautiful and as functional as possible. Whether it is Shopify themes, BigCommerce themes or eBay listing templates that you are looking for, you have to make sure that what you choose measures up to these yardsticks. Custom vs. ready-made themes When choosing the theme to use you will usually have two choices. You can either pick from one of the many ready-made themes that are already out there in the market or you can have a designer create a special, unique theme just for your store. Choosing readymade themes may be attractive because of its relatively lower cost implications but you will be better off with a custom made theme if you are looking for something unique and different from the rest. Type of platform Every ecommerce platform is different and therefore there is no single theme that will be perfect for all ecommerce platforms. When choosing a theme for your online store you should keep this fact in mind and look for themes that are designed with your platform of choice in mind. However, it is worth noting that the best developers will always try to create themes that are not just perfect for your platform of choice but which can also work well enough across other platforms that you may be using or planning to use in future. Search engine optimization Most of the biggest ecommerce platforms allow sellers to add descriptions to the products that they are selling and a good developer will take advantage of this fact to improve the overall effectiveness of the theme of the store. This can usually be achieved by trying to optimize the contents of those product descriptions for search engines mainly by introducing relevant keywords within those descriptions. Scalability Buyers in the modern market do their online shopping using all sorts of devices and you want to make sure that your store looks good and works well in all of these devices. In order to achieve this, you need to look for a scalable design theme that is easily adaptable for different devices.
