Things To consider Before  you Plan Your Ecommerce Website

1. Understanding the needs of your business

2. Know Your target audiences

3. Your products are vitally important. A Picture is worth a thousand words

If your website does not reflect the idea behind your business and products relatively quickly it will not be received well.

I wouldnt advise getting too caught up in the beauty of the design, take this for instance, there are sites out there like http://www.smartyhadaparty.com   (not that pretty) however the prices keep people coming back. 

There are others such as http://www.boscovs.com ( alittle better looking) However once they shop their one time, they won't go back.....who wants to wait weeks on end for their items and then find out only part of it is coming and the other "parts" will come weeks later still.....ecommerce websites need to be easy to use, have great prices and ship quickly and you need to let you customers know your ecommerce website does ALL of this and that alone will keep them coming back.

Easy Navigation
Make sure that your website navigation is simple and easy to find. Oten times people see a product they want to order and have to jump through hoops to find it to buy it.   Also, make it easy to find all your main pages. Use a common navigation bar throughout your pages, so visitors could easily get back to your home page or any other category pages.

Visible Search Bar
A great Ecommerce store should have a well placed Search Bar, which your visitors can use when they are not able to find what they are looking for, using the category navigation, it is a easy step for them to follow and if you have this placed ideally on the top of each web page it is easy to locate and use.

Buy Now or Order Button
A very visible order button is foremost important in any ecommerce website, make sure your product page has a distinctly visible Order / Buy now button.

Cross Selling Items
If you place some items related to each of products that you are selling, right next to the order page, it is lkely that your visitors will also end up buying them.
