A good ecommerce web page design will lead the visitor to the right page in one click or two at the most. Sometime Flash Web Design Company will use techniques that would never be considered for non-eCommerce websites. Everyone has seen at least one sales letter website. On these web pages the only link is to the order form. Sales letters are not the most typical eCommerce website because they usually sell only one product. That allows the web designer the ability to exaggerate the one click principle and make it an advantage. All the facts about the product have been presented to the user is a smart way while every few lines he has the option to click on the order form. If he is not yet convinced he will have the option to continue to read more facts and testimonials about the products. Believe it or not, those sales letter websites are actually selling.

“What about online shops?” Online shops have to deal with more then one product. Of course, the greater number of products increases the complexity of the website. Sophisticated eCommerce websites use a variety of personalization technologies in an effort to determine the best selection of products to offer to the visitor. Personalization technologies are a major part of advanced eCommerce websites. However this topic is beyond the scope of this article. The cleverness of an eCommerce website’s personalization technology has a major influence on its design. The first to use such technology was Amazon.com who decided to push their client’s books to a visitor based on that visitor’s past orders combined with the statistics they had collected on all visitors used to predict what someone looking at a specific book might also be interested in reading. Today the goal is to try to predict what to offer the user on his first visit as well.

An eCommerce web design is also about the layout. One important aspect is where the user’s eyes look first when accessing a web page. Lots of research has been done on this topic. Most research showed that the middle left side area will attract the most attention followed by the center of the page. By using these techniques web designers try to draw the “walking path” for the visitor’s eye, much like what was done at the supermarket. An experienced eCommerce web designer will know how to create designs to meets those demands.

If you are about to open an eCommerce website or you are already own one, make sure you understand the web design principles for online selling. Consider consulting with an experienced website designer preferably someone who has experience with eCommerce websites.

To understand what is ecommerce you first need to understand all of its parts. First off, there is ecommerce hosting or ecommerce web hosting which is where your business website “is” on the internet so to speak. A web hosting provider is an online company that runs big servers that can hold many different websites files. E-commerce hosting is hosting that specializes in websites that specifically require ecommerce related software and are geared towards commercial enterprise of some kind. These servers usually host an array of ecommerce solutions incorporated into their packages.

eCommerce Website refers to the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. eCommerce draws on such technologies as electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at one point in the transaction's life-cycle, although it may encompass a wider range of technologies such as e-mail, mobile devices and telephones as well.

E-commerce is business in the online environment. Here all transactions, deals take place over the internet.

* E-commerce websites have to exert an image of vibrancy, competitiveness and efficiency.

* The pages have to be search optimized if you want your site to be visible in search engines at a higher position.

* Integration of the website with PayPal would help accept real-time credit card processing instantly.

* The templates of the site should be designed professionally & there should be space to accommodate catalogues prepared in Excel.

* The site has to be integrated with other websites using HTML editor, which involves allotting codes to web pages.

Great post to forward to people looking to get into eCommerce.

Although all of this would seem like common knowledge, I’m astounded by how many eCommerce stores completely miss the point.

I find myself to be very picky when it comes to even the smallest details. I don’t know why but I don’t even bother with completing a transaction if the shopping cart uses multiple pages. One page checkout remove the hassle of second guessing, streamlined, and will easily increase revenue.

Although this post is focused on the actual design, incorporating customer service features helps a ton. Live help features, through chat, will really help people that may seem a bit wary about buying a product. They’re able to talk directly with someone, get help ordering, find their shipping, and more. I think a lot of people still long for the person to person contact when shopping, so using live chat bridges this gap.

Thanks for sharing a great thread.
Here are some other tips :
1. Think like a consumer, and put your products in more than one category. The online businesses that make their goods and services easy to find reap rewards in two ways: People purchase more and they experience greater overall satisfaction with the Web site. Consider up sell and cross sell opportunities by offering products that make logical sense together.
2. Keep it simple. Many people cite overly complicated navigation or too many pages in the purchase path as reasons they don't complete their online sale or abandon their shopping cart.
3. A picture really is worth a thousand words, so use photos of your products and go easy on the text. Online usability studies suggest that people do not read; they scan.
4. Market your site once it's live. It's not enough to just build a Web site. You need to make an effort to market and promote your Web site to new and existing customers.
5. Make payment processing easy. Online shoppers need a way to give you money online. That's easy these days.

You have raised very good points, in addition to that taking care of user comfort level and their behavior with site also plays an important role. When a transaction is done through a site some basics like its brand, security and trust plays an important role. Also it is time of PDA's, and smartphone devices we too have to take care of friendliness and platform independent websites.
