This week we look at things such as support, promotion of popular items as well as money back guarantee and the importance of testing.</p> <p><span></span></p> <h3>#1. Keep content fresh</h3> <p>This might seem trivial, however just like any other website you need to keep your content fresh. There is nothing worse than visiting a web store only to realize that the store hasn&#8217;t been updated since 2008. You need to keep a regular schedule of updates otherwise customers will think the store is closed and the website just hasn&#8217;t been taken down yet.</p> <h3>#2. Sales support</h3> <p>If you were running a physical store the first thing you would do would be to employ sales personnel, running a web store is no different, don&#8217;t expect that just because everything is online customers don&#8217;t need support. From the very beginning you need to offer some sort of sales support, and you need to make sure they respond in a reasonable time, I am not saying you need to have a 24/7 live chat however if it takes you 3 weeks to get back to people then they will have moved on and bought the product elsewhere.</p> <h3>#3. Detailed information</h3> <p>Your product details need to be as detailed as possible, yes you might be selling T-Shirts however if your only product detail says “Green T-Shirt” then trust me people are going to be confused. You need to offer as much detail about the product as possible, these</p> <h3>#4. Consistent design</h3> <p>Just like with any other website you need to be consistent in your design, if you are using light colors on your front page then stick with these colors throughout the entire store, don&#8217;t all of a sudden have one site with a very different color it is very distracting.</p> <h3>#5. Tell customers if you have a physical store near them</h3> <p>Even though more and more people are starting to complete their shopping online some people still prefer brick &amp; mortar stores, if you have an actual showroom near your customers then let them know about it.</p> <h3>#6. Promote popular items</h3> <p>Do you have a few items that are really popular with some customers? Chances are if you see a product being purchased more frequently than others then this product is of interest to many more than just those who recently purchased it. Tell your customers about your most popular products who knows they might just be looking for exactly that product.</p> <h3>#7. Testing the store</h3> <p>Like with any website there is nothing more important than testing the design, a web store is no different, you really need to test and retest your design before going live. If something isn’t working you want to know about it before your customers start complaining, perhaps you can get a few of your friends to test the site, chances are they will see something you haven’t considered after working months on the project.</p> <h3>#8. Money back guarantee</h3> <p>Let’s face it you just can’t make everyone happy, there is always going to be someone who will complain and want his or her money back. If you want to keep customers coming back then you must offer a money back guarantee.</p> <h3>#9. Keep check out clean</h3> <p>You might have noticed that physical stores always seem to cram a whole bunch of products in the checkout area, the reason for this is that you are much more likely to do spontaneous shopping while waiting in the checkout line. DO NOT do this online, there is nothing more annoying than trying to pay for your purchase only to be bombarded with new offers, keep the checkout area clean!</p> <h3>#10. Remember your target market</h3> <p>As with any website you need to remember who your target market is, for instance if your web store sells toys then the colors you will want to use will be different than if you were selling furniture for a retirement home.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post <a href="http://designreviver.com/inspiration/how-to-optimize-ecommerce-part2/">How to optimize your e-commerce web design – Part 2</a> appeared first on <a href="http://designreviver.com">Design Reviver - Web Design Blog</a>.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesignReviver/~4/t-b2EduY09A" height="1" width="1" />Rss AD 10 Great Photoshop tutorials for WordPress themes http://www.flashdevelop.net/postshow.php?pid=6666 <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12535" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-01 at 7.58.39 PM" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-01-at-7.58.39-PM.png" width="620" height="400" /></p> <p>Wordpress has long been one of the most favored blogging platforms, our very own Design Reviver runs on WordPress.

