How to start building an e-commerce site?

Are you thinking about building your e-commerce site and online shop? Perhaps you’ve already tried but the marketing results weren’t as expected. WeDo can help with that, so here’s what you’ll need to know about getting your e-commerce shop up and ready.

What we can help you with is finding a domain name, site hosting, web design, and finally – marketing solutions and ads. Once we do all this for you, your e-commerce shop will have a memorable domain name on Google and will be intriguing to consumers both through the ads and unique design. Let’s take a look at how it’s done!

Our three golden rules for getting your e-commerce shop going

The first step (and an essential one) for building your own e-commerce shop is to choose your product type and explore the competition. Once you have a clear picture of your business strategy and product idea, you can leave the rest to WeDo. We like to think that there are three key steps in getting your online shop up and running:

Choosing a domain name and website hosting

In a nutshell, every website you see online has a domain name and is hosted by one of the hosting services that house the entire site to be viewable to visitors. Don’t worry – at WeDo, we’ll help you with this and we can work together in choosing a perfect domain name for your site.

For instance, we did a website called Icepuff with the same domain name and it worked well because it sells vaping products. So, with a bit of wordplay, you can guess why this name is appealing to customers looking for new cool vaping flavors.

Having a catchy domain name helps make your e-commerce shop stand out from the rest, and reliable web hosting will buy the spot for your site on Google so everyone can see it.

Designing a site logo and homepage

To make your online shop leave an impression on the customers, you’ll need to dedicate time and passion to crafting a unique logo. Of course, the WeDo team helps with that as well, as you can see from our project catalog with previously crafted logos.

The design of the entire page and the site logo can help customers pass final judgment on your shop. With the expertise of our design team, customers will stay attracted to your online shop and you’ll get your business going in no time.

Marketing strategy

Lastly, but not least important, there’s the marketing plan and strategy that our team will discuss with you. There are numerous types of marketing approaches you can take to boost your sales. We can help with social media marketing options and content marketing.

On top of that, we’ll make sure to create custom options for your site like loyalty programs to entice your customers to shop more and collect points to win prizes and discounts, so they never pick another shop in the niche over your site!

Does it still sound complicated to create your own e-commerce shop? Well, this guide hopefully answers some of your questions, so feel free to turn to our team if you have any unresolved inquiries. Ultimately, with our web design and marketing experts, and domain recommendations, you’ll get your site up and running faster than you might expect!

One of the major problems when trying to start your own e-commerce shop, company website, or personal site is hosting. If you aren’t familiar with it, at this point you might wonder – what’s web hosting?

Web hosting for a site is like your bank account for your financial information – it stores all the information and data of the site on a secured spot. It helps get your site up and going with a secure option of getting back-ups. On top of that, your site will be secured on a safe server of the web hosting company, and WeDo can help you with picking a domain name and hosting.
