Filed under: Web Design Glossary by Dan @ 12:07 pm

Any website that sells products or services online is said to be an ecommerce website. Ecommerce is literally a shortened version of electronic commerce and has proven popular with consumers and businesses because of its convenience, security and speed. Ecommerce website development can be used to create single page websites offering just one or two products to large ecommerce developments that feature many categories and hundreds or even thousands of different products including reviews, images, and even videos of the products offered.

The most feature rich of ecommerce websites will include additional benefits to the consumer which, in turn, offer extra benefits to the website owner. These features include advanced reporting as well as advanced customer account management and shopping cart functions or they may be more product based such as cross product promotional options. Ecommerce website development options are vast and varied allowing for the creation of a highly customised online shop. Customisation also includes the branding of the ecommerce website development to match any existing branding work that has been done.

Ecommerce website development is used by individuals as well as companies regardless of their size. Naturally, smaller websites will usually cost less than larger ones but good ecommerce website development will allow for the addition of new products and new pages without having to rely on the website developer to add these pages on behalf of the client. The self sufficiency of ecommerce websites is one of the factors that makes them so appealing to businesses.
