Online store design can take many forms, but it still depends on several essential elements. We introduced some of them in the previous two articles, but they are still not enough to create a complete website UX design. We will continue providing inspiration and guide you step by step toward building a strong eShop.
7. Blog
Adding a blog to an online store has many benefits. First, it helps the eShop with search engine optimization. Blog content can also softly promote website products, such as by publishing product news, introducing product features, usage methods, and experience sharing. This is more persuasive than the similar product descriptions often found on product pages. A blog also allows online store visitors to leave comments and replies, strengthening interaction with customers.
8. Social media integration
Combining website UX design with social media is an essential element. Social media is well known for its speed of spread and broad audience. If products on an eShop can be shared by visitors to these platforms, more people can discover the eShop and may enter the store through social media to shop. Some users also share products they are considering buying to their own social media accounts as a record, so they can find the product again when they are ready to act.
In addition, most social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram allow businesses to create business pages. Sharing online store products through these pages is also a good way to attract customers to visit the eShop.
9. HTML5 and CSS3
HTML5 is the fifth revision of HTML and the latest standard. Its main role is to make the internet more semantic, so web languages are easier for humans and machines to understand and read. It also provides better support for embedded multimedia, reduces browser dependence on plugins, and improves webpage compatibility and stability. After HTML5, web development no longer needs separate code for PC, Android, iOS, and other clients. As long as the site follows HTML5 standards, webpages can run properly across clients, greatly reducing website design and development time and cost.
CSS is a computer language that adds styles to HTML. It controls fonts, colors, positioning, structure, and other visual elements. CSS3 is an upgraded version that can reduce development and maintenance costs. It can use one tag to achieve drawing, slicing, optimization, and image modification effects. CSS3 can also present more visual effects, replace unnecessary nested tags, reduce image usage, and lower the number of objects that need to load when a webpage is viewed. Visitors can therefore enjoy faster page loading when browsing the online store.