Today we will present 10 tips on how to create a better e-commerce website, next week we will present the remaining 10 suggestions.</p> <p><span></span></p> <div> <p>The most important thing to remember when creating a web store is that while the design is really important, the main aim of the website should be to make the process from searching for a product to completing the order as easy as possible. If users have to search through the whole site just to find the &#8220;buy&#8221; button then chances are they will start looking elsewhere.</p> <h3>#1. Make searching easy</h3> <p>There is nothing more important than the search function when you are creating a web store, if your customers have no way of searching through the store then trust me they are not going to stick around. If you can&#8217;t find what you are looking for within 30 seconds of entering a website then you are 50% more likely to ignore the site and move on to another site.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12458" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 10.44.06 AM" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-10.44.06-AM.png" width="492" height="147" /></p> <h3>#2. High Quality images</h3> <p>I can not repeat this enough, really this goes for every kind of website not only a web store but all websites, there is absolutely nothing worse than pixilated images. Yes when we were all surfing on dial-up modems then sure images had to be smaller or they would take forever to load, however today most people have faster internet and therefore there is no excuse for using images of a low quality.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12468" alt="images" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/images.jpg" width="282" height="179" /></p> <h3>#3. Narrow down content</h3> <p>You need to allow your customers to narrow down their content, in other words give them different options, if you are selling clothing then allow your customer to search by their size, or the color they are looking for. If you offer clothes in different styles then allow your customer to select these, let&#8217;s say you are selling casual and formal clothing then offer the option of browsing either section. Of course you need to make sure that your customers can change their mind without having to restart everything.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-12472 aligncenter" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 11.29.29 AM" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-11.29.29-AM.png" width="297" height="113" /><img class="size-full wp-image-12473 aligncenter" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 11.28.54 AM" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-11.28.54-AM.png" width="121" height="121" /></p> <h3>#4. Call to action buttons</h3> <p>Please make sure your call to action buttons are not tiny or hidden somewhere in a corner. Since the goal of your website is to sell a product then you need to make sure your call to action buttons are as visible as possible. Also remember that more and more visitors are using tablets to surf the web and therefore your Call to Action buttons need to be large enough that people can press them with their fingers without running the risk of pressing a whole bunch of other buttons in the process.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12471" alt="1346993000_call-to-action-button" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1346993000_call-to-action-button.jpg" width="670" height="350" /></p> <h3>#5. Don&#8217;t hide additional costs</h3> <p>You need to be upfront with your customers, tell them exactly how much something is going to cost, make sure you let your customers know how much shipping costs, also don&#8217;t just add a service charge at the end of the purchase process without letting your customers know from the beginning that a service charge is added to all purchases.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12475" alt="hidden" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/hidden.jpg" width="275" height="183" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>#6. Keep it clean</h3> <p>There is nothing worse than a messy, over crowed store, this applies both to brick and mortar stores as well as web stores. You need to keep it clean, you can do this through several techniques, one of the most popular is spacing things out, make sure you are not jamming everything on-top of each other, leave some space around the different elements.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12470" alt="messy-website" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/messy-website.jpg" width="450" height="300" /></p> <h3>#7. Customer reviews</h3> <p>If you are not collecting customer reviews then NOW is the time to start, really a website without customer reviews is useless, we like to hear what other people thought about a product before we decide whether to purchase it or not. Don&#8217;t trust me? Then  simply open YouTube and search for product reviews and you get more than  3,160,000 videos.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12469" alt="Customer-Reviews" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Customer-Reviews.jpg" width="620" height="300" /></p> <h3>#8. Trust signals</h3> <p>As humans we want to trust others however too many times have we been cheated in the past, and therefore people feel uncomfortable with giving out their details to sites they haven&#8217;t used before. If you can offer some form of reassurance that your website is trustworthy then you are much more likely to have more customers. If you can add trust signals somewhere on your site then do so, of course only if you can actually offer this trust, otherwise don&#8217;t be a fool and simply add it to look cool.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12465" alt="trust-sign" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/trust-sign.png" width="600" height="153" /></p> <h3>#9. Don&#8217;t hide the shopping cart</h3> <p>This is really important, you need to make it easy for your customers to see what is currently in their shopping cart, don&#8217;t be cute and hide it somewhere at the bottom of the website where your customers can&#8217;t find it, make sure it is visible and present so that your customers know exactly how much is in their shopping cart and how to checkout.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12463" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 11.01.25 AM" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-11.01.25-AM.png" width="189" height="71" /></p> <h3>#10. Stock availability</h3> <p>Make sure your customers know if you have available stock of something before they start the purchasing process, honestly there is nothing worse than searching through hundreds of items and finding the one you love only to find out that they are already sold out or worse yet not being produced anymore. If something is out of stock then make sure you tell your customers immediately.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12461" alt="Out-of-Stock-300x300" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Out-of-Stock-300x300.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <p>The post <a href="http://designreviver.com/inspiration/how-to-optimize-ecommerce-web-design-p1/">How to optimize your e-commerce web design &#8211; Part 1</a> appeared first on <a href="http://designreviver.com">Design Reviver - Web Design Blog</a>.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesignReviver/~4/DLULGmGVgE0" height="1" width="1" />Rss AD 20 inspiring uses of white space http://www.flashdevelop.net/postshow.php?pid=6659 <p><img class="aligncenter" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-25 at 2.12.22 PM" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-25-at-2.12.22-PM.png" width="620" height="400" /></p> <p>Over the past few years white space has become immensely popular.

We’re supposed to <em>delight</em> our users, even provide them with <em>magic</em>, so that they love our websites, apps and start-ups. User experience is a very blurry concept. Consequently, many people use the term incorrectly. Furthermore, many designers seem to have a firm (and often unrealistic) belief in how they can craft the user experience of their product. However, UX depends not only on how something is designed, but also other aspects. In this article, I will try to clarify why UX cannot be designed.</p> <p><a href="http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2011/03/15/why-user-experience-cannot-be-designed/"><img alt="hassenzahls-model2" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/hassenzahls-model2.jpg" width="566" height="441" /></a></p> <h3><a href="http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/62260-five-brands-that-reaped-rewards-after-adopting-responsive-design">Five brands that reaped rewards after adopting responsive design</a></h3> <p>Responsive design is often touted as the future of web design based on little more than a vague sense that it makes websites more user-friendly and looks very cool.</p> <p><a href="http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/62260-five-brands-that-reaped-rewards-after-adopting-responsive-design"><img alt="o_neill-blog-full" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/o_neill-blog-full1.jpg" width="566" height="380" /></a><a href="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/o_neill-blog-full.jpg"><br /> </a></p> <h3><a href="http://speckyboy.com/2013/03/11/collection-of-fresh-and-professional-gui-sets/">Collection of Fresh and Professional GUI Sets</a></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Every web designer is aware of the benefits of using pre-designed GUI sets, particularly when they are as comprehensive, as sophisticated, and as modern as the sets we have for you today.

One of the unexpected benefits of this is that app icons can also reveal more details. While some icons look great with a minimalist feel – incredibly detailed app icons now have more of a chance to shine.</p> <p><a href="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/01-icon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12411" alt="01-icon" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/01-icon.jpg" width="557" height="418" /></a></p> <h3><a href="http://thenextweb.com/dd/2013/01/13/30-new-inspiring-responsive-design-websites/">29 New Inspiring Responsive Web Designs</a></h3> <p>Everyone who is anyone is talking about responsive design these days — and everyone certainly has a strong opinion about it.

We’ve seen a wide variety of marketers testing image size these days, including B2B, ecommerce and media sites. I’m not talking about allowing your visitors to click to enlarge images.

Whilst a city paper may feature some local news, its sports, national and international news coverage is just as likely to be read by someone on a different continent. In 2012, The New York Times (44.8m monthly readers) fell behind London’s Daily Mail (45.3m monthly readers) as the popular newspaper website in the world. Largely because, unlike many of its rivals — one of the most notable being The Boston Globe — the NYT has left its online offering firmly rooted in the 2000s (the last major revision to the NYT website was in 2006 and it felt dated then).</p> <p><a href="http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/03/the-new-york-times-redesigns/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12409" alt="featured_nyt@wdd2x" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/featured_nyt@wdd2x.jpg" width="566" height="323" /></a></p> <h3> <a href="http://smashinghub.com/30-awesome-free-wood-textures.htm">30 Awesome Free Wood Textures</a></h3> <p>Nature can be a great source of inspiration and creativity for everyone.

Hiring Logo Design Company http://www.flashdevelop.net/postshow.php?pid=6646 <p><a href="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/building-budget-transparency.jpg"><img class="aligncenter

business owner wants their logo or marketing materials to appear like an amateur has put them together. When a potential customer goes to compare to like companies, the one that appears more knowledgeable and appealing will often win them over. Attractive marketing materials are essential since they are often the first impression a person has of a company or business.</p> <p>Unfortunately, hiring a talented graphic designer involves quite a bit of money. Many budgets cannot bend their budgets to accommodate this type of service. So, how does a company ensure they are not only hiring the right designer, but that they are getting them at the best possible price?</p> <p><span></span></p> <h3><strong>Shop Around</strong></h3> <p>Do not feel like you have to sign a contract with the first graphic designer you come across. Look around. Don’t be afraid to do cost comparisons. Bring these findings with you when you meet new designers. Not everyone will be willing to budge on their price but perhaps a designer you just love will agree to bridge the gap here or there. You have to negotiate. Perhaps they are firm on their estimate but are willing to throw something extra in. Or there is  a package deal with services you weren’t going to purchase but the bundle cost is too good to pass up. As in anything else, the best way to save money is to spend the time beforehand doing prep work.</p> <h3>Knowledge</h3> <p>Knowing what you are looking for and what you want beforehand will save you not only time, but also money. The more proofs, edits and redesigns you require to get the desired final product – the more you will pay a designer for their work. Take some time to do some research on design, recent trends in design and to really map out what you are seeking for your logo or marketing material. Coming to a designer with a plan with make proceedings go so much easier, thus saving you money.</p> <h3>Experience</h3> <p>Often those who want the best designers have the money to back up their wish. However, not every company can afford to hire the most skilled, most experienced or most wanted designer on the market. If you are working on a budget, your dreams of having a top notch designer may seem out of reach. However, you can find a great and talented designer without having to take out a second line of credit. Once you get past having to have the right ‘name’ behind your work, you can focus on upcoming designers who have loads of talent. These new designers may not have the experience or notoriety, but they can still produce stellar work that will grab the attention of your client base. It will require research to find the right designer, but it will be worth it in the end.</p> <h3>Protection</h3> <p>As a business owner, you need to protect yourself. Look for a designer or company that has been around for a while. Check their feedback rating at places like the Better Business Bureau. Ask your local Chamber of Commerce if they have heard anything about the company. Do an online search to see if there is anyone online talking about the designer, their work or their design firm. If you cannot find anything doing this research, ask the designer about insurance. A serious graphic designer will carry some type of liability insurance. Having insurance is a strong indication that the designer is serious about what they do.</p> <h3>Combine Services</h3> <p>Many companies offer in-house design services as part of their packages and deals. Instead of first seeking out a graphic design, considering choosing your printing company first and ask them to add on design services. Often this arrangement will save you money since the printing company is seeking first and foremost to acquire your printing needs and is offering design as an added bonus.</p> <p>There are multiple ways to save costs when it comes to procuring a graphic designer for your needs. Doing the necessary research beforehand will go far when it comes to saving money and sparing your budget. Avoid rushing into making a decision and don’t be scared to negotiate. These techniques will ensure that you trim unnecessary fat from the cost of design and get the marketing pieces you are hoping for.</p> <p>The post <a href="http://designreviver.com/inspiration/budget-suggestions-for-hiring-logo-design-company/">Budget Suggestions for Hiring Logo Design Company</a> appeared first on <a href="http://designreviver.com">Design Reviver - Web Design Blog</a>.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesignReviver/~4/26KuUN3tPAY" height="1" width="1" />Rss AD Weekly News Roundup – 15 March 2013 http://www.flashdevelop.net/postshow.php?pid=6644 <p><a href="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Timberland-Women.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12348" alt="Timberland-Women" src="http://designreviver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Timberland-Women.jpg" width="620" height="400" /></a></p> <p>The week is coming to an end and that means it is time for us to look back on the week that passed, the best design news, resources and other goodies.
